I was originally writing a long-ass comment on the eye of the character and how to fix it (as I thought it looked kind of unsettling when compared to the rest of the face), but then I realised it was one of this character's unique traits (although she has "normal eyes" in some of your older works"). Rip my 15 minutes x')

Even if it's on purpose, the eye's placement and proportion does feel kinda wrong to me. I have no other issues with the illustration. Great job on the hair btw !

Joeydrawss responds:

Her face is supposed to be young with her big eyes making her more cute and innocent.

But I did see some other problems, such as her eyebrow and her head shape not fitting well and other just miner thing in shading and lines that i went to clean it up. I think another reason why this might look "unsettling" is because her head is tilting down a little and I didn't captured that well enough.
I changed some of those, hopefully can do better next time.

I like that piece a lot, whether it's the composition, the color or even just the chracter. Everything works well together, the lighting and particles make it even better !

Shi-Gu responds:

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.
This is unlike most of my pieces, so it was rather refreshing and interesting to make.

[Bonjour!]

Bonsoir :)

FuShark responds:

Bonne après-midi! 👺

Elden Ring is everywhere, Elden Ring is everything... Maybe YOU are Elden Ring
That aside, this is a bit different from your recent illustrations, but in a good way. It's refreshing :)
I like the ambient lighting a lot on this one (if that's what you call it)

JessxJess responds:

I DID, in fact, become Elden Lord.... or is that the ending I picked? >:3 Anyway, thanks dude! I'm always trying to mix things up. I never want to be stagnant with my work.

[Fallen]

This looks fantastic, one of your best in a while !
As always, amazing color combinations and glow, I particuluarly like the character this time ^^
Also, the pink/orange-ishcolors go really well with the green :)

CuteNikeChan responds:

[Wanderer battle portrait]

I love your Wanderer illustrations, I honestly believe they are some of the best you've ever made !

They give me emotions I don't normally feel when I look at illustrations online. Like, I'd actually spend money to have a copy on my wall (and that is the first time I actually said that to anyone/thought that about any piece of art).

You're one of the few artists whose drawings I actually spend time watching every little details in the composition, and enjoying doing so.

I'm slowly getting into digital drawing because of you and another artist named Bacun, who over the past years have hugely inspired me and made me want to learn it.

In short, this is an amazing piece, as always. Thank you for your hard work and inspiring me ^^

JessxJess responds:

Shit dude, thanks so much, seriously. If I, in any way, helped with you picking up a pen or pencil to start drawing, that's too damn awesome. Keep it it! It's a rough road, but very much worth it.

[Maid Marija]
