DnD drawing WIP feedback welcome!

Hi @swordofodin I like the style and how its shaping. I like the comp - It makes nice cycling pattern - the little guy - skeleton head - the castle. But the birds that are flying of the page and the dead tree behind the skeleton guy is breaking the flow - my eye is trapped there. Imo I would erase these two elements.
Other than that I really like it and I am looking forward how you will conquer this further
-
@thiskatecreates @Jonas-Zavacky this is amazing feedback thank you guys so much. Gonna get right on that!
-
@swordofodin Very nice is there a reason you like to use traditional ink? Have tried finishing a piece digitally?
-
@rcartwright Thanks! Yeah I have done several finished digital pieces using the procreate app on my ipad. There's some on my instagram. I just like the feeling of making something on paper with pencil and ink. It just makes me feel way more accomplished for some reason? That's just me though. For this one I will probably ink it on paper, scan it in and color it digitally.
-
Alright.. here is the inked version. Just gotta fix the blotched parts and smudges with some white and then i can do a scan. And then gonna attempt coloring. Any thoughts?
-
Amazing layout and design! Good job!
-
Looks pretty good to me. I was expecting you to do the whole thing digitally, but traditional inks are pretty awesome, too
I think this'll make some nice clean lines. Looking forward to seeing the colouring.
-
@kaelin-twede-0 @Art-of-B thanks! I hope it looks good when i color it. I’m still pretty awful at it but we’ll see what happens
-
Ok so before i start adding color, i did the values.
Im going For a more diffused light appearance so I might take the drop shadows away. I think I’m gonna keep the highlights though. Ty @Art-of-B for your feedback earlier. -
Love it!
-
Thanks! I actually dont know if these values work.. im gonna try something else
-
I love the drawing, absolute quality. The only distraction for me is the castle in the background being so dark it draws my eye from the characters. If that was a lot lighter, with less contrast, the forground would stick out more.
-
@gavpartridge ok my first attempt at coloring a thing to completion (well technically I tried coloring it like 8 times) I feel finished and happy with it.
-
Yeah that works mate, really nice! Shows what i know! Lol.
-
@gavpartridge no you were right! I was really worried about it until I figured out which colors would work really well
-
@swordofodin Great Work! I love the characters and how you subdued the background and set the atmosphere. XD
