"Movie Poster"
Added 2024-04-20 07:28:06 +0000 UTCA very experimental presentation style! I was inspired by some of the really cool illustrations from Gundam Hathaway by Pablo Uchida, and so I wanted to try something along the same veins.
However, it was much, much harder than what I thought going in! Many aspects of the composition required both accuracy and insight while balancing choices in composition, pose and lighting. A thing I definitely still can't quite get down is Irena's pose (character on the left) even in this final version. I wanted her to be a little taller than Yin (right), but the perspective made that difficult. However, strong-arming it like I did here doesn't quite seem to be the right solution.
Her expression was also difficult to tackle too! To sum it up, I'm not quite satisfied with the result, but it was a great fault-finding exercise for myself! I would be happy to discuss this more in the process video coming soon :)
Thank you for your support! I'll try to finish one more character-based set of illustrations before the end of the month. Next month the plan is to head back into my more traditional cinematic sets once again!

2024-04-22 15:49:39 +0000 UTCThank you! Simple patterns can really hep quite a bit with detailing :)

2024-04-22 15:48:12 +0000 UTCOn a side note, I’ve been wondering for a long time what the other character’s name was 😭

2024-04-21 00:44:40 +0000 UTCSo Sick! Really love the movie poster composition. These ladies always give me Boondock Saints vibes. If only the saints were female crime fighting vigilantes in Hong Kong. Can't wait for the process video. Great work!

2024-04-20 18:01:48 +0000 UTCYes, that is exactly what I am doing. Maybe i explained my self a little bit wrong.... i just changed the colors, to their opposite.

2024-04-20 15:09:09 +0000 UTCI immediately thought to Pablo's work even before reading the source of your inspiration. I think you accomplished your mission even though you're being hard on yourself with Irena's pose.

2024-04-20 14:47:20 +0000 UTCThank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed that "poster" aspect! Still a lot to learn to make this style of presentation more convincing :)
GUWEIZ
2024-04-20 14:35:04 +0000 UTCThank you! That challenge sounds like a true nightmare! I can imagine that for light and some local colors, but it would be very challenging for certain elements to read accurately (especially with a strict requirement to invert everything). But extensively changing the color palette could be fun!
GUWEIZ
2024-04-20 14:34:12 +0000 UTCI'm glad you like it so much! It's just in a little bit on an awkward zone where she feels a little too tall but I can't shrink her either, and interesting dilemma :)
GUWEIZ
2024-04-20 14:32:14 +0000 UTCThank you!, it would be quite an interesting process to explain!
GUWEIZ
2024-04-20 14:30:39 +0000 UTCThank you for the very kind words, being able to improve definitely makes the challenge worth it! And indeed, it's wise to be able to take things in stride as well :)
GUWEIZ
2024-04-20 14:29:49 +0000 UTCIt's definitely a bit one the "cooler" side vs the more grungy tones I like the use most of the time! I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!

2024-04-20 14:28:17 +0000 UTCThank you!
GUWEIZ
2024-04-20 14:27:13 +0000 UTCI'm a Gundam fan, and I roughly understand the inspiration behind your creation, but I still have to marvel at the surprise this artwork brings me. It's like a captivating movie poster that grabs your attention. <3

2024-04-20 12:30:56 +0000 UTCAmazing work! Guweiz, have you ever thought of drawing your piece in an invert (so that the blue is red, green is purple, and so on)? I'm kind of trying to do it and is quite challenging.

2024-04-20 11:55:02 +0000 UTCand I think Irena looks taller!

2024-04-20 10:12:25 +0000 UTCwow, incredible painting! can't stop looking at it <3 and I think Irena looks taller :)

2024-04-20 10:11:54 +0000 UTCAwesome! Looking forward to seeing the process video!

2024-04-20 09:07:26 +0000 UTCIt looks amazing!! Thank you for sharing your troubles too. I keep forgetting that even for very skilled artists making art can be a difficult challenge. We all should be less hard on ourselves 🖤

2024-04-20 08:33:06 +0000 UTCI can feel more Sci-fi sense than the usual retro sense from the poster, the background makes me think of the poster of Star Wars and a game called Starfield, it gives me a deep impression like them, I love the cold ambience and the little red on the high-heels and hair cave, thanks for the amazing work!
