Description Art Trade #8, theme Group
For:
Characters: Levi, Miol, Karaya, Mya and Ziya, and Daithi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
She had only asked for four of the people in this picture, but it ended up like this. xD I knew I wanted to do this sort of poster look with Daithi as the pivotal character in the centre, I thought hard about the layout when I came across this looking for references. It was then I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I love the way this came out~~~ (Myaaaaaa <3)
It's great---we both finished our pictures at pretty much the EXACT same time. xD

The composition and transitions are amazing. The colors look balanced and soft on the eyes. I also wish I had the time and patience to color my sketches. Thanks for the inspiration :favlove:

CrystalCurtisArt [2010-01-28 16:35:47 +0000 UTC]

Oh man! I love the composition you used! I've always wanted to do one of these compilations featuring large portraits/full bodies or whatever like I see in comics/anime/posters and everything. but I've never had the guts to officially try! xD (That misfits thing is the closest I've come, and it's not exactly the same.) Anyway, I'm rambling! I really love how you used the different seasons in the backgrounds of the characters like that, and the colors you used are really wonderful! And so clever how you separated everything using the scythe! Really awesome work~~

I love doing poster type drawings, sadly I don't get good inspiration for them too much. It's the best thing ever when you have an idea, but trying to force it...it just doesn't work.
Thanks again!

TheLostRealist [2010-01-27 01:43:40 +0000 UTC]

I really love the overall composition of this, as well as the colours. The middle character looks really good but it seems weird that his one foot is cut off to me for some reason.. However it was a great way to add separations for each season! Great job!

Makio-Kuta In reply to TheLostRealist [2010-02-01 16:03:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah...why did I cut that foot off. Probably because drawing feet scares me. *horrible coward's reason* lol

Very beautiful. The etching on the scythe is love. >.< V I don't know who the chars are but you can tell a lot about them just by this art. D: My only crit would be that the lil critter in the winter picture could use a bit more work--the quality of it doesn't match the rest of the peeps.

Bewinged [2010-01-25 01:05:20 +0000 UTC]

Very pretty. I like the smidges of scenery in the background. The winter tree turned out especially nice. Daithi's pose is great. Can't think of much critique-y. Maybe Spring-girl's head is a bit too narrow, and the face on the rabbit/fox is pointed down and so the eyes should be lower. Very pretty piece!

Makio-Kuta In reply to Bewinged [2010-02-01 16:01:18 +0000 UTC]

Animals are without doubt, my weak point. xD But it seemed wrong to not draw little Ziya. Thanks for the tip~
I agree about the spring-girl, she gave me a fight from start to finish. It was actually quite a bit more narrow at first o.o Yikes. lol Thanks for the comments and crits~

Alystar [2010-01-24 15:09:15 +0000 UTC]

Ooooo so awesomes. I really love the top two characters.. the warm autumny colours and the cool greens mixed into the hair n skin.. very nice, and the shading on the hair n skin is fantastic as always. I like autumn guy's necklace as well lol. Backgrounds are love.

Mya looks very cool in her surroundings.. er, no pun intended. On the crit side of things, she has a bit of the squishy head and her hairline could go back a bit further. That's all I can really think to crit. xD;

On a final note, pose of the guy in the middle came out great and I fucking love his scythe.. especially the colours in the outer bit. Just faking COOL.

Makio-Kuta In reply to Alystar [2010-02-01 15:59:10 +0000 UTC]

I'm still more bothered by the blonde chicks head. I did try fixing Mya's a little, but it was fighting me and staring to look worse, so opted for just one little change instead. lol

Backgrounds~ When I want to do them, they're fun. xD Thanks for the comments!
