[Portrait of a Knight]

hamsom boi

Sabtastic responds:

Thank you kindly!

[Jill Valentine Fanart]

It's got some TWDisms about it, and I can't quite place it. Solid work! Like the angularity

MMorali responds:

Thank you! I hadn't thought about it, TWD, it does make sense haha.

They did my boy piggy dirty

Texturing is nice, kind of heavy on the subsurf around the back of the head but that with the diffuse breakup and skin bump/normal makes it look believable.
I like the choice of adding more breakup with hair gen
The sculpt itself is a little soft for a pig head, but if you were going for rubber mask you nailed it--
Getting ears right in sculpts is tough, you using blender? If you're using sculptris, zbrush, or mudbox I can't speak on the specifics of how to do it because I haven't touched most of those, (but the general idea still stands software-independent)

If you're using blender I'd suggest modeling the ears separately, mirroring them, convert to mesh, join them to the main model in object mode, then remeshing, that way you can get the sharp edge of a pointed ear without fighting with the grab brush to pull the form out of the rest of head.

Kud4m4 responds:

Wow! Thank u for the comment! Yeah I've made this one in blender and your adviсe is a big helping hand. Thanks again

[OviVixen Mobile Style Mockups [POLL CLOSED]]

1 feels right, but I love 3 and 8's readability. 8 could also have some cool story deviation but AH! THEY ALL SO GOOD

OviManic responds:

If you have found a favorite, there’s a strawpoll link in this art post where you can make your vote! I’m glad you liked them, and thank you!

NOICE
Is the shading on the cat all baked in or a shader? I like the falloff and if you're getting those results with a supplementary shader you can definitely do some awesome paint-y stuff with it

Johngivitis responds:

All shading is painted on and the same goes for the other spinning objects and the grass. I think doing it that way gives it really cool look.
Here's another example of that:

I can't say for sure there's nothing in it, there's a lot unseen. Could be a small rodent living in there, you know?
The lighting's on point, the bounce-back lighting in particular's pushing a lot of physicality, real nice

Crics responds:

maybe there's something in it... curious and unknown...

[Swagaliscious]

Love the poppin' contrast and use of color in all your stuff, but this one scratches that itch rill hard

Thanosonnewgrounds responds:

Gracias mate 🫶🏾

[Skeleton Army Recruitment - Week 1]

Love the lighting on the magic-users, particularly bottom-right, lotta life in these poses too! Makes me wanna see them animated

WURMxFUD responds:

Thanks! It's a fun challenge trying to consistently show character/distinct design in such a common trope. Definitely would like to animate some of these, since they're just sitting right there...

[Elden Ring Rennala Boss Fight]

Pixel art fascinates me, in principle it's the same as any visual art form but in practice I feel like it's more in line with animation than people let on-- That being "the suggestion of xyz" rather than rendering it all in detail. Much like how in animation your lower framerate dictates how extreme smear frames are to convey the idea of movement, lower resolution dictates suggestion of higher detail elements like faces and whatnot, but I feel like the beauty is in the human element of it. Cos you can TOTALLY downscale an image to 128x128 pixels, posterize it to 3 colors to simulate older tech's limited pallets and dither it to hell, but it wouldn't carry the same feel.

Speaking of dithering! Love the choice to do it around the moon and sky, feels deliberate juxtaposed against the slightly blued tone in the characters' reflection on the water, could've gone the tonal shift route because we live in the future but it wouldn't have felt the same.

ALSO LOVE THE SUBJECT MATTER, 100%'d ELDEN RING, GORGEOUS BOSS FIGHT CHOICE, Would've gone with Malenia myself, then burned myself out on rendering the roots in the background and never finished the piece though.

Thisisgevorkart responds:

Thank you!
Yeah the reason why I love making pixel art is that you can be very limited on a color palette, no true sense of blending, and no organic lines and forms can be made compared to a traditional sense of making art. So with much restrictions you have is I think makes you play around with creativity a bit more. Plus it feels way more like eye-candy. I would have gone with Malenia, but i still haven't reached to that part yet, I'm currently in between the Capital Sewers part or the Radhan Boss Fight. Either I eventually would like to do all of it, or every moment in Soulsborne series.

[UNBORN]

Love it! Reminds me of Francis Bacon, but if it were pushed a few more notches into realism. It's always tough to tell with pieces like this if localized distortion in proportion are a product of the piece itself or if it's a mistake in proportion. Nonetheless, the collarbone area has something going on that bothers me a bit (Not in the good way the rest of the piece does)
But everything else about this is spot on! WEOOOH!!WEF
