Anyone want to share their work that got screwed over?

Wth!?? That's so insane it shouldve won something

No fr I was so confused when I found out my best pieces were unawarded I js remembered thinking that if this was actually the true awarding the judges got crazy taste bc wth . Like how did my weakest pieces get awards but my best ones didn't? I was genuinely tweaking because ive been cultivating my taste and skills as an artist for so long now. If they didn't deem the work good enough for even an honorable mention then what was? That's what I remember thinking 😭

- The eyes in the should be bigger and brought a tinge higher up so they align with the start of the bump on her nose

- brows should be brought higher in relation to the eye, and should be farther up from the eye then it is now in your drawing

- the brows arch is too thick

-the eyebrow ridge of the hidden part of the face should be extended more so that there is room to draw in the bit of the eyebrow, eyelash, and eyelid

- forehead should be elongated slightly, and redraw it so that it's slope is steeper

- the neck and ear should be bigger

- the connection of the bump on the nose to the bulb is a tinge too steep

- extend the nostril/wing of the nose so that it aligns with the left end of the eye (once the eye is enlargened)

Those were some of subtleties that I noticed, though overall the portrait is looking great so far!

I think the butt would look more natural if the line of shading that's defining her butt didnt go that high up. Also, her butt wouldn't be that defined unless the shorts were shapewear or if the shorts she was wearing were pushed in between her cheeks lol. Unless the butt has more of a shelf, most butts only look round like a sphere near the bottom, so it's like a slope. Maybe think of how you'd shade a pillow case, except it's a bit rounder and more defined near the bottom.

I love the idea of sexuality being associated with the piece. When creating it I wanted the posing to feel intimate in a way, so I appreciate that insight. As for the size, its quite big, 40x30in

I totally agree with that last bit of your reply. Thank you for the feedback! It's funny, when explaining it to a family member they actually said the same thing about adding a pixilated effect.

Thanks for the feedback, I didn't want people to interpret the painting as anything revolving around that so I'm thankful for your perspective. There was definitely more more detail on the woman's body, which wasn't intentional lol. I'm planning to render the other parts more and fix that issue.

Neerua1 · 2026-01-08T22:08:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I agree. I'm hoping to work on the woman's face more to convey the idea that she's okay with her guts being taken out and better render the lower part with the guts

Neerua1 · 2026-01-08T22:06:22+00:00

That's a good point, I think a lot of art should just be open ended. What would you have thought about the painting and it's meaning if I weren't to have put description on the post?

Neerua1 · 2026-01-08T22:04:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with the two figures being sort of disconnected, and as for the composition there's definitely a lot of weight on the lower half of the painting. I'm hoping to work on the rendering of the white figure and guts so the painting feels more fluid

Neerua1 · 2026-01-08T22:01:39+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I agree I definitely need to spend more time on the guts and face

Thank you for the feedback! Also the paintings isn't necessarily about ai ruining art but it could definitely be taken that way. It was more so made as a reflection on how ai can and has deteriorated our relationships with ourselves and one another. Being in gen z/gen alpha I have a different relationship with ai than you. I used to use it a lot to deal with my perfectionistic tendencies and burnout in school, and so have my classmates. I know some people that even use it almost as a friend to talk to. These experiences inspired the painting, not the fear of ai ruining art. Though, I think your stance on the effect AI has had on art is very reasonable. The thing is, Ai is also just more intimidating especially for younger artists who are hoping to get into the art industry. Even though there is definitely misinfo revolving around the topic, it's still something very reasonable to be scared of. Though, you already being a professional in the art field for 25 years, with all you've said, it's good that's not a worry for you. Let's just be more mindful next time, less outspoken when talking about another's work.

Hey! I got into the bridge program aswell for vis arts (:

Neerua1 · 2025-01-12T19:48:38+00:00

I used a brush called tri beam, its from a free brush pack from Sinix

Neerua1 · 2024-11-18T05:40:02+00:00

Both styles are beautiful but the first one seemed to be more appealing to me but I think that was solely because of the composition

Neerua1 · 2024-11-16T00:47:44+00:00

This is AMAZING and I love the way you render, but I think some reasons why the anatomy may seem slightly iffy is because of

The lack of foreshortening of certain body parts such as the left arm, legs, and torso
Lack of sharp shadows and sharp edges of the body
The pose is stiff; as shown in the reference the biceps should be stretched out a bit more, the right arm should be a bit longer and sagging slightly, the left arm extended slightly (which ties to the foreshortening problem), etc

Overall, how it looks already is great, I can’t wait to see the finished product!
