[METAL SLUG]

There is a very strong balance of darks and lights. I wish that the Metal Slug text was curved to the side at a 3D angle, as that would make it look more dynamic. Additionally, I think the screen could be a bit wider because the tank feels almost claustrophobic in the scene and doesn't have enough space to breathe.

Perhaps it would be better if the tank were moved more to the middle because I feel that the negative space between the foreground and background creates a sharp edge on the side, which contrasts poorly with the roundness of the tank.

Additionally, the clear distinction between the background and foreground is also a strong suit of the piece.

@ENGINEER24, you are incredibly skilled, and your ability to create very vivid textures is impressive. You have an amazing technique when it comes to shading and lighting. What is your educational background?

@ENGINEER24, how did you become so passionate about art? You have very well-established habits for creating it, and your skill is very impressive.

ENGINEER24 responds:

First of all, I apologize for the awkward English because I used a translator.

#1 - I learned on my own until I got basic training several month a few years ago. I mainly practiced by drawing from movies or photos or observing factories, machine near my residence.

#2 - Because I enjoy drawing:)
And also I always have a desire to draw better than I do now.


Thank you for your question and have a nice day! ;)

Excellent design, the way you've done the clothing is really good.

KyleKirenn17 responds:

Awww thank you! I could have done a little better though. I may have done screwed up on some parts. But again, glad you love the design!

[on a quest]

I like how clean and sharp the lines are; the line work and shading are very nice and consistent, complementing each other well.

ShnozGoblins responds:

I'm pretty happy with the result myself. I wanted to try something new and I think this style will stay :)

[Super Shoga]

Very clear foreground, middleground and background.

BioBeetle responds:

thank you! I honestly spend a really long time adjusting my line-weights for this reason! so it's a big compliment!

[Deourple your Ourple.]

That's amazing how much progress you've made! Your art is terrific—great shadow work and anatomy. How would you describe your artistic journey? What points did you struggle with the most? How did you learn to draw, and what techniques do you consider to be the most prevalent in your process?

BluZer0 responds:

Thank you very much, it means a lot!
It's been a slow work in progress. I always look at past works and see what I could've done better. Anatomy/dynamic poses are things I struggle with, and my sense of color isn't the best, either. Going to keep trying until I get it!
I learned to draw by crudely doodling my favorite characters growing up. Then, I took some art classes to learn the basics a little better.
I gather multiple references and mix them up, creating a more unique pose. I always try to give the line art more variation in weight, so the overall outline doesn't look too flat/static. Furthermore, I color the line art.
Lastly, I try not to rush through the drawing, and will sometimes "let it sit" for a day. This helps me notice flaws, or just things that look weird and need a fix.

[Golden Deer Mages]

It's really cool that you're both amazing at making music and creating art! The silhouettes are great, and the color palettes are very nice. You have a real knack for designing interesting outfits.

ConnorGrail responds:

Thank you for your kind words :) although in this one I can't take credit for the outfits, these characters are straight out of the game!
