Nisaren's Art - New WIP - Updated - 2/10/13

[nisaren]

So I've been working on and off on this one-shot manga that I wrote last year. While it's still no where near complete, I do have clean lines done for the cover. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

[JJJorgie]

Wow, it's looks amazing! I'd suggest adding some weight to make each character stand out better.

[Demonfyre]

That does look really good also with what JJ said, you could also add a slight outline only a litle bit thicker than the line thickness you used over each individual in the picture, that should help to tell them apart from each other and make them stand out

@JJorgie Thank you for the suggestion. I'm planning on coloring it so we'll see how things are after the colors are down.

@Demonfyre I'll see about it after I put down some colors. But I definitely see both of your points.

Here's a sidetrack. About 2 months or so ago, I agreed to provide an art request as part of a contest prize on deviantart. I finally received the request yesterday and here's my ideas so far. I'm kind of leaning towards the bottom one right now.

Put them in sequence.

[Demonfyre]

Loving the way you made the armour shine and you drew the characters very well as always I think I would agree with you on choosing the bottom one, it just looks more interesting with the characters sort of interacting, but that's my opinion anyway

[nisaren]

@AlmanacnamedTime Eh? These are just poses I'm exploring to make a single painting - not a comic strip or anything.

@Demonfyre Thanks, for the comments. I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, it is the most dynamic of the poses. I sent the prize winner a message asking them to pick which they wanted. We'll see what they come back with.

[Demonfyre]

You're welcome, sorry I couldn't be more help :/ It will be interesting to see which one they pick :3

[nisaren]

So we ended up going with the bottom one after all. Here's the current progress of the painting. I think it's coming along pretty nicely.



Edit: Figured I'd just add an update to this post rather than double posting.

Looking awesome Nis glad they chose the bottom one, like demon said it has a much better story behind it and looks like they're interacting more. Can't really comment much as a. it's awesome and b. i suck at paintings/landscapes :P but my only suggestion would be to try and either bring the characters forwards more / push the tree behind them a bit further back with values, coz from the structure of the tree you can tell it's tree size, rather than a plant, but coz it looks very close to them, comparing their sizes it looks much smaller than it should be
