Commission for Red Riot again
Now that I got a beefier upgrade for my pc. Bigger canvasses and brushes are more feasible as well as 3D models. Gonna have to save up for a nvme SSD, and well as the AI apocalypse is happening, that means I'm going to have to suffer the inflated prices.

God, these are beautiful.

I'm a bit curious, how do you come up with the designs for your characters? With the commissioned works you probably get some reference images you can work with, but do you prefer to work with more anime/manga references or real people as references?

For this one and other works, I def get a ton of references and text from the customers so their characters are rendered out. I honestly prefer whatever I can get my hands on whether its real or anime/comic references. I wanna get as many influences as possible because even anime or comics take inspiration from real life. Its usually learning from real life and then taking that knowledge to stylize it.

Are there any artists you feel had a big impact on your style? I can't quite think of any who have that particular mix of dynamic angles and detailed background textures. Most concept artists seem to prefer the "background smear of colours" thing, not sure why.

Concept art is mainly for quick concepting of themes or basically making a ton of disposable artworks so a project can find the best design at the fastest and less cumbersome use of time and energy, this video explains it well.

my lineart is getting better but I def want to improve on color and need to do some studies. But as an artist or in any subject, just doing studies will not make you improve, you gotta learn on the job and get better as you are doing work.

Honestly, I really love your lineart. It almost feels a shame to add colour to it, the colour usually ends up hiding all that gorgeous texture work. At the same time, I can see the need for it—the sheer amount of texture almost feels overwhelming, and the colour helps organise it so it's a bit easier to read.

Still, a shame for having to hide those textures.

You have a beautiful art style. It's very clean, which I adore. It's also very solid on the foundations—your line work is fantastic, it's dynamic and shows incredible control of your lines. It reminds me a lot of how and why artists keep slamming the importance of the basics—solid basics make for incredible art, flimsy basics can make the most incredible art fall flat at best.
