Description
To get the full effect, PLEASE play this song: [link] . If you can't stand it, at the very least please let it play through the chorus.PLEASE COMMENT! I normally don't beg for feedback, but this is is a very important piece to me and I would really really appreciate hearing your guys' thoughts, reactions, critiques, etc. It doesn't even have to be a long one. Please and thank you
;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been working on this picture....until 3 in the morning every day the past week. It wasn't NEARLY as hard as Crystall Ball , but I am honestly much, much happier with the results.
Crystal Ball was a tender, calm picture, whereas this one is MUCH more intense, and I honestly feel like I'm the only one who can really...feel this picture the way I want, because of how well I know Blake XD;; I hope that's not arrogant...
Anyway, I'm really really happy with how this came out...like REALLY. I might post another WIP gif of this one like I did with CB, but it might not be as impressive. I didn't include her pip-boy because I felt it would sour the image somehow...I'll try explaining it later when I'm not nodding off as I type @_@
I might look at it tomorrow and regret posting it too early, but I guess that's a problem for Future Me.
A HUUUUGE thanks to:
AGAIN for helping me so much XD;;
and to for giving me an EXCELLENT critique early on...I was kind of upset because I had to pretty much redo the entire lineart, but it was TOTALLY worth it and I am very very glad I did. So thank you very much XD Also to for keeping my motivation up, and of course to whom without, this wouldn't have happened XD He showed me the song. AND TO who also helped me with getting the lineart correct
;I think that's all for now...I'm gonna go pass out, and look forward to a full inbox when I wake up XPPP

Beautiful use of color! The gradation in the background engages the negative space. Love how the green glow is carried through out the piece. Shading is impeccable. The use of perceptive is believable and adds drama to the entire piece.
Only docked for technique because I think the parts way he fades away could be done more gradually, or maybe in a different manner. I say this because since his flesh dissipates, his black line should do something similar. Also, the background is beautiful, but it feels empty somehow. Like, maybe add touches of a horizon line somewhere?
Overall excellent piece, and a beautiful milestone in your artistic journey.

(it's actually a girl XD; but understandable mistake)
Thank you so much!! I totally agree with you about the sky & background. I thought it seemed a little empty, but I was told it worked for the piece so I just left it XD I don't quite understand what you mean by 'touches of a horizon', but otherwise yes, same page XD
Thank you so so so much!! That first paragraph made me squee the whole way through XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! Girl! I'm so sorry, I meant to fix that in my other one too
Oh, what I meant by 'touches of a horizon line' was a line somewhere in the background to show where the ground meets the sky. Or maybe a cityscape, stuff like that.

Oooh. Well, the wasteland is a pretty rocky, empty terrain, so I didn't want to put too much, y'know? XD

XD AGH, i do know. that's always the tough part for me with art is when to stop!

Totally! Btw, did you get my message about your other critique?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! It's fine as long as you get a good critique!

No worries! And thank you AGAIN XD

Thanks!! It's based off of my character from Fallout, so you're right on target~!

anyone else look at this and think Bruce Banner?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If they have, they haven't told me! As far as I know, you're the first! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's just the radiation and suicide attempt
i can see Bruce slitting his wrists only for bright green blood to pour out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Err, well it's not really a suicide attempt. Just an artistic display of the metaphorical relevance between the character and the song.

oh.....my bad, i just looked through your Blake art and she seemed to be able to fall that low sometimes
my apologize
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No need to apologize! You're actually correct in that she's definitely had those low moments a few times throughout her story, this just was not one of them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah fair
my Lone Wanderer just drinks and sleeps around when she hits low points, whilst Blake keeps a distance from people Zaria clings to any contact she can get
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, there's plenty of drinking XD sometimes she sleeps w/someone for different reasons, but it's mostly to fulfill some kind of need or another, rather than to get close...XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i can imagine Blake meeting Zaria
the next morning she'd wake up shocked next to my Wanderer
if she ever went that way XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Unfortunately not, not even experimentation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
which would lead to the shock of 'oh shit i actually did that' XP
in all seriousness though i can tell Blake's not the type
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha XD Maybe if she got drunk enough...but then she'd get to the removal of the pants and be all "O_o????? This is not what I ordered."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
would love to see my Zaria in your style, i don't have drawing skills of my own so she only exists in my game and mind
that wasn't a request though, i learned my lesson about that a while back
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, that sounds like a scary story...
(Also, I am open for commissions! X3 )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i'd ask for one if i had expendable money or points (whatever the currency on here is) :S
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, fair enough XD Well, what happened with your first request?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when i first started on here i was a bit of an idiot and was prone to spamming my favourite artists with subtle hints of my own characters especially if they had already done one of my requests before
as i said, i have learned my lesson and i don't do that anymore
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh, yeah, rookie mistake
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i wasn't all "draw this! draw that! please! please! please!"
though looking back at old comments i can't help but remember being the annoying fan all artists dread having

