Weekly Character Art Thread #4 Fujiwara no Mokou

Weekly art thread: Fujiwara no Mokou

Hello, and welcome to the weekly art thread. This is for people to show off their skill, learn stuff, and have fun. So long as it’s original art by you, it’s welcome. You can use what ever art medium you like: Drawings, water color, Digital art, MMD, Music, Programming, and Cosplay, if you made it, you can post it. Don’t worry about skill, just do your best.

Each week, this’ll be synced up to the same character as the music threads. There will be Exceptions how ever, such as non specific themes. In these cases, a random character that has already been used in the music thread will be the focus.

The theme character should be in it, but apart from that, you can have any other characters you want, and any setting. The deadline is until the next character art thread, but if you're late, you can put it in the next one, just say it's the character from the last week. Gore is allowed, but you’ll need to tag it. NSFW is permitted, but you'll have to tag it NSFW.

Other things you can submit: You can submit art tutorials, and I’ll save them to a document, and link it here for easy access to help

Link to art tutorials

The only other rules are be respectful, help others, and have fun.

I wonder if anyone actually reads this bit. Pancakes were free at a restaurant the other day, but I was a day late. Missing out on free food hurts.

So, initially I wanted to keep it a pencil sketch, but then I went insane and ended up with this O.o

Also, my last week stuff - it went up pretty late, selfish slefpromo ftw.

woah, cool job with that PHOTOSHOP* SORCERY for the SICKNASTY BACKGRUNDIS, what with the nice something something and the other something whatever. i have no idea what you did. desaturation and a brown overlay? aside: cool thing. good adaptation. nice choice of photo. particularly nice decision to slap some darkness around the sides; rad contrast with the fire.

one thing i dislike is that there is a clash of three different styles, in that there is the photo (sharp, photo-like, you know), the drawing of mokou (your style what with the clean lines and colour and the you know) and lastly the pastel crayon fire thing. the pastel effect just feels out of place. i don't think the mokou drawing has too much conflict with the background in general, but the crayons and things seem off compared to ye olde photo thing.

on the whole, however, the fire effects look fine, in a colour and shape sense. mostly it's just the crayon effect.

the man's got an eye for lighting, what a cool dude.

final score: Reply hazy try again

final words on temporary insanity: "buuuuuuuuut why stop there?"

*(probably)

Thanks for the swift criticism. :D People overall agree that the 3 elements collide together. I initially wanted to apply some filters on the background, but I am just afraid of losing detail.

Don't worry, I will stop at nothing with the next week drawing. :D
