imagine updating 6 times a year pff not me
Anyway, last update 2020, so it's time for 👏 year 👏 review
HI Molnija SRY FOR TAKING AGES
Ok first of all, thank you for the english commentary, my brain is not up to date in german so this makes replying a lot easier hehe.
I feel so honored to have you comment on my art?? Ik what you mean, I usually don't comment stuff either, so this means a lot aaaah
So thank you for taking your time to write such a lovely and sweet comment, I really appreciate it!! I know I already sobbed onto your profile about it, but it makes me rly happy to hear that you enjoyed my update, so thank YOU AAAH fkjnvdnbldnbds
Okay imma try to properly reply now oop here we go:
The new '73rd Demon King' is elected.
OKAY OKAY I LOVE THIS ONE. what immediately gets me are the colours, they contrast between the overall reds & pinks and the purple & blue accents is SO neat to look at and makes my attention snap toward the important parts immediately. love the composition of this too; even without context I can tell shit's about to go down. with the winged guy (the demon king? he looks evil for sure) right in the center towering even above his throne which already towers above the other (protagonist??) guy makes him look super menacing and powerful. and then how small they are compared to the room as well as the room itself curving outward, the pillars and windows framing them, and the shadow guy 2 throws all the way back to the bottom of the image, it all gives it this amazing sense of scale that I absolutely adore. I also rly love all the edges and how messy yet sharp the lighing / shading is ... this is just super great to look at and I love it.
vj,vsjvl i dont know what to say to all of this, god, thank you so much?? I'm so happy you picked up on those details!! Especially the colors and the positioning of the characters in the scene. Ngl that drawing feels like a fever dream to me cause I drew it in like 5- 6 hours so I'm glad the outcome is decent aahh. I remember I had a ton of fun with the coloring and going wild with the scale, you rly nailed my thought process while working on it.
I think my favourite part's gotta be the background, overall. it's the perfect mix of messy and clean and gives the whole thing such a great atmosphere ... looks like the cover of a really cool graphic novel or something. in terms of how it uses shapes, it kinda makes me think of something like Promare ... though that may just be coincidence / also because of the vibrant colours idk
Yesss I love it when art is messy yet clean, like ,,, rough concept art!! That's my aesthetic and I actually tried to go for that look here so I'm rly happy that you recognized that aah. glsdvldkbl my heart is melting thank you!!
I've never heard of Promare before but I googled it just now and gjdsfdsk hmmm the design is delicious, I see what you mean with the shapes and lines, it's rly cool!!
yeah this one's great I love it
I love you
If I continue
this one's also great for completely different reasons. the atmosphere is so calm and peaceful yet slightly melancholic, guy 2 (that's guy 2 from the previous image right??) staring wistfully into the distance and then that caption ... but by far my favourite part is THAT SKY OH MY GOD. as someone who can't even draw a decent cloud for the life of her (my natural archenemy right next to trees), you really went above and beyond there. it's so SPARKLY and BEAUTIFUL, there's so much detail but not so much that it's hard to look at, it kinda makes me think of a snowglobe? like, a really pretty one. idk. it may be the particles. and of course the cloud's heckin amazing.
