i'm not sure how to perfectly describe this art though. i sense i forgot something really important...

between this step and the Altine Tentative colors, how you render the glow between the color and line? made the image look so mesmerizing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm not really sure how to explain it but it's dealt with color toning than glow. just think of the object as a cylinder. how light hits the cylinder and others.

Wow, that looks awesome. The priest collar is especially a nice touch.

You got a very particular description on parts you like... makes me conscious about how i made the art though. questions like : was it good; was it bad? prevail among others. T_T please be direct. your words are peppered with suspense it'll kill me soon.

Actually, when I write, I don't always have a specific design in mind for the character. It's hard to describe, but it's like I'm channeling their story. I think in words and concepts rather than images. To be honest, how I prefer to write is to only give details that are really important to the feel of the character and trust the reader's imagination.
In the case of Altine, I gave descriptions that imply her soft, ladylike side that lies under her archetype action-girl persona.
For example, her actual costume design I didn't have a super specific image for. I wanted artists to have their own interpretation. All that I tried to imply is that her outfit would be easy to move around in, would offer protection from the elements, would have storage for her gear (such as a lined coat), and that she'd favor something classy. Your design really captured all of those aspects really well, and it's a testament to your ability to just know a character intuitively.
(Please don't get too stressed out~ *offers a yukkuri*)

hmm. this spells the difference between authors. their taste becomes clear...
I'll keep you preferences in mind. Regarding Altine's simple design, please forgive me for that. I'll try harder next time.
*yukkuri combo!

Huh? Forgive? But I just got done telling you that you did well.
You are much too hard on yourself. My other friend's design for her wasn't simple at all ([link] ) but that's true to her too.
You kind of remind me of Yuno from Hidamari Sketch at times...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry I wasn't aware of that, maybe because I'm more focused on how to make it better and I envy how your friend illustrated Altine - it has more impact. I'm thinking that i should try doing more action angles. My pin ups are making me look like I'm not fit for drawing anything aside from those poses.
As for Yuno, perhaps we do share a common mind...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If it makes you feel any better, I'm often crippled with self-doubt whenever I finish a story too. My mind is filled with how it could have gone better -- how it should have gone better. I'm almost surprised when I get positive feedback. I think whatever I write just can't match up to what I had in my head, so everything I do is a letdown. Can be a real downer.
Still, even if I have no access to whatever image you had in your head, I really like what you put on paper anyway.

Let me reflect on this.

Okay. I hope I didn't strike a nerve.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know you can sense that I'm serious when I write.
i clearly want something but i need to do something. if it strikes nerves, that's normal.

results...

I really wished Flavor of Brandy didn't meander so much or had a point to it that was foreshadowed right. I really wish Coming of Age had a smoother flow to it, or that I was better with descriptions.
Whenever I finish a work, I feel like I'm doing my own universe an injustice with my limited writing abilities.
... but other people seem to be happy anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
we are happy - no euphemisms.

And I think most are happy when you do pictures too.

so the low contrast is on purpose for soft feeling.. hmm hmm

Yes. n_n
