Stofu's Art Topic

WOW okay I'm new here but I'd really like to get more active in the community!
Because lurking for a year on the Booru isn't as much fun at all.

SO I'm 16 and this is some of my stuff! I'm open to requests and stuff unless stated otherwise...due to a busy Junior year and stuff.

Spoiler


SOME STUFF I don't want to overload this so here's some decent work.
I'll leave this at that until later if you guys want to see more?

Very much in agreement about the hand. That's gorgeous, such a great assortment of colours!

Is the Lucy on Candybooru?

Yes it is! It's for the dress contest that's been running this month...ultra last minute entry (last day, ahah!)
And thank you! ;n;

AH here's some more! Thank you all for the wonderful feedback, it's been very encouraging.
This is like. Something for a Christmas card, a limited color pallet challenge, and some nudes.
Thank you all so muchhhhh.

The owl is beautiful and the dragon looks wrong in a good, "you're dreaming" way.
  • #7

Thank you! And one confusion, can you elaborate more on your feedback with the dragon? I'm sorry to have to ask, but I don't quite understand what you're saying and I really appreciate you taking the time to give me feedback on it. :)
  • #8

Well, I'm basically saying it looks fantastical.
The positioning and dimensions, particularly of the head, make little sense physically (my brain is locked into seeking a real world application for fake objects, like the eyes being that of a preyed animal like a herbivore, allowing it to have a good view around itself but not in front, making it a poor hunter. Juxtaposed, the teeth and limbs, most notibly the forelimbs and phalanges, suggest a carnivore. It also looks poorly balanced. [TL DR; I'm a "take everything as a serious possibility" sort of guy]). Despite this, it looks good and even plausible in the sense you could be dreaming.

That probably made less sense then before.

That actually helps a great deal, aha. Really, I appreciate the feedback.
I'm a pretty big bio/anatomy nerd myself sO I UNDERSTAND the analysis! Thank you so much, all this feedback really helps with later work I want to do in a sort of series like this.

(ALSO MORE POSTING YAyyyyy)

Collection of sketches. These are probably what requests will look like, more or less!
My style bounces around all over the place as you can see.

I also like Janet.

I feel I should reframe from posting now.

WOAH! Tiny tiny legs supporting massive meaty body. Looks quite surreal.
Spoiler


I quite like the sandy picture, too. Though it's not her usual style of clothing and hair, which threw me off initially.
O that first image with the half-man half-goat creature, is it a wolf or a dear beside it? Or a dear with a wolf's head! One freak completing the other :smirk:

It's actually a water deer! They have fangs (this one's a mix of a pudu/tufted deer because I'm experimenting with designs, but they look like this:)

One request down! I'm still working on the Sol Badguy one, he's proving to be a little difficult, but I'll get there!
Sorry this is so sloppy, I was working with colors and bg on one layer, just different techniques and stuff. I learned some stuff, some stuff didn't work, the whole thing, yadda yadda.

Spoiler


I also drew an angsty Mike to loosten up!

Drew a Rachel today. Some sort of limited pallet color theory test thing. I don't know. It was fun though.

That Rachel's pretty swell. You did good with the color; limited palettes are so hard augh. I noticed you just generally treat color well; that hand and owl and people gesture watercolor thing were all really great. I'm really excited to see what else you'll share! :D

that's really encouraging feedback!
I love color a lot so I'm happy to hear my color theory is decent enough ahah. It's one of the things I really work on, along with anatomy!

And water deer use those to spar, they're kinda like antlers. Think of them as super kawaii tiny deer. With tusks. They eat shoots and leaves and shit, ahah.

Oh snap. Sorry I didn't check this thread more often. The initial Lucy wasn't uhm. To my palette, but the stuff afterwards has been pretty fantastic! Are you still taking more requests? I'd understand if you weren't since you have a backlog.

I am! I only have one request I haven't completed.
And I'm sorry it wasn't to your taste? I'm very very open to critique, so seriously ahah, feel free to give me more feedback.

I uh. Well to be honest it was the face for me, it seems as if someone smashed her face in with a shovel. The other art doesn't seem to suffer from that issue so I don't know if it is your style or just a choice on that picture in particular. And maybe the angle makes her seem incredibly 2D, like a cardboard cutout falling over.

Sooo. If you aren't too put off by what I had to say, then is it possible to draw this guy:

Anyway, thanks.

I'm an amateur first so I'm still improving, ahah. But I get crits way harsher than that in art school, those are cry worthy. I've got a pretty tough skin.
In defense of that picture it's more of a combination of being uncomfortable with my tools (I usually use a Cintiq tablet but my computer's on the fritz so I've had to downgrade significantly) and drawing at 2 or 3AM. There are elements I like (like the legs, I struggled to get those right), but it's not a great picture. Oh well.

I'll see what I can do!
  • #44

UHM sorry for lack of updates, I've been really busy with school starting last week and other stuff. I'm posting some stuff I've done but haven't posted before? The first one's from about a year ago, the second one's just a character design I've been refining for like a year and a half.
Working on those requests but I'm going to have to say that's it for a little while.

Oooo those are pretty. The poodle dragon certainly is a silly beast isn't it? And the background for the wolf and goat pic is very nice, although I'm not certain what exactly the goat's expression is supposed to convey in that situation.

Who are you goat, and why do you glare into my soul?

I read "The poodle dragon certainly is a silly beast isn't it?" as "The poodle dragon is certainly the beast isn't it?" and thought Ace was making a terrible pun

why have you disappointed

it would have been so easy
