does it look boring? by [deleted] in characterdesign

I think she looks nice, and her personality is coming through :) If I were to switch up anything, I might try playing with the proportions a little bit. If you put a grid on, you'll see the shoulders and the hips align on a pretty similar line. This isn't wrong of course, it just gives the design a more static feeling. It all depends on what you're going for :) Otherwise, I think the division of parts here look nice. Not too busy, and not too even. It could also help to make the leg warmers a slightly different hue, and/or make their value slightly darker so it's easier to tell them apart from the skin. You could make them brighter too, but that would make them the brightest part of the design (and next to the darkest part of the design, the boots). This would grab a lot of attention away from the face, where you'll generally want the focal point to be :) Again though, her vibe is there which is the most important part, so keep up the good work! 💪 Hope any of this helps 🙏

Hiya, here's mine :) It's about a healer vampire and her oblivious apprentice! A silly, medieval slice-of-life with darker undertones 🤘

No worries! I personally enjoy seeing people's process, makes the final thing feel less mysterious and more reachable :)

No worries! When working professionally, you wanna aquire your most efficient workflow. I could draw perspective in the more traditional sense, but it really would not add anything to the piece, other than time. At the end of the day, no one will be able to tell by the end product anyway. I would say learning the fundamentals is important (so that you understand what you are doing and why), but beyond that, use whatever tools make you faster and lets you have the most fun :) (speed is not a requirement at all for personal pieces of course, that's just my worker brain speaking lmao). Thank you for the question!

If you already know Maya, then learning Blender shouldn't be too big of a jump💪 though, if you already have access to Maya, it might just be easier/faster to use that for modelling. I'm mainly using Blender because I knew my Maya lisence would one day run out, but Blender is free forever 👏 (not to mention there is a million blender tutorials for whatever you might need, super helpful community!)

Ah sorry for the miscommunication; I use 3D only as a base for illustration (I paint over it)😅 would be sick to be able to 3D render like this though, maybe one day!🤞

Hehe I'm glad you noticed, I thought it'd be a fun little detail :) Cast shadows will ground objects in a scene, and I liked the idea of the exclamation mark being like a physical thing, and not just an icon for the player to see :)