Awe XD Well, each person is different. Again, I'm sure you weren't as bad as you think.

that one song by Imagine Dragons is playing in my head right now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Excellent! Since that is the song that I asked people to listen to while they view this picture, as it is what inspired it XD

Gotta love the smell of gamma rays in the morning

I just KNEW I wasn't the only one that thought Imagine Dragons "Radioactive" sound like Fallout! But honestly it sounds a LOT more like FO3.
Really the only thing I'm iffy about, is the sand right at her right elbow. It just seems as if it just cuts off a little to soon... but other than that 10/10!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cheers!
Thanks so much! Yeah, the sand was admittedly pretty half assed, and I think I could have done a better job if I had decided to go without lineart. Some days I go back to see if I can remove the lineart and touch it up a bit, but there's SO much to fix without it I just get immediately demotivated XD
But still, thanks very much!!

No seriously I don't think I made this clear enough with my previous comment. This is FUCKING AWESOME and you should feel FUCKING AWESOME for it.
Also goes well with this and this , I think. The second one is, to my knowledge, supposed to be from the perspective of a fetus whose mother is dying of radiation poisoning from nuclear fallout. It's... kind of horrifying, actually. Not as hard-core as Imagine Dragons though, certainly. I used to have a playlist that was nothing but songs about nuclear holocaust. >__>

WAAAHHHH Q____________________________Q OH MY GOD DUDE YOU JUST MADE MY LIFE. DKHFJKDHGKFJKAFKDS 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seriously, reading that my toes curled and I actually legitimately squeed. AJKSAGFDSJHSFD THANK YOU SO MUUCCCCHHH Q____Q
As for the songs, I really really like the first one...a couple other people have showed me songs they think go with this picture, but yours is definitely the best so far. I love the sound, I love the lyrics...I have a specific playlist just for this character, and that song is going on it XD As for the second, I like the lyrics but the singing style just isn't my flavor, y'know?
Always a pleasure to make someone else's day.
I totally understand on the Kate Bush song. She isn't really my style either, that's the only song of her's I enjoy and only because of the subject/lyrics. Hmm.... now I wonder if anyone has made a harder cover of it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Believe me, the pleasure was all mine!!
Were that the case, I'd be a lot more interested XD

Okay so this has to be one of my fav Fallout fanart pics ever. It just pretty much perfectly portrays that post-apocalyptic feel, with the dark background and gun and Blake being all bruised and fucked up... and the expression, holy shit. I demand more quality art like this, fav'd + watched. YOU BETTER KEEP PUTTING UP STUFF LIKE THIS.

"one of my fav Fallout fanart pics ever" 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dude you have no idea, that sentence made my heart stop for a couple seconds XDD That is such an amazing compliment!! 
AGH OH MY GOD PRESSURE Q__Q I WILL TRYYY
Ahm...It's not exactly the same quality, but just in case you might be interested, no pressure if you're not (and I really wouldn't blame you), but I am working on a comic with Blake
Thank you so much for all your kind comments Q_Q They really, really made my day.
I'm addicted to the song ok. Me 'n my best bro walk around the school and sing that shit all day long.
IT'S THAT COOL.

It's in the water...
It's in the story
It's where you came from
The sons and daughters
In all their glory
It's gonna shape them
And when they clash
And come together
And start rising
Just drink the water
Where you came from...
Where you came from
