A few battlers

[Racheal]

Just looking for some C&C on a few new enemy battlers from Ethereal Dreams
As per usual with this project, Line Art is by Makio-Kuta, and I did the colors/shading.

A plate miniskirt is the most practical idea ever, don't you think

The guards are a bit shinier then my usual style, but I thought it fit, what with all the armor and such. And I don't know why, but I really much prefer shading a darker skin.

As well, Makio also has the front views done for our prison guards sprites

I still have to finish shading for the 3rd ones battler, so that will be posted at a later date.

Very nice artwork there keep it up

That's very well done. Those battlers have their own unique style. Good job!

I would expect nothing less from you guys, great work!

The only thing I would say is, the guard on the far left, I would like to see more of his/her face and the helmet seems slightly, un-porportional (sp?)

Good stuff!

ARGH!
NO! what are you doing? Pointy chins, demented noses, belly button elbows, super high crotches and cloth shields...

hehe, now i can see that someone doesn't like to draw feets :P

racheal, the new one id far better than the old ones.. by looking iat it, i'm sure you can see what is wrong :P if you need me to list it, i can do that for you

Okay to be honest there are many things wrong with these characters, as mentioned above the anatomy of the actual characters is just plain off. The poses that they are in are possible but the way they have been drawn doesn't give the idea justice. The faces need a lot of work and what is wrong with those feet? The dimple in the arms needs to be adjusted quite a bit. And the weapons and armor don't really scream metal. I hope that helps.

@Chaos_Prime & FireRaven: Thanks for the comments!

@ama: The male guard is supposed to have a bigger helmet...to the point that...it's quite oversized ^^

@NexS: The shield looks like cloth? :\ that's not a good thing... *stares at it and wonders why* Pointy chins, Deformed noses, and even more deformed feet would be a style quirk of Makios ^^; Definately going to look into those female elbows at least, because now, that's all I see ^^; (at least on her right arm) And all of these were done in about a 1 week span, so there's not really 'new' or 'old' ones

@Lonesight: I knew someone would bring up that evil word Anatomy.... at least it wasn't the equally evil word Perspective. What paticulary did you find wrong in the faces? The pointy chin/deformed noses? The head shape? or something else completely. And the feet.... well I know I laughed at the deformitiy of them when I first saw them ^^; call it a style quirk?

And I thought I was finally having some luck with metal.....I actually kinda liked how the male's sword blade turned out :\ Does the chainmail at least look like...chainmail? >.> Any tips in that area?

when i get home i'll edit the picture and circle everything and try and give a visual example of what i'm talking about

 

[sk8tertim]

those are pretty cool my be you can help me with my charators
how about that.

 

[ama55]

For all those who have mentioned anatomy: While I agree with you about the anatomy, pointy chins, ect. It is Makio's style (like Rachael said). I've played the demo and seen the artwork for their game and they pull it off quite nicely. I would suggest checking out their Project Thread to see some more artwork. (In fact, my avatar is by Makio)

I guess I'm trying to say that we should say how it fits or does not fit into their game, because to be honest, I think it ROCKS!!!

All i gotta say is that the nose looks kinda funny in the male guard.

@Ama55: Then Move there :P

It's obviously how she likes to draw. Get over it, I like them.
