Ooooh, great poses and great texture. I love textures all the time, anyway, but this one looks great. The expressions are really good, and I love the way you rendered the attacks they are using. Awesome colours, too!
All in all, great piece. good luck in round one!

omg, chi, don't get my hopes up, hnggggg
thank you though, for the kind words ;w; and yes, i think imma keep using textures from now on... i really like how it came out o3o and i really want to try some more lineless, drawing the stones were pretty fun for a change from the usual plain shade and lines.
aww man... there are so many things i could have done different ;w; the shadow ball is too hidden, you can see it yes, but it should have been bigger or more awesome, or something... sob...
(i like the sky, haha....ha... )

But I must get your hopes up! Have faith, lovely one! You did a great job!
I haven't done much in the way of lineless art besides my paper chibis, but I always like the way it looks. In your piece, it really allows the characters to stand out against their environment, which is awesome.
And no sobbing! Having critiques of your work just means that next time, it'll be even better!
I also like the sky. It is super lovely!

Define what you mean by special effects?

Quco In reply to Leunbrund [2012-06-26 16:54:53 +0000 UTC]
well.
special effects like motion blur, better than what i did in this painting. better reflected lighting. i tried it here, but it didn't work so well. i rather like the protect Paya is using, but i want the Shadow Ball to stand out a bit more, and i find snow in general to be hard. the same with water. and for example making surfaces appear wet. o3o

Oh gosh, that's such a broad topic xD
Well, my specialties when I draw, or at least I think they are, are making things glow, drawing hair, and drawing water. I like these things. Making a surface appear wet, for instance, is largely a matter of specularity.
Specular highlights are like the white you put in eyes to make them appear shiny. Wet surfaces are surprisingly bright and reflective. Try studying black and white pictures of a wet sidewalk, or street; even black asphalt tends to appear white and reflective when soaked with rain. Most surfaces react similarly, with the exception of cloth, and earth, and other absorbent materials.

Leunbrund In reply to Quco [2012-06-30 02:01:33 +0000 UTC]
Usually that's achieved with a filter in photoshop, I am not sure how you'd do it with Sai. But Gaussian blur (google it) is a very common way of either bringing something out of focus, or something else into focus, if that makes sense!

Quco In reply to Leunbrund [2012-06-30 11:14:01 +0000 UTC]
mmhm.. i know about gussian blur. and box and motion and all the other weidly named ones. but i want only for spesific parts. which doesn't work too well....
