i love your design for Soren, man, and I think this piece was more than I expected, something I wanted to REALLY encapture the vibe I got from Soren. We have some lovely Aurora music to go along with this piece, which is somewhat of a sad song to pair with Soren, and I did see that you did not want me to associate sadness with Soren, but the feel I was more going for was a solemn nostalgia, from the colors to surrealistic take i took to the compositioning. I FEEL LIKE I also made Soren a bit too mature-looking for a 9-13 year old boy, in which I hope you don't mind how I drew him..! Besides that, I did a few adjustments to his character design that I THINK i have some stuff to say about. 1. This was the first thing I wanted to add, being a pink tie around his neck, which I mostly added for composition reasons as it looked good, but pink also is a color that represents naivety, youth, happiness, and stupidity, which is quite fitting. 2. I gave him lace around the ends of his coat as I feel like it gave his character design some more interest. Lace in general is also a thing seen in older clothing, which I often relate to royalty, richness, or refinement. I feel like since your characters were inspired by the sky, I wanted to integrate the lace, IN WHICH I BELIEVE MY RANT ABOUT LACE is a bit over the top HAHA but I enjoy rambling, it's interesting I think. (i hope) 3. I didn't include his wings.... i believe the plants in the back suffice as a more "metaphorical" representation of his wings. Maybe you as a viewer can interpret plants replacing his wings as something. THAT ALL BEING SAID, let's FRICKING GO I'm very honored to have joined this contest, I love the chaarcters, go join @arhicopter's contest, (as she says, "big prizes"!) -----
Made in Krita, I use the airbrush and round brush to render. Song is "Little Boy in the Grass" by Aurora. ----- #art #all sometimes i look at my art and go "damn how did i do that" like bro im looking at the shading colors found in his blue coat and i'm like "whoa how are the shadows green, blue, purple, and red at the same time??? crazy"
