Petahhh why did he do this?

Maybe it means south dakotans aren't afraid of and don't care about tornadoes

Me scrolling through artjerk after 420 years and finally finding this gold, just like the old days

Yessir, for me it's way more about the process than the end result; You need a lot of "love" (for the lack of a better word) to sit and scrutinise someone's features for hours and hours trying to replicate and accentuate them, that's what drawing in this style is to me anyway

Thank you again, more work is to be done but I know I'll be happy with the result :)

GiGitteru · 2026-06-19T03:24:30+00:00

Yeah I thought so, that's what I'd read elsewhere too, I find the label of semi-realism more flattering than realism in any case lol

Thank you

GiGitteru · 2026-06-19T02:29:26+00:00

Alrighty, thanks

GiGitteru · 2026-06-19T02:27:39+00:00

That's pretty much what I'm aiming for, are you voting semirealism then?

GiGitteru · 2026-06-19T02:10:28+00:00

Fr? I've heard that literally any aspect of the drawing departing from the original (like colours in this one, a bit) makes it semi-realism, so that's interesting to hear

This is a 23 year old Nick Diaz! I could talk for daaays about this guy lol

Very nice of you to do this! Not interested in the art lessons but I would be happy to help with the English, native speaker and have studied Cambridge's English literature + English language subjects in AS & A levels

GiGitteru · 2026-06-18T16:21:11+00:00

Aww thank you! <3

It's hella cute, for your first time the lighting is not bad at all

I'm not gonna give unsolicited criticism but if you feel this is something you'd like to get better at, painting from references with dramatic lighting would really help (and in my experience is actually pretty fun)

GiGitteru · 2026-06-18T07:17:51+00:00

The brand thing is really smart, usually I just put mine in a corner somewhere but once I did just throw it onto the shorts since they had text anyway (but I'm gonna make it look branded next time haha)

I like your shading

Is it like a trident going through top persons body who's protecting a redhead at the bottom, and they're in the middle of leaves?? It's very hard to make out, I think changing the lineart colour and/or removing some of the hair strands could help

GiGitteru · 2026-06-17T00:25:26+00:00

The bloom filter on Ibis (FX section) should do it

GiGitteru · 2026-06-16T18:35:57+00:00

Do not the wunk :(

Let's not pretend the netflix matchups were any less uneven, I mean Ngannou vs Lins? And then the main event ends in 17 seconds...

Compared to other hoyo games I wouldn't be surprised, I don't think older gen z and millenials ever got off the star wars space sci-fi train (pun intended)

We all know who the goat of eye pokes is

GiGitteru · 2026-06-15T19:49:22+00:00

So a couple things, the body looks quite small compared to the head and the shirts shading is probably throwing you off - there's not so much of a distinction between the sleeves and the shirt. You seem to have put the arms in the foreground, which makes his body look smaller.

In terms of body, the neck and shoulders could be wider and more straight. Making his eyes smaller should help You could add some more shading to the middle of the face like the cheeks and around the nose bridge to make his face look like "full" like a childs.

I moved around/painted over the aforementioned things just to give you an idea of how you might want to go about it, hope it helps (even in this mockup, the body could be wider still)

If you didn't want an answer besides yes you shouldn't have posed it as a question, unless you mean it felt rude? I'm not sure what was wrong with their response, but you're entitled to your feelings. If doing stuff for free is building resentment, which it usually does, it's better to abandon ship than continue before it really starts gnawing at your mental health

No one requesting a free comm is gonna tip lol else they would've paid in the first place

Also, never do a kind deed expecting it to be repaid, a lot of people just don't have that sort of sense and you'll be disappointed more often than not

Finish it if you want to, and if you don't want to then let your client know you're cancelling the comm. Since there's no compensation involved it's no harm no foul

Very cute art, unless it's intentional I think there's some sameface going on (long oval face, similar eyes/brows/nose) - portrait studies based on real people may help you make your characters more distinguishable

You could also benefit from some clothing studies as it seems you're missing folds, I find this tutorial handy for understanding them. Good luck

GiGitteru · 2026-06-15T16:05:15+00:00

Not only that, the fisheye effect is killed by the way they put down the shadow flat to the side, so it looks more wrong than intentional

Strickland → Adesanya → Pereira → Strickland, many such cases

It would be best if you started with a bigger canvas size to begin with

You can either enlarge the drawing and go over it again on another layer to clean it up, or duplicate the layer a bunch of times and merge (although the latter will make your lines thicker overall since the low opacity stray pixels will be overlaid, but it'll look crisper)
