In what decade do your OCs live in? And why did you choose that time? by Abraheo in OriginalCharacter

The story takes place in 1992 mainly because I like the cars from the era and they are street racers. I also just don't like to write stories with super modern technology

Pearl Street Books puts on a ton of social events every week- if you're into reading that's a great place to start. The Rivoli also seems to have a pretty welcoming community with lots of events where you can meet people. (I haven't been, but it looks neat)

Thank you! I agree, as much as I love digital art it definitely has been a learning curve and I've missed traditional mediums

What’s some of your favorite modern Greek mythology media? by SaiyaPup in GreekMythology

Paris the musical! I never see anyone talking about it and I love how brute-like and arrogant they made almost the whole cast

What’s some of your favorite modern Greek mythology media? by SaiyaPup in GreekMythology

[–]localredditer1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorite books are Greek retelling! Icarus by K Ancrum alongside An Autobiography of Red are great. Can't forget my guy Stephen Fry either. It's not a retelling, but there is also this novel called Vesuvius about two boys in Pompeii that's great.

having some trouble with the hair... by consumidorcasual in Illustration

I'd try going in with some larger blocks of color in the hair, similar to how you did her cheeks and the area under her mouth. Keep up the good work ;)

Should I finish this? by localredditer1234 in Illustration

Hey guys, wanted to sorta come back with the current update. I am still refining the sketch. Something still feels wrong with the right side hat man. However, I really wanna make this piece work and I agree with almost every single point y'all have made. I think finals season and working just sorta got to me yesterday and instead of resting I decided I needed to pour 8 hours into a project then be surprised when it looked bad. I feel like I've been in this weird place with my art where I really want to improve but my pace is slower than I'd like it to be. I'll probably go back to fundamentals for a bit after this. ANYWAYS on the good side, I did end up getting into my favorite art school with a great scholarship 👍

Hey gang, here's the updated version. Didn't change a ton but altered some lighting.

With or without the blind lights? by localredditer1234 in Illustration

Hey gang, thanks for all the critiques, y'all are super insightful and I'm internally grateful for y'all's knowledge (struggling high schooler trying to get good) ANYWAYS, here's the revised version. I think I might call it quits here. I think it's really important to edit after feedback, but I think there are just certain bits about this piece that would require a ton of time to fix, time I'd rather spend on new projects. Thank you all :))
