Description Edit 3/24/2012 - It's done now......I think > >. I feel like it's not as finalized as it could be, but not really sure what else I can do at my skill level. good practice doing this though. sketching out a scene like this aint that bad, but finalizing stuff...man, was I not prepared for that here

it might be too dark, but the battle was around sunset, night ish, so tried to do that a bit


don't entirely remember if you could get 2 different force spells yet, but yeah, joe's use force dance and Hero is using zan.

I don't like how the speed lines around the merak bombs turned out, but eh, I'll learn from it for next time


the process




still haven't finished the game (on the last day). so no one spoil anything


gosh, I really wasn't ready for the kind of work this sketch entailed. this was quite the challenge, but good practice. got to practice more incorporating texture, some effects on lighting and such, layering shade layers, etc.

overall fun project, though I don't think I did the sketch enough justice with this final piece.

textures I used credited here
Gold Mosiac Tile Texture [link]
Tile Texture: [link]
vending machine: [link]
Japanese sign: [link]

some I actually forgot where I got, so yeah, I credited what I remembered, and hope I didn't violate any copyright whatevers, not totally used to the copyrights and rights for textures since I don't use them much

_____________________________


oh boy, it's a devil survivor 2 fan art, and by far my most elaborate scene.


didn't include 2 demons for every team as then that'd take WAY too much space and be too busy, so just the characters vs the 2nd spententrion Merak. [link]

I'm still mid way through the game, so no one spoil it for me or anything, but so far I thought this boss design was by far the coolest. love how the merak missile bomb things shot out, and the sun fish like shape is rather interesting. I think Merak turned out a bit small here scale wise and the bottom fin too short, but overall I'm rather liking the sketch layout so far


the lines and colors are all going to be fine tuned and improved, this is just a composition layout, and finalizing this will probably take quite a while. so until then, enjoy the sketch

really loving the perspective and overall posing here, now just got to step up and get serious about finalizing and thoroughly doing the details

oh yeah, none of em you could really tell what they were based off of >3<

and for sure, I definitely thought the music was a step up in this game than in the first one

You are REALLY getting better. Look at the people, the perspective, the coloring! Including the textures was a good choice.

Don't worry, I won't spoil you anything, I haven't played the game xD

lol, I doubt many have, just saying that just in case XD

You really succeeded!!! It's so difficult to do perspective with lots of people and you did so well!

Did you finish the game? xD

heh, I know what you mean, I hated how fast and far they could move, and all they did was guard making them take more than a turn to kill em most of the time (DX)

and heh, thanks
