[ DMCE for @-honey_frog- ] ◆ tap to zoom ◆ arrow keys + buttons to change slide - probably worst thumbnail ive made... oh well! If anyone has noticed that I take part in a lot of DMC contests, it's mostly because I have a baseline on what to draw, because my imagination is not so imaginative... For this case, I joined because of the prior reason, and because I liked the rubber ducky aspect (ducks are my fav animal hehe) I've been trying to challenge myself more, go out of my comfort zone, and practice perspective and composition, so I have mixed feelings toward the finished piece. Also, I want to clear up what her pose is: She's supposed to be crossing her legs, but it looks odd... so it's not very easy to tell. ◆ Art Process: 1 ‣ I went to IbisPaintX and created the lineart, but I hadn't noticed the imbalance in objects? I know I'm inexperienced in art, so I'm not sure if I noticed the right thing? :P 2 ‣ When starting the coloring, I was excited, but I realized that it wasn't turning out well... but art usually looks awkward at some point, so I think it just came early for this piece? 3 ‣ Added the 1st shading, but I also noticed that the limited amount of pixels makes the mouth shape look weirder than they were supposed to be... it's kinda funny 4 ‣ Added the 2nd shading. The grapes on the top left aren't supposed to be floating, but I fix that later. The stuff on the bottom left are supposed to be glass, which was a literal representation of the character liking sharp objects? (glass is hard to draw arhh) 5 ‣ Enlarged the canvas and added highlights. 6 ‣ Usually, highlights would have been the last step aside from touch ups and extras, but it looked really plain. I added special effects and touched things up- but I think it is a big difference from #6. 6.1 ‣ Chromatic aberration version ◆ Credits: Art ‣ Me, @_therandomthings Zooming Code ‣ @colorsnatch Character ‣ Kiera by @-honey_frog- Music ‣ (from original contest project) Zelda & Chill Gerudo Valley Mikel Lofi Remix, zelda, and zelda2? embarrassing aghhck prob my worst piece of art this year haha
