wew, this one took almost a solid 24 hours of work (and quite a bit of missed sleep, so in a way it's lucky that i'm still unemployed, lolsob), which puts it among my most time consuming. it's also my most technically sophisticated by a wide margin, i basically never do the shading like this (although i might in the future, it came out great, even if it's *so* time consuming, it's mostly time consuming in a way i can just... really get in the zone and work on it without thinking about much else in a pleasant way)
as for stuff i like about this one, it's basically the way the lighting of her skin looks. i'm really really happy with it / proud of it. her ear is a particular area where i'm proud, and it took a lot of looking at ear diagrams (and then not following them quite accurately lol but it looks good so whatever)
now, for stuff that i'm less happy with, there's a few things. for one, i don't think the screwdriver looks great. it's like, passable. the color choice on it is less than perfect (maybe a little oversaturated given the rest of the colors in the piece?). another part i don't like so much is that her foot is a little wonky (i couldn't *quite* make it convincingly connected to her leg in the right way, as it is i think her shin would have to be bent impossibly). i also think her hair came out weird in a few places (but overall pretty good), and lastly, her facial expression looks a bit derpy.
this probably doesn't need to be tagged as nsfwish but i'm playing it safe |
yeah, most of my pieces were considerably less work... this one was a grind. my next one (assuming i don't drop my current project) will be too (even moreso, maybe). i low key kinda decided that i'd rather put more effort in on fewer pieces than less effort in on more.
