Kam and the Dark Dwarven smiths
Added 2016-08-19 05:28:54 +0000 UTCI've been working on three differing images this last week. This is one of them. A Pokebitch pic is the second. A picture of Cadence and Bel is another. All of them had experimental backgrounds (though I'm probably going to abandon the Cadence and Bel one). I don't know how to make scenery. I don't understand how people do it so comfortably and quickly. This pick and the Pokebitch pic are going to look very different. I think the Pokebitch one will be worse, but we'll see what you all think. This picture uses my normal style of drawing something, shading values, then adding colors with gradients. The Pokebitch one is more of a 'painting.'

This is stunning!
2016-08-19 13:24:32 +0000 UTCThanks. It just takes so long and is not intuitive for me :P

2016-08-19 11:27:04 +0000 UTCI like the way you do backgrounds and scenery, it is usually fairly minimal, but still has a smattering of detail and essential markers to set the scene for us, plus, I know you usually blur it because you are less than pleased with your skill in this area, but I think it actually works as a great design aesthetic, not only being unique to your art, but also as a way of highlighting that the sexcapdes happening front and center are the true focus of the piece, and the background is just scenery that is supplemental, but ultimately far less relevant than the main act

The agony of the constant debauched copulation must be unbearable; the number of Dark Dwarvish offspring that look just like their mommies, maybe just a bit taller and with vaguely more Human-like proportions, grows accordingly. Meanwhile, those adventurers who were not captured have to, you know, actually adventure. Work. Do things other than never-ending shadowy shortstack sexcapades.

2016-08-19 07:15:15 +0000 UTCYou're right. I mostly did the fuzzy thing because I thought it looked like crap and I was trying to cover it up.
2016-08-19 06:22:00 +0000 UTCI also like the background, Mark, as far as quality goes. I'm not sure the fuzzy background was the right way to go though; normally fuzz is for things that are far away or out of focus. With how smooth the characters are it makes them look kind of like they were copy pasted into the picture. I still like it overall however, the dwarves are some fine ladies.
