Matt's Art (p34: Hey, I finished something!)

[Matt]

Uguu.

Updated, added lines.

Not sure if it's because it's still a work in progress, but you should definately work a lot more on the background. Try and use to refs and try to mimic the textures you see, like for the trees and the clouds. Looking interesting so far though, keep working at it!

Aw man now I'll never have a chance of winning!
Something about her face is really charming, mabye it's the eyes, it seems as if they're smiling as well!
The hair is also done really good, and the background looks simple but great. I'm digging this.

[Matt]

@Toast - I'm working on the background as I type. I'm not sure how detailed I want it, but you're right: it's way too rough as it stands.

@Shnorkel - First of all, I like your username. Secondly, I have no idea what individual elements make her face look the way it does. The eyes look happy because the bottom lashes are arched slightly upward. The charming aspect--I dunno how I did that. I'll figure it out eventually.

EDIT: Oekaki pic. Naomi:

I guess I'll go ahead and double post.

Saimoe entry, complete with my excuse for an expression chart.


I think it was Reg who gave me the idea of making the expression chart more than a bunch of expressions.

On GB, Raz pointed out that Kasey as a character isn't really moe. In the initial picture, sure, but with the bio and story, she's not really a moe character at all. I'll fix that next season. Till then, I'll just see if she gets any votes.

hi, that's nice! It's cute! It's almost the same pose as I planned for my 2nd entry xD Good thing I didn't make that then, aye?

I will wait on posting mine official until the deadline. Just in case :P

Nicely expression chart.

[ScarletHue]

Ah pretty cool, I like the way you drew her hair in the big picture.

@Eltoroguaco - I don't think having the same pose as another competitor would lower either of our chances of winning unless it was blatant tracing.
@Ram and Scarlet - Thanks.

Here's a couple comics, since I haven't done this sort of thing in awhile. Pending title is Siren Song, and it's what I draw to procrastinate on my novel. The comic and the novel are in the same universe, so at least I can worldbuild while I procrastinate.

The text if you can't read it:

SPOILER! :

p1
Illyana: Hey, Siren... I was wondering...
Siren: About what?
Illyana: Why do angels' ears face downwards?
Siren: Oh...

p2
Siren: It lets us hear what's going on under us when we're flying, I'd assume.
Siren: Now, why do your ears face forwards?

p3
Siren: If every race is designed to be functional with no useless elements, how do forwards-facing ears contribute to a dryad's design?
Illyana: What if your ears face down to symbolize you angels never listen, and the rest of the fay are open to discussion?

p4
Illyana: If you have any objections, I'm all ears.
Siren: I wish you would point out my flaws before you get the chance to work them into a pun.

The text if you can't read it:

SPOILER! :

p1
Illyana: Siren! I have a question!
Siren: Do you now?

p2
Illyana: You're technically fay with fiend fangs, right?
Siren: Yup.
Illyana: What do fay taste like?

p3
Illyana: Or are blood angels more fay than fiend?
Illyana: Or do you not even know?
Illyana: Or do you--

p4
Siren: Nom.
Illyana: --Fyaah!

p5
Illyana: Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Off. Off. Off. Off. Off.
Illyana: You are invading my personal bubble.

p6
Illyana: You're tearing a muscle!
Siren: Where?

p7
Illyana: What if you hit an artery? You could have killed me! What if my--

p8
Illyana: I do so have muscle!
Siren: Nope.

Doesn't matter cause I never got time to make 2 entries anyway :P