fjhbjkd THANK YOU imma cry fjdvksv idk how to process your compliments so have a heart: 💖
Dude that sky was the best sky I've ever drawn and idk how to get there again, sky career is over, never again will achieve those clouds. Also same with the trees, I despise them. WHO allowed them to exist. But what I despise even more is drawing grass vfjdkvfjksd and I love how you called me out on that one imma get to that now
if there's one thing I don't rly like as much though that may just be a stylistic choice in which case just ignore me, it's probably the grass. I feel like it's not thick enough and with how dark the individual blades they stand out a lot against the ground. looks kinda haphazardly thrown on there, in a way. but watch that be a stylistic feature of the original and me just not knowing it or maybe it's not but it's still on purpose and my opinion is utterly irrelevant!!! just wanted to mention it cause it kinda stood out to me
Honestly thank you so much for that criticism!! Don't worry about it, like nah fam, you right, the grass is WAY too dark. Idk how much it shows in the pictures so imma indulge you in some secret knowledge: I actually use greyscale to paint everything before slapping colors onto it, and now that I'm looking back on this, i DEFINITELY went wayyy to dark with the values when I drew the grass and never rly fixed it, so that's why it looks kinda cursed. Also, I have to admit ,,,, I ,,,, actually didn't put that much effort into the grass/foreground ,,,,, oop vgkdjlbdv this pic happened shortly after I stopped taking commissions and all the commissions I had until then always required me to draw trees and grass and god was I tired of that. 😂😂😭 I think I was hoping to cover up my lack of effort with the coloring later but it never rly worked out. So thank you for pointing that out to me, I legit needed that reminder fkedvjldf i get a bit sloppy/lazy with my art sometimes and then try to get away with it by hiding it with blur filters. 😂
alright that's it, I'm atrocious at commenting on anything, especially things I really really like, and I really really like your art. shoutout to the Eevee too, that water / the reflection in it makes me swoon //sobs. good stuff good stuff, you've got a way with backgrounds in particular, which automatically makes you more powerful than most artists I know including myself (though that's a given anyway, if I start comparing myself I'll definitely cry but WE DON'T DO THAT HERE, WE GROW AT OUR OWN PACE)
so yeah. probably not rly helpful. but if you see something neat you should say something, right ...
wvjnkgefds, THANK YOU SO MUCH I really really enjoyed reading your thoughts, especially now that some time has passed and I can approach my art from a different perspective by looking back on it half a year later. So don't talk down your comment cause that post watered my crops, cleared my skin and cured my depression.
ALSO THANK YOU for the eevee note vjdkbndld that pic definitely left doodle territory way too quick, unfortunately for my hands rip vfdjldj but I'm glad the effort payed off aaah 😭💖
Idk what to say anmore, my only possible reaction to your comment is spamming heart and sob emojis from now on, so i'm gonna end it here. Again, thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! 💖💕❤💞💖✨
» Cale vs The Electric Eel (TCF Fanart)
» Judgement (ORV Fanart)
» Sleepover (ORV Fanart/Secret Santa Gift)
Upper pic is actually not ORV fanart for once, but instead TCF (Trash of the Count's Family), another great webnovel with nice world building, dragons, magic, war criminals, found family, cunning bastard protagonists and lots of bashing the God of Death. A regular daily routine.
Funfact:
I kinda went of the rails with that one hmm. Might redraw that concept one day cause I wanna draw that baby dragon rly bad.
Concerning the bottom pics... No thoughts, head empty, only ORV
Uni hit hard and all I managed to draw during my free time was ORV fanart because the webtoon/webnovel is great and I will shove it down yall's throat and yell about it until my funeral
Both of these pics took my entire life span and god forbid I actually had to draw f a c e s. Disgusting.
I'm still not very practised in drawing people at all, but because the ORV train is still going and I refuse to get off, I forced myself to live with it. Only thing yall are allowed to zoom in on are the wings and maybe the blanket idk u choose.
and in case you're wondering why the pose in the left pic looks cursed, its because i never planned to have him hold a sword so the longer you look at it the worse it gets pls don't and move on thank you
»Art Summary 2020
To cut it short: first half of the year was drawing sad kitty commissions and the "I've been drawing this tree for 8 hours" experience. Then uni hit real hard midway through the year and the only thing I drew during July was a comic with some bootleg mysterious anime girl, which I have yet to post here whoopsie. Then August came and I refused to breathe for anything except ORV so that's it for 2020. Nothing else to see here.
Tbh I'm kinda surprised I actually drew people for once, especially since all I knew in January was drawing cat OCs. Guess that's the twist of 2020 for me. Dunno how the next year will go, except that's a lie cause I know uni projects are gonna escalate even more so the next update is probably gonna be in like 2080. Thanks for sticking around (does anyone read this??? idk) and following my updates, I rly appreciate it.
Also i just realized this post should be german but i left my german brain cells at home and tbh who has ever cared in this galery before (not me that's for sure) so yea post button goes brrr bye bye
