Artwork: Another Moment's Appreciation

Drawn By: WrittenDusk

While looking through my old drawings, thinking about what to draw next, I came across the drawing I named "A Moment's Appreciation". At first it didn't really catch my eyes, or spark any inspirations, but then I remembered that this was one of the few drawings, if not the only one, that I drew themed after myself. 

As I thought about it some more, I felt like it was the right time to revisit this idea. It was a great opportunity to compare and see the differences between the me, now, and the me, then.

The result is the above drawing. Obviously I'm better now then I was before... right? 

The main references I've used for this drawing will be at the end of this post.

I finished this in late January, but because I was really late with starting the Chinese New Year drawing I decided to hold on to this post until after Chinese New Year.

For this drawing my main objective was to include more perspective in my drawings. I didn't want start with anything too fancy yet, just something simple and effective. My other objective was to continue with more character design. I'm quite happy about the colours and the details on the clothing, but I would want to change the design of the collar next time; it just doesn't feel as cohesive as I wanted it to be.

As I finished the drawing I found my composition lacking impact, so I decided to change up my framing a bit. The one I prefer is the top one, while the bottom one is the original composition. I felt shifting the emphasis more on to the sword made more sense for the drawing and adds more impact.

What do you think?

A couple days late, but better late than never! Honestly not the best new year start for me, but it is just the beginning. There is still the rest of the year to look forward to!

With that out of the way.

Happy Year of the Pig! I wish everyone a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year!

Another theme I've been wanting to tackle for sometime now. The image of a knight with a stern resolve against adversity; inspired by Sabre from the "Fate" series. But I didn't want the character to be just a generic knight, I wanted to give her more identity, so I decided to do a modern medieval cross over. The results turned out much better than I expected.

It's been awhile since I've done an original character art, let alone something modern themed, so this was quite refreshing. It was a nice change of pace from the recent fan arts.

I'm pretty satisfied with this drawing, but if I were to change one thing I think it would be the pose. It felt like a good idea when I was drawing it, but it looked more awkward as started to coloured it. I think it's still okay, but it could definitely be better. It's not good that this has been a trend lately.
