Tomomi Shimizu - Redesign

I am struggling so hard with this lad's design... he's a little crab themed, but I don't want to lean into that too much since it would be hard to mesh with his main theme, candy. I'd like for the oranges, pink-ish red, and purple to stay, but feel free to change up literally everything as long as he looks either cute or hot. Or both. His current deal is that he lived in an under-water isolationist society that's kind of japan inspired (though not very) which often uses a candy called 'karmel" as fuel for their magic. Tomomi here has the special power to conjure up karmel on a whim, so he's a sweet boy in a literal sense. He was basically kidnapped and tossed into a colosseum meat-grinder for farming EXP, hence the many scars... despite this he's usually a friendly face, being the chiller half of his comedy duo I can't elaborate on lest I make this explanation too long. He's insane, but he's insane in a fun way, y'know? Ignore the masochism. So, as you folks can tell, this whole backstory is REALLY hard to implement in tandem with his themes! I'm struggling!! I'm dying in here!!! Save me, more experienced artists!!!!

Undecided

So, I was too deep in to go back to perspective Im just cheat and render it out. Sorry Fosco - When I start the next one im gonna really lean into the horizon line and vanish points. Try get some feedback on it early when its still sketch phase.

24-26

Still a looooong way to go but nice to see the distance covered so far :)

OPTIC BLAST!

Cyclops from x-men! uuuhhh i started with the silhouette first (kind of a sloppy move on my part). Actually, this whole drawing is pretty much based on my intuition, so yeah, the proportions and everything under the visor are gonna be pretty inconsistent, especially considering the angle. Didn't do too bad on the hair and line variation, tho. Oh yea, and there's a face from imagination on the bottom right. Also, have y'all read the remastered x-men manga yet. Im enjoying it so far. Thanks for the feedback!

I got some feedback in a Discord server, but it’s not here. Since im treating this website as a kind of journal, ill upload. I worked on the material separation, render of the face and tried to make the metal armor more beliavable. I think it’s a good improvement. Still, it could allways be better.

Sleepy Hoarder

1. Definitely struggled with the back feet being hidden but still managing to draw convincible forms. 2. Even with the perspective grid I think I did a poor job of nailing that yawning snout - referred to yawning lions for reference. The other entries are fantastic!

please show me what i can improve

im very open minded and really want some criticism on basically anything :)

concept art For Rushinda

Struggling with the kimono for the adult version for her as I want it to be more combat but also be something you can wear to fancy events. Also want it fit her character more be something unique & memorable.

my first ych i opened, but it feels a little flat?

i feel like there’s not a lot of contrast, idkkk
