I like this

i like the black and white, but i'd like to see some colors on it, at least the girl, since the minerals, im assuming, is her shadow, also this looks animesque which is another reason why i like it =D. The proportions on her is pretty good, seems accurate (for an anime character, i havent seen real girls with that kind of curves lol) ehem, o, i also like her pose, it looks natural and fluid, as in how she seems to be walkin. Not sure about the weapon shes carrying though, it looks like a blade without a hilt? and the butterfly seems to get in the way since its all in black and white, so i was wondering if it really was a butterfly or part of the sword, then it looks a bit like rena's cleaver (google it and you'll no what im sayin lol) anyways, i talk to much lol, this is awesome keep up the good work!

DeliciousOrange responds:

As stated above, part of the criteria for this illustration was that I could only use black and white ink. The stylization of the character is a bit of a nod to Oh Kyoung Seok's illustrative work (I've been watching his livestream quite a bit recently). Personally I would like to have included more detail in the butterfly to help set it off from the sword, but by the time I thought of the that it was already too late to make any major changes to the butterfly without muddying the black and white. The weapon is indeed based off of an unfinished blade I primarily wanted to focus on it's smooth sweeping motion to create more curvilinear forms of the right side of the illustration to contrast the rectilinear forms present on the left side.

pretty cool

FIRST! anyways, looks good, the guy looks proportional, i like the blue shade colors underneath him, the texture is also good, but whats with the hand? Is he holding his waist or trying to adjust his armor or sumtin?

FelixRJ responds:

He's adjusting some of his gear.

cool concept

background looks a bit too empty, the words, u couldve used somethin else lol, but the black mage lookin character is cool

Dawn-Breaker responds:

I intended to make the background empty and dull as its more of a character sheet than a complete picture.

But I suppose I could've used some more effort into the name bit but yeah I'm trying to keep the same style up with the other character sheets.

whoa

looks pretty realistic to me, itd be funy as hell if it was actually a photograph, then all those ppl who act like an artist criticizin this pic would look retarded, but then again, i guess parts of the furs like ears and his chin beard still has of the same color as the background so thats 1 reason for me to think its not a photo XD, nice job

ornery responds:

its definitely not a photo. It doesn't even remotely look like one. Silly.
