Description Background's rather lacking, and so's the foreground come to think of it. I'm super-stagnating over here, and this "one picture a fortnight" thing isn't helping.

Moving on!

I've been dwelling a lot on parenthood lately, and, given the subject matter I'm usually drawing it doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense that I never draw people actually being parents.

Even less so considering how much of a squealing fanboy I am for adorable families.

So, uh, a possible future for Sera and Reiyu in the game ~BlackWaltz0 and myself are making! Reiyu is one of the two suitors for Sera (excluding the player, that is) so this is in no way the 'official plotline'. More like "an" official plotline.

It's hard to say specifically which future I prefer, since the other suitor is BW and that's just kinda hot, but with Reiyu it's easier to imagine a typical kind of romance since he's a very generic-main-hero-type guy (albeit stuck as a non-main character) and lord knows how much I love mediocre fanfic romance.


All of this is actually *HidonRedux 's for once! My characters! My (joint) world! Holy shit!



EDIT: I don't really expect anyone to actually BUY this. I just felt like testing out the print functions on this rare occasion of me drawing something original.

It is nice to see a drawing like this once in a while, one that celebrates the joy of parenthood and the way it brings loving couples together. Here we have a lovely young couple adoring their precious bundle of joy on a leisurely walk in the park. A very romantic, yet realistic, scenario.

The first thing I noticed while critiquing was the way the background seems to clash with the foreground characters, at least as I see it. The curving pathway would imply that the two of them are walking down the path, but their poses would imply as if they have stopped in the middle. It looks a little bit like they are posing in front of a backdrop.

The anatomy on the characters is very well done, particularly the way Sera is holding her child in her loving arms and the way he is lovingly clinging to her. As always, you're very good at drawing complex poses, hands and fingers, which are things a lot of artists struggle with.

Your clear distinction of the various differences between male and female body types really shows here as well. Sera looks very lean, yet feminine, with all the curves in all the right places. Reiyu is drawn very skillfully as well, though the neck seems maybe a bit long.

I'm assuming the child is a young boy as he's quite well dressed for his age, but if he's a baby, you may want to work on making him look a little younger; round out and shorten his features, for example.

You've done a fine job here. All you really need to do is find a way to blend the background into the foreground a little better, and you're well on your way to great things.

Looks pretty darn good to me, and I hope someday that you and your wife will have this joy.

Well, it IS pretty damn good! You've greatly improved to be sure. Also, I actually LIKE the background as well; it really gives off this air of serenity.
