So, I'm in my 2nd & 1/2 year of graphic design and have started to practice for some serious work in illustration and animation. Where better to start then by practicing on Lunar stuff?
Here's a picture I did of just a Lucia portrait, kinda a work in progress.
I sized it WAY down so I didn't have this huge jpeg in your face. Hope you like.

Re: Lucia fan art.
Um. Are you serious about wanting suggestions, as in actual criticism and "this doesn't work" and "that's wrong" and stuff? Because I can give you criticism, but it won't be interleaved with compliments. I don't set out to be cruel, but a lot of people interpret bluntness that way when it's about their artwork.
Re: Lucia fan art.
As an artist, I am completely capable of accepting constructive criticism. True artists, when seeking criticism, take themselves out of their work. I want to know what you think of this if you have reasonable suggestions. I'm not worried about compliments, but focused on the problems others see arising in my creations.Alunissage wrote:Um.

It is definitely in-progress, and it is a copy style from what I see in the lunar line work. Please feel free to say what you wish.

Re: Lucia fan art.
You mentioned you're doing graphic design, so... how did you put this together? Did you start with pen-and-paper or start with a tablet PC or some other digital (as in non-physical) format?
I say that because there are some aspects of this that really look off from an anatomical perspective, even a stylized one, and some of that "off-ness" might be due to matters of the interface you used and not your general art style. So, it'd help to parse out things to work on with your software/interface, and things to work on in your general art/anatomical drawing skills. KF

Re: Lucia fan art.
The drawing looks inconsistent in the bangs (this doesn't look hand-drawn, though I could be mistaken) , and in places the shading looks like you chose a bigger brush size and didn't use a smaller one to refine.
Do you have a tablet?

Do you have a reference picture?
I suggest you try copying, first.

Re: Lucia fan art.
I like it, personally. It has an avant-garde quality to it. As a representation of the character it's rather crude, but it's interesting. I really like the shadows you applied to the outline.
