aka 'Flowers for Algernon'. Might change the title if it's infringing copyright or anything haha



It's a WIP, obviously, but I don't know where to go from here. Are there any good tutorials online about adding detail? Like, realistic detail? Everything I see skimps over the part, all the tuts just say 'add detail blablah' and leave my high and dry when it comes to that part.
I think the shark looks cool though.
Anyways. I'd like to know what you think/if there are any major errors. I tend to only use a couple layers to save on space/blend easier, but I'm starting to regret my decision.

bothered reading the titel it says NPA: non pixel art, it also says digital art.

hmm all the faces seem a bit blurry compared to the bug's face.

please click it, otherwise it will die, and it seems special.

rethought the composition but can't think of where to put the black-cloaked figure. D:

maybe try conceptart instead of here since it's NPA.
Looks nice though.

Yeah, you're more likely to get better help over on ConceptArt since they specialize in this type of art. :3


But, it looks like it has a lot of potential! :D

There's nothing wrong with this being NPA, this isn't a strictly pixel art forum.

if you have to include the black-robed figure, perhaps put him between two existing figures, just make sure you balance that composition with something on the other side. not much to comment on at this early stage, other than it's overall a bit blurry, but hopefully the final product will have a crispness to it.
