Value?!?? What are you doing here

So lately, I haven't been feeling satisfied with my art. Nothing I've been doing has turned out how I want it to. I know I need to study more but I haven't been sure how to begin. That's why I decided to start in the same place I started my art journey, and the place I feel most inspired- with the Hyrule Historia.

I know a lot of the people following me (man, I always forget I have followers on this site 😅) started following for my Linktober content. So, I love the Legend of Zelda. Seeing the various concept arts- especially that of Ocarina of Time- is what inspired me 6 or 7 years ago to want to create art. I've always found the characters to be so beautiful. I'm hoping that with the knowledge I have now, I'll be better able to learn from those illustrations and apply then to my own art.

Anyway, I did some basic anatomy sketches based on OoT concept art. They'll be below the cut. I just wanted to take the time to talk about that part of my art journey and what it means to me. Hopefully I can improve and make some better illustrations soon.

Can someone tell me if this looks cool or if it’s a sinkhole that I’ve already wasted too many hours on..? It’s supposed to represent rot consuming fresh greens. Compost lesbians, if you will.

"Unbidden, an image of Jayce smiling in bed earlier this morning comes to mind. Viktor's hand on his cheek. His slightly chapped lips. His bedhead. Stubble. His smile lines. The shape of his jaw."

one of my favorite little scenes from coming home (but not to you) by @lesbianherald :) haven't done comics in so so long but really wanted to give it a shot lol

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously
