Description
[full view please]
[finally] I told you guys I was working on something. :3 And here it is!
[perspective] This picture started as a sketch of Kite drawn from a slight worm’s eye view… and I think I executed it all right. Like, there are still many errors with it, but it doesn’t look too bad. I had no idea how I was supposed to incorporate a ground in this image, so I left it out all together…
[detail shots] I was an idiot and resized the image completely before I got to crop parts. So, for what it’s worth, here are
[tools] In the process: printer paper, tracing paper, 0.7 lead pencil, Painter IX.5.
[time] Much too long… on and off for about two or three weeks.
[credits] Kite, Blackrose, Aura and Skeith are all characters of the .hack//series © Bandai.

I like this! But Kite's butt looks so funny. XD I'm sorry. I'm not used to looking at that perspective.
Since this is advance critique...
Aura should prolly be tilted to be aligned with the perspective and the staff-thingar. Her DEAD CENTER makes the composition kinda woah.
Just a random person stoppin' by. Again, I really like this.

No, I TOTALLY know what you mean about his butt. I had a hard time trying to shade it... Ah well, I can only improve right? :3 It was a shot at perspective.
Yes! Critique! Ooh I love you! : D
Yeah, Aura was a toughie as well -- especially considering the fact that whenever we see her floating, her dress looks like fog. I didn't know how I'd draw it beneath, in maintaining her actual look. But still something to keep in mind -- thanks!
Not quite sure what you meant by the "kinda woah" bit, but that's okay. :3 I'm grateful for the critiques I understood. : D
Thank you, random person! : D

I FREAKING LOVE THESE GAMES. Omfg. The first set>G.U. in my opinion.
Lessee...Since you've got your comment setting on Advanced Critique, I'll try to be as helpful as possible. Kite's legs seem rather short, and from the low angle we're viewing him from, more of the bottoms of his feet should be shown and less of his heels. BlackRose's head is nicely drawn; it's neat to see her facial features done in a different style from her very anime-ish look in the games. It does look to be a bit large for her body, though.
Nitpickery aside, this is a super-nifty piece of work.

Is GU not that good? D: I need to get around to getting it... I mean... you get to become a PKK! : D Hahaha... but the first set is awesome.
You're not the first to say his legs look short. You know, I had/have no idea how to draw from this angle, so I just kind of guessed to what looked all right... but yes, definitely less of his heels.
I'm trying to incorporate realism into my artwork, just because I think it develops a style, is different and isn't always so childish. I can get to illustrating more serious pictures and have them actually shock people, you know? :3
Kite was loads of fun to color [the whole picture was, actually], except for his weapons and such. Just hate those. But thank you so much for the comment, and, most of all, your critique! : D Made my day.

Oh, G.U. is fantastic. Just... I liked the story in the original games better. And it felt like you had a lot more freedom in them, too. G.U. does have more to do in terms of activities, though; and the battle system is more fun. (Plus, remember the forums? You can post responses in those now

xD Dude, that's hilarious...
I always beat a game before I buy a new one. Just kind of something I go by. :3 So I make sure I finish it.

Yay, new stuff from you. I have no idea about advanced critique and all that jazz, nor do I have any idea about what this is of/about, what I do know is that it's damn cool. :3

Haha... oooh yeah... I should have probably put that in the description. But it's kind of long enough...
Well, Skeith [the dude up in the top right corner] is about to data drain [delete] the girl in the middle. The World is an online MMORPG... and I don't know what it stands for. :3 The other two characters, Kite - boy with green hair - and Blackrose - girl with pink hair - are two players of the game.
Video game for PS2... loads of fun, I think. :3
But... yes. Yay, new stuff from me. : D

MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game. My favorite gaming genre. :3
Anyways, thanks for the description. It kinda helped me to understand this piece. : D

Ohooo... yeah it sounds like loads of fun...
Awesome.

superb coloring and a really well-composed scene. Legs do look short but you can easy fix that by not showing the soles of his boots :nods:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now I'm being told not to show the bottom of the boots? Haha... boy am I confused. Could I still pull worm's eye view off by not showing the soles of his boots?
But thank you! I kind of like the layout of the scene, too. : D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, because if you were a worm standing on the same ground as the dude is, you wouldn't see that much sole, unless your squashed by it XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, but I don't want to BE the worm, I just want to be able to see from right beneath him at a sort of angle... if that makes sense...
In other words, I want his soles to be visible. :3 Like he's standing on glass and I'm viewing from beneath.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
then maybe you should try drawing the soles a bit differently, they seem to not match the rest of the perspective,which I must say is particularly well-achieved
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, awesome. I'll work on soles of shoes. :3 Glad the rest of it worked out all right.

I love Aura's hair~ The way you decided not to outline all of it makes it contrast really well with the background.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're right, I should have shown more of the soles of his shoes... hmmm. Haha, "wormy." Cute. :3
You like it partially outlined? xD Oooh... the contrast in critiques. Hit or miss, I guess. Thank you for your crits/comments! : D
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Your worm's eye view of Kite did turn out okay. ^^ As for ground, I would probably just brush on some really long/big blades of grass...but then again, you may not intend for grass to be in this scene.
Aura's hair kind of looks odd to me...I know it's supposed to be glowing, but the outline of her bangs kind of spoils that effect.
Nice job on the clouds~ I find it really neat how you can draw actual noses and lips. 8D Whenever I try, the whole face becomes really ugly. xD;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's supposed to be like hard rock they're on. :3 Like, everything is dead and cracky. I should've added rocks in the background... but I wouldn't know how to show them.
Yeah, I was having trouble with whether to keep the outline of her hair in. I erased some of it, but kept the bangs part there...
I love coloring in lips and noses! : D It's SO much fun!
Thank you for your crits and comments! [crits especially
