Yilx first place artist

Her fire gown looks more detailed now.

I too don't get much time to draw these days with stuff like full time school. D:

It's awesome you got a job that makes use of your best abilities.

Real nice! I like the use of warm colors and the variety they create despite being a narrow selection, particularly how you used purple as shade.

also how long did that take
 
Dat sky and body shading. I only draw the former as white blobs and the latter as cel shaded masses. I should get around changing that. I also like the wam sunset lighting in your latest image, it certainly makes the view less dull.

As for nitpicks, the buff girl could have her head located slightly to her right, doesn't feel like it's in the middle of her shoulders (and thus gave me the impression that there's a billboard image in front of her). And as for the female giant, the way her body leans doesn't look right to me, particularly her right arm and the straight trail from her belly button. I'm no women specialist, but maybe you should doublecheck it.

also maybe you should NSWF that in hide tags .///.

Awesome poke cap designs and giant woman. I have no critiques to give as I dislike judging/critiquing others, especially people more skilled than me.

Speaking of which, is is true you start greyscale first and then put the colors in or was that graying part of the PS glitch that also left the clean cut rectangles. {Rectangles being cut out of my artwork has happened to me when saving went wrong, and oversaturation bands that took out entire segments as well.

And now back to the artwork, if that bee poke was in game already, I'd put it on my team. Speaking of which, is is Bug/Psychic? I don't think theres a bug/psychic in game.

Doing it in black/white first helps me lay down the values and get better colours

You really nailed the soft skin tone lighting on that drawing/ The amount of detail you put into the background is just.. wow.

A tutorial would be much appreciated some time... *hint hint*
 
Yilx: Ah I see. I figured it might be that, and ended up improving. Thanks for letting us know some of your methods.

How do you place colors by the way? I used color replacement tool or put a layer under the shading layers with a color. I'm still experimenting though. Thanks again.

For some reason, I learn more by just trying to figure out somebodies methods from the hints and clues they leave than by straight up tutorials.

How you choose to colour it is up to you to be honest, I'm still experimenting on ways myself
 
Your works are amazing, Yilx. I really like the touches you make with warmer colors. It gives your pieces that realistic sense of light ^^ I'm amazed how all of your works have emotional sense in it, be it in facial expressions, dynamic poses or colors. You are definitely something I look up to, so keep on doing art ^^
 
I have been lurking this thread for very long now, and I completely adore most of your art. I especially like your use of warm colors and shading. Keep up the good work. :)

Luvdisc'd

Even your scibbles have depth, is this a finished image or a dormant one?

Also what brush settings did you use for this one? I have the brushes, but I could use some directions on how to get that smudgy look.

Very stylish. Always had a soft spot for girl in uniforms.

Not sure if the bright light is supposed to reach her left shoulder and lower hair, though. The bottom part of her coat could also use a more gradient lighting rather than brushed. My five cents.

Best image in the CAP 4 gallery, no lie. But as a concept, I felt it to be lacking in the psychic department, so I gave my vote to the other guy. But it was good to see how this design evolved from the bugger with large, soft eyes to the intimidating pharao menace it is now, so the fact that it made it to the final should leave no one surprised.
 
Lawd, I'm no professional critic but I'll give you a 4 out of 5 lip-moistening art deliciousness! I really like your use of contrasting and bold colors in some of your works which give them an energetic, almost 'rustic' vibe to it.

Overall, you have neat coloring, good and smooth lines, and all that! <3

And....

THIS! I like 'em both but I dig the one in the upper right more. It has a more 'psychic' feel. The other one at the bottom kind of gives a Bug/Rock or Steel feel to it...? But that's just me. XD

Do you have a colored version of the one at the upper right, perhaps?

Finished. The picture was more so of me 'releasing' a bunch of pent-up stress.

I just used the chalk brush in Photoshop with minimal custom settings. I used a custom dodge brush for the light areas though, but it's fundementally also a chalk brush.

For the girl, I kept it that way as I just wanted to light up those areas a little; thanks for the pointers though, I'll keep them in mind.

Thanks as always, ilu :doom:
 
Yo Yilx, would you be so kind as to direct me to the brushes which you (mainly) use? Cheers buddy.

Also, I'm really struggling to get an ivory-like texture on a drawing atm, any pointers?

Your CAP entry was my fave btw, shame it didn't win. Keep up the good stuff!
