Added 2020-06-24 17:31:01 +0000 UTCIts Beryl again, but this time in a much more personalized version.
So the idea here was to do something that would both be more my taste, as I put it "what she would look like if she was my own character", and at the same time try to target specific things according to the commissioners taste, which obviously is only possible when they align for the most part, which they did here.
I started out with having her naked but I quickly realized this one would really benefit from some clothing. The outfit (plus "headphones") really helps give her a lot of identity compared to the more generic look of the first one, plus extra detail overall. The arm/leg warmers in particular are similar to the ones Ive done before for my au ra but black, and its just something I love so of course I had to try adding them.
I also changed the hairstyle a bit to be longer on the left side and completely cover the left eye and that part of the face, and I think that adds to the look a lot as well. Originally I was going into it thinking I was gonna change it a lot more drastically, making it longer or whatever, but it looked so good like this I didnt even have to do any big changes.
Then I gave her blue nails to go along with the hair, which is another thing I dont do often since I generally tend to match the nails to the lips instead, but this also adds to that unique feel and looks great. And lastly yeah a bit of a light blue eyeshadow to finish the whole look.
The colors are really important in general and probably the stand out thing Id say. I really wanted to bring back the orange from the last pic since it contrasts so well with the blue, but this time I took it another step further by both going with a teal color for the distant background, and doing orange highlights on her body, especially the light hitting her back/shoulder.
You can actually see in the steps pic that I was totally undecided on what I wanted the background to look like until the very end, and thats why there is such a drastic jump with the last pic, because thats really how it went. I liked the day time version but it felt meh, Ive done that too many times already so it was a bit bland and I wanted something more unique, with more atmosphere to it. The night time look with the city lights in the window makes it feel a lot more intimate to me, probably because I am a big fan of being up all night as well, lol.
Oh and because I wanted to add some kind of gaming thing this time I also added a keyboard + mouse this time instead of a controller as I usually do, so we have some pc master race action going on. She has good taste, lol.
Anyway think thats it... Been drawing a bunch this week and pretty motivated again, so Im working on a bunch of things at once, mix of fan art and commissions. Will probably keep the same posting schedule for a while more to build a bit of a backlog but then I might speed it up again.

2020-06-24 21:40:36 +0000 UTCI'm back after a (long) while. :) Sorry I couldn't be around but I had some serious rl problems, which are now sorted out btw so I can now continue pledging and enjoying some quality art. And there's a lot to enjoy, I really feel that it's unfair that I'm going to comment on the most recent one only but I've missed so much already that it'd be quite a work. First of all, Beryl, although my top 3 remains the same, she became among my favorites from the start (she reminds me of certain "someone" :] but there's a totally different air about her. After such a long break it's easy to see, the contrast between the last few arts I remembered and the recent ones. The style is (imo) getting better while keeping all those things that were good in the first place the same, that's a really good balance. The leg/forearm warmers remind me of "Her" but the headphones, while greatly synergized with with everything else, creates a different, unique style for her. As for the hair covering the eye thing, it might sound weird, coming from me, but I was always neutral about that. It was pretty much Sora who helped me appreciate this style after seeing Kei's debut. Beryl's face is very captivating for me, she has a confident, yet "dreamy" look which really goes well with her. The only problem I could have are the only 2 (!) side buttons on the mouse lol. Might be just me though, once you get yourself a mouse with lots of side buttons, it's really hard to go back. :] But I digress here. I'd like to mention the background as well. There's something in the big cities at night that I really like, especially while listening to jazz/lofi stuff, it really creates a very calm and thoughtful atmosphere in a seemingly loud and busy place. Also the colors remind me very much of Amaurot (wouldn't mind introducing housing plots there lol). To make the rest short, Beryl is a real treat to look at. Great comeback surprise for me and definietly top tier on my "wanna see her again" list. P.S. I know it's late but congratz Sora on reaching over 200 patrons count, hopefully you can get to 300 (at least) by the end of the year. Also, thank you Lyn for remembering Kei, I was worried that she was forgotten. :]

2020-06-24 19:45:27 +0000 UTCI always like doing tail holes, lol its the only way it makes sense for them to wear any bottom clothing

2020-06-24 19:04:00 +0000 UTCYup, its one of those poses that shows almost everything youd want to see, and has that sense of depth which helps immerse you into the scene

2020-06-24 19:03:26 +0000 UTCSo first off... PC MASTER RACE! And then, wow. This pose is amazing. You get to see cleavage, that cute butt, and then the feet! This pick is really a package deal! I think you made a great choice with the clothing (including having it in general). And, as a fan of the cooler end of the color spectrum the colors you used are so pleasing to my eyes. Absolutely love this piece!

2020-06-24 18:37:13 +0000 UTCYep Ive realized I like hair covering the eye a lot too, need to try it on mine lol just a one off thing since I like trying different looks with her (edgy version basically) Also I didnt mention it before but a lot about Beryl (and the commissioners tastes) reminds me of Kei and since I wont be doing Kei anymore I guess Beryl will take her place now
