Re: Eiohas Drawing Thread!: Gillard
I enjoy your style, it's cartoony is an excellent way. You've got proportion down pretty solid, to which I am envious. The legs could be a little longer on that last one, although I'm thinking you may have done that deliberately? Either way, looking good.
Thanks!! I did do it deliberately, but I understand that, you can easily get unsure if it was intented or not - I just thought that length was decent for him, heh. But I didn't focus much on the legs to be honest ;P
Sweet Jesus, amazing! Great job!
Thanks buddy!
I like the design you gave Gillard and, I'm impressed it only took you 5-10 mins to do.
Wow, 2-3 whole years of drawing. I envy your skills, Eioha.
You're welcome. I find it inspirational when I come across artists like yourself, who draw everyday. Since you don't mind me asking you questions; I was wondering what motivates you to draw each day and, how you choose what to draw? Do you ever replicate anything from video games, manga, anime, ect...?
Thanks, thanks and thanks!!
Motivates? Hmmm, I think it's mostly; music, artists(who will blow your mind away with awesomeness), dreams and my "ordinary" imagination. There isn't really a big explaination how I choose what to draw, I just draw what I want to draw! Only time can be a hindrance for me, heh. I don't really "replicate" stuff to be honest, I think it's most awesome if you draw something that is your own. But I have done a little bit of fan art! But I don't think that would be replicating, except for the character!
Gillard kinda has a "stock anime/jrpg hero" look to him (largely due to the sword and hair), and it's kinda boring. I feel like you could probably push his design alot further than you have. If he's your protagonist, he needs something that will help him stand out in a crowd. As of now, the big gloves/boots are about the most unique part of his design. I don't mean to be harsh, but you're a good artist, and I feel like you could do way better.
I totally understand what you mean, but I think it's vary from people to people!
I do have another character that I'm playing around with, that (hopefully) maybe isn't in your oppinion that "boring"
I'm really glad for the critic, thanks!
I'm sorry it took a bit of time to respond, but I have been
so bussy with family stuff. 2 birthdays in a row, one yesterday and one today. The first one ended late in the night, and the one today just ended now. However, thanks again! I really appreciate your comments, they motivates too!
Edit.: Here is a poorly attempted portraiting of Gillard.. Something seems waaaaay off to be actually him - but I don't know what is wrong!!! Argh! I'll sure to get better!!
Hope you'll somehow enjoy:..
