Lady Ypsilenna of Gloomvale, a cartoon villain. Perhaps evil, but just a little? #art#gaming#writing
@soy1bonus Yes, the decks are amazing! I also like Paladins because the smaller budget vibe makes it feel way more chill and cozy to me. Overwatch is very polished, and I always feel like the people in there are very serious, so if I make a mistake, I usually feel very bad about it. In Paladins, I do not beat myself up so much because it's a quirky niche game compared to Overwatch. I also really like some designs, like the mermaid skin for Ying I posted recently. It's so pretty! It also seems like Paladins has a bigger selection of support characters, which is awesome to me because I mainly like to heal in this kind of games :agummyattentioncat:
I noticed that many artists are doing the evil art style challenge and I wanted to try it too. I tried it on this artwork from 2022. The left side is my main style and the right side is the opposite.
I haven't really drawn anything without contours or close to realism for about 10 years (And I am not a big fan of grayscale), so I was a bit rusty, but I hope I did well.
This style:
-No colors or contours
-Semirealism
-Fully rendered soft shaded character
-The neck is thicker than her wrist (lol)
I forgot if stalagmites were the ones that were on the top or the bottom of the cave. I tried recalling what they taught us in school and all I can remember is that I had a problem telling them apart, so I just wrote "stalagmitotites" in my notebook to describe both and called it a day. Very... useful memory.
@ferricoxide Ah right, that is a good way of remembering. Somehow I never heard of it because I learned about stalactites and stalagmites in my mother tongue, and we don't seem to have anything like that. :jelpeek:
I can't stop thinking about one thing lately. I used to be long time friend with a person whose questionable ways of treating other artists and art as whole, and I never realized how much it affected me and my own creations till now. I am lucky to have such a supportive partner now, talking to him made me realize how much of a problem it was and helped me improve myself.
It makes me kinda sad though when I think that maybe I wouldn't burn myself out so much as a comic artist and wouldn't quit my projects if I focused on mental self-care sooner instead of surrounding myself with people who had such a negative impact on it.
I guess all I can do now is to keep working on myself, and maybe one day I will be able to either return to comics or focus enough to keep working on my illustrated novels. One way or another, there is a long way ahead of me, and I hope to create something good by the end of it.
