For BStoneman

-------------

Prompt was "powerful magic and effects" and "not gloomy" it started with a few more figures for some sort of a ritual but well, time is a limited thing

Used a photo reference from the gesture, which I'll not link for... Reasons, but please accept this drawing by your favourite pixel pusher of the same pic 

https://www.deviantart.com/exidelo/art/Figure-Study-740567792

and background and environmental stuff was mostly inspired by Bouguereau works.

Incredible work! Feels so classic and it's masterfully done, while also keeping it original and engaging.

Wow, this is superb! Really amazing anatomically and just wonderful in terms of colour choices.

I'm particularly obsessed with the rendering of the knees and the hair, but this is great all round.

Pixel art that comes alive!

You've really become a master of throwing colours from all across the spectrum next to each other and making them work. All that life drawing is really paying off too.

The landscape was heavily inspired by Bouguereau works, idk why I misread some likes in the secret Santa list I was convinced he was mentioned somewhere. I'm glad I misread it though, great learning experience ! And yeh model is amazing, really perfect reference for what I wanted to do, I'll upload the ref

Don't you look at your own figure pixels  and thank you, I actually wanted to make some Tomi laurila study for this but it was way bigger than I thought 


user
Umbohr (Level 7 Merfolk) @ 12/27/2023 11:58

And you know you weren't utterly wrong for the dragon thing... This was probably inspired by a story about humans carving dragons in stones to then "transfer" into them..

I'm glad you like it weerdmeester :)

Umbohr (Level 7 Merfolk) @ 12/27/2023 11:55

Thank you olive I'm glad you like it 


user
Umbohr (Level 7 Merfolk) @ 12/27/2023 11:51

I actually considered putting something there, like a bird or a stream of water  but in the end it was already too much work. I'm glad you like it !!


user
Umbohr (Level 7 Merfolk) @ 12/27/2023 11:47

Thank you! I tried to give the background a bit more attention this time yeh.. didn't had the time for proper clouds though

Really good! Especially the work on the landscape.

I recognise the model

Amazing! I could never have imagined figure drawing like this done in pixel art!

The only way this could possibly have been any better would have been if he was holding a tiny dinosaur pirate captain in his hand. Seriously though, this is just brilliant  The skills!

Love the way you put in so much detail not only in the foreground, but also the background! Tho the marble part of the subject is still my favorite =)
