[Ps1 Boyfriend N64 Girlfriend]

Very nice to see the appropriate shading style on the N64 girl, how did you manage to get her rendered that way, is it shader nodes?

NeonShambles responds:

Yeah, I'm using fast64 to make those n64 style renders

[John Carter of Mars]

Awesome!

[Sunshine today]

So much whimsical and expressive cartoon energy, I love it!

Thanks!

[Peachy Girl]

The outfits certainly suit her!

[Comforted Among the Flowers]

Very beautiful. The fairy and the flowers look so delicate. The mushroom is so detailed. Flowy cascading hair. And the lovely soft glow. I love everything about this.

Meowscles yesssssss

[Airships]

such a very cool action packed composition!

[Out]

Very clever composition. The way that he is the only one on the app in the area who is willing to show his face is on his profile is very symbolic, and relatable. Using those kinds of apps makes me have an expression like that on my face, too. The wrinkles on the clothes and texture of the hair are well drawn, and the dramatic lighting is a nice effect.

Some critique to help you improve:
The eyes and nose seem a bit small. Also they are a bit low on the face. The eyes should be higher than the vertical center of the head.

The chin is skewed at an incorrect angle. Even if the jaw is meant to be pressed away from its natural position by his palm, the human jaw's horizontal range of motion is to only move side to side, and does not tilt, so the chin should remain parallel with the hairline.

vlsrb responds:

Glad you found the idea interesting. Indeed, the symbolism you mention was very intentional, and there's more layers to it when you consider the specific situation in his country of origin, and also the implications of someone being willing to show practically their entire bare body on an app... but not their face. Long story short, definitely had a blast making this.

Thank you very much for the critique as well. Regarding the chin, I realized as much as soon as I finished inking and coloring everything, and at that point there was no going back. I also may not have taken enough time to double check everything before inking, which would explain the mistakes with the eyes and nose you noticed.

All in all, thank you very much for this comment, getting feedback like this means a lot to me!
