February '22 Monthly #2: Elysium (Sketch-Flats SD)
Added 2022-03-12 06:28:50 +0000 UTCColored sketch WIPs of Elysium!
It's something I started to notice 'cuz of how frequently I get submissions for Dragalia Lost for polls, gacha-planned (and it feels like 90% of DL's dragons) designs are all kinda overdesigned lol, but I get it, not going crazy makes them not as attractive to sell via microtransactions, but then you immediately also know they're not planned for repeated drawings so it's (mostly) one-and-done and then let 3D animation handle the rest of the grunt work later. (Granted his is also deliberate for primarily 3D intended games altogether if you pay attention; example, Monster Hunter designs would never traditionally be what they are if they weren't meant for 3D, it'd kill the artists lol)
Anyways, just something observed 'cuz whenever I see submissions I ask myself what I'd do with each and realize especially gacha-sourced ones leave a lot of limitation without researching and puzzling the models.
(none of this is saying I think they look bad, it's just me noting that these shits are hard to draw and I find value in communicating creator experience when I think hard enough, lol)
