[Voram -the World Ender-]

This is a great improvement.

MasaMethuselah responds:

thx:D

[Forsaken Queen Gertrude]

I LOVE FRAKTUR BLACKLETTER; THE BESTEST BLACKLETTER FONT EVAR! That tangent aside the art work is great, but I feel it would look better if the scales continued up over the creatures fingers, because as of this design, he looks like he has chicken legs for arms. Then again your art has always been a bit on the weird side, so that might kill the theme.

Ruedefaux responds:

I mean i kind of like the chicken leg look if im being honest XD
Also Gertrude is a girl LOL

[Sexiest Outfit Contest 2021]

Gloves and stockings make everything sexy ;)

nek0ai responds:

Agreed 100% 👌

[CRIMSON]

I listened to heavy metal once while drawing. It's interesting how music can inspire you while you draw, if you let it.

Ruedefaux responds:

right??? its so much fun~
you should totally do it again c:

[SEKIRO]

Now someone has to make a game called "Sekiro: Shadows Die and Stay Dead" , which would simply be a clone of "Serkiro: Shadows Die Twice" but with perma death.

Ruedefaux responds:

LOL so like heavy rain but sekiro

[Ghost Rider]

This perfectly captures the feeling of stepping into the summer sun in the middle of the afternoon...

J-Caro responds:

Not gonna lie, that was my main inspiration

[Portrait Practice]

A clown pirate... now that's something you don't see every day. Good work; I could spend all night looking at all the different brush strokes, and how they come together. I know this is digital, but I assume you have used synthetic paint tools. How do you cram so much detail in this smaller resolution, or did you downscale the picture before uploading?

cyangorilla responds:

First off, thank you! That's very nice of you to say :)

Buggy is from One Piece, where there is a bearman pirate and an elephant-shaped sword and a dog-shaped gun, so he is quite the normal guy.

In terms of the brush work, it was all done at the same resolution I uploaded it, since it was a study piece and I prefer to keep those low-res (to avoid detailing too much). The brushwork was one of the focuses of the study, but I mostly used 2 brushes + a smudge brush:

-A standard round where I messed with opacity or density (similar to flow in Photoshop)
-A very basic "bristle" brush I made
-A smudge version of the "bristle" brush

In some parts I added strokes of a dotted brush to break edges with something more than blending.

It is SUPER IMPORTANT to stroke along the surface you are painting, as that gives a more convincing look and doesn't confuse the eye regarding volumes (or at least reduces confusion).

The other thing I did was trying to have contour areas delimited by a saturated stroke where it was necessary to provide a more natural look to them, instead of a hard-surface razor sharp edge.

Hopefully this helped a bit. Shoot me a DM if you have further questions!
Thank you again c:

[DEMENFAUX]

This must have taken forever, so much detail, so many figures and characters. Great Job!

Ruedefaux responds:

Thank you so much <3

[Star Wars - Comic Cover]

I can't decide who I like best, Darth Vader or General Grievous; they're both the coolest Star Wars villains.

J-Caro responds:

Gotta go with Vader, but it's not an easy choice!

[Mechanic]

I love the way you do lighting; the burning cigarette was the highlight of this pic for me XD.

JessxJess responds:

Gotta have that contrasting focal point. I always makes the picture.
