Description Well I'm really starting to draw Jazz more lately ._. I'm trying to get his face right, in most pictures I have difficulty with how I imagine his face to be xD I can never get it right ;_;
This one was done because I opened up suggestions on my facebook and this was the first one 8D I was really in the mood to do a pin up style sort of thing to practice my anatomy (which still needs work) and since Jazz is quite muscular I tried to emphasize that.
I kept changing the canvas size cuz I kept messing with the composition hence the weird resolution xD I really tried skin/face detailing as well as a different style of lineart. If you've been keeping up with my livestream, I'm trying a new way to lineart since that seems to be one of my main problems. My works really weak because my lines are weak, so I've tried to improve that - I gave it softer lines instead of such hard black ones so hopefully it doesnt look as generically-cartoony. And i tried working into the tones of the fabric, as well as using a softer simpler technique for the wings rather than detailing each feather.
OKAY Jazz story time~ Jazz is actually the King of Atlantis. He inherited the throne from his father, who made a deal with Poseidon to protect Atlantis from human kind.
Jazz is descended from not only Poseidon due to the clause of the deal, but also Venus. Two gods falling in love does not make another god, it makes an archangel. And in turn, Jazz was born as an archangel, though this is unbeknown to him.

I'd like critique but please not on my anatomy, I know my anatomy sucks xD

I like the fact that you have attempted to put in a background in this piece. I think the background and nighttime pallete was a good choice. The composition is solid and well orchastrated and I like that you have allowed the clothing to be visible in the water. However I do feel that you need to work on your texture rendering, unfortunately the texture of the fabric wings and skin all look very similiar, so it would be wise to practise this. Also bear in mind that when dry fabric comes in contact with water it interacts differently at the surface and within the water- Perhaps some fabric drawing observation studies may sit you in good stead in the future.

Aside from that I like the choice of colours, I feel they work well andthere are approriate levels of tone too.Generally I like the piece and feel it works. Good job ^w^

First of all, I just want to thank you ever so much for leaving such a helpful, and well thought out critique! It really means a lot to me. I'll take everything you say into account, fabrics arent my forte but I sure as heck will work on them!!
Ahhh I forgot about how it looks when it comes out of the water, you're right, i really do need to do some studies on them.
<3 Thank you so so much, I'm glad you like the piece!

Ooops. I forgot critique.
The only thing I would suggest, are harder shadows on the trident maybe? Especially the fork. Or... whatever you call the pointy part. XD
But it's still really great!

FAVORITE PICTURE! D
Sexy man is sexy...

Your water is SUPER GOOD! I love the relfectrions, and the effect of the cloth under the water. AND HIS WINGS! His wings are really wonderful looking too. Their softeness is almost tangible. This coloring style is probably one of my favorites of yours. ^^
