Artist's Comments

[Edit:] Since everybody keeps asking me, I decided to put up the link here: Dance of the Macabre [/Edit]

Fanart for the fanfic 'Dance of the Macabre' by ~kremesch. I've had it lying around since June...... it's finally finished!

This scene is when this Hojo-wannabe, Kurn, jams a power cell down Reno's throat, which reacts violently with the mako that's already in his system.

I thought it was so cute when she wrote Rufus fell asleep at his bedside - though I believe he himself waved it away or something.


Advanced Critique is welcome. (Somehow I think there's something missing, but I don't know what.)


[Edit 2:] Just in case someone decides to accuse me of art theft - since this picture is different in quality in comparison to the rest of my gallery - I used heavy reference from a photograph I myself took especially for this purpose, and asked two of my classmates to pose. It's 100% my own work and effort.[/Edit2]

This is a very nice drawing style. Very realistic and anatomically correct.

Maybe it is that the coloring should've been more realistic as well? It looks rather... well, 'simplistic' compared to the lineart...
That being said; I still think it looks really great and you should be proud of it!

:+fav:

Hmm, I guess you have a point there. Suppose I really need to work on my painting skills, it's hard.
:iconshadowwaker:
Maybe it also needs more structure. It's awefully smooth....
:iconkremesch73:
Depth of shadow and maybe not enough contrast, I think.
Otherwise, it has an overall quality that maintains its softness that I would imagine goes with the softer lighting of the evening, and there are no rules to interpretation.

Of course, I'm slightly biased because I'm flattered, and I love it anyway. I also like it when I can see the lineart underneath, as well. But that's just my taste.

P.S. His name was Kurn ;)
:iconlisty:
Awww... it's sweet! Great job on this.
:iconsaiyagirl85:
Well; that would make it more realistic... But I still think it looks pretty awesome the way it is now, too ^^;
I guess you can always experiment, though. You'll probably learn from it.
:iconshadowwaker:
I was close with Kurt, hahah.

Yeah, the contrast is part of the problem I guess. It was really difficult though, because the a lot of shadows wouldn't go any deeper anymore, and I'm afraid that if I put more light on them, they become really pale. And that would also kill the illusion of night-time... *shakes head* I don't know what to do with it. Part of me wants to redo it, but.... eh, it's a tedious job. Maybe later, hahah.

But! I'm glad you like it. :D

Hey, isn't this the one where Simon and I posed as ref?

By the way, it's Faithful, not Faithfull.

...sometimes I do it right, sometimes I don't. The English shouldn't be so confusing with their 'full' and 'ful'. >_>

And yeah, that's the one. *laughs*
