DNLINK Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 I redid one of my original paintings from Nsider2. Thought I would show the changes my work went through from when I first gave painting a shot to how I'm doing nowadays. Doc Brown, Kodiack, GENERALBEATRIX and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

DNLINK Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Thanks guys. Glad to finally take the time to make the move here. Quote Link to comment
Shulk Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Wow the changes are amazing! I love the shading details. So much depth. Glad to see you over here now ^_^ DNLINK 1 Quote Link to comment
Bowser81889 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 You really inspire me to want to take the time to move here too. I've been wanting to, but haven't gotten much of a free moment to actually do so. My own thread could probably do with some real updating considering how many broken links are in my posts at this point. Thanks, Imageshack. Anyway, enough about me. I'm so happy to see you joined and started anew! I've commented on this recent piece about twice already, but again...always love your devotion to the subjects you humbly illustrate with great pride and care. You've always been one of my favorite fan artists thanks to your modesty and impressive skill set you've honed in on over the years. Progress really speaks well enough for itself.

luigitornado Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I might not always comment, but I've enjoyed seeing you improve all these years. DNLINK 1 Quote Link to comment
DNLINK Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for all of your support. It means a good deal to be able to come over here and see that there are users here who still enjoy my work and have had the patience to watch much my work improve over the years. I especially appreciate the encouragement many of you have offered me over that time to keep on painting. I've had moments where users didn't hold back and told me that my work was dull, inaccurate and even hopeless, but I've been fortunate to have a group of you keep urging me to keep moving forward, and for that I'm grateful. Here's to more years of paintings and whatever the hell else I'll stress myself over trying to learn. Deku and Bowser81889 2 Quote Link to comment
Bowser81889 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'll toast to that, dude! Happy to see you keep on moving forward no matter what anyone says. Cheers! DNLINK 1 Quote Link to comment
nipple Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dedede is the best one. Most of these look very flat and lack volume. Also brush up on your anatomy. yeesh Quote Link to comment

DNLINK Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 A group that runs a Final Fantasy convention just reached out to me and asked if they could feature one of my early practice paintings for the complimentary display book they'll be handing out. Really nice of them to offer the chance to be featured. Doc Brown, Deku and Bowser81889 3 Quote Link to comment
Bowser81889 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Cool, congratulations! I'm really happy for you, getting the attention you rightfully deserve. Quote Link to comment
Lucina Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Everyone looks so refined and elegant. Thanks for doing Lucina! I always love good art of her character. Very nice work. Edited November 13, 2016 by Lina Inverse Quote Link to comment
DNLINK Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 @Bowser81889Thanks a lot man. The convention is called KupoCon and will be held in Newark, New Jersey and London, UK. @Lina InverseThanks for taking the time to browse. I like classical portraiture. I want to try a video game approach to still lifes and landscape at some point. Bowser81889 1 Quote Link to comment
DNLINK Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Started work on this yesterday on Saturday and finished it this afternoon. I needed to rush it for a contest deadline held on DA for a Kubo and the Two Strings contest. Still haven't had a chance to even watch the film yet. I've noticed a few needed changes, but they're quick fixes and hopefully I can paint those in after the contest is finished.

I'm kind of curious why you went this route when the contest also said that you could also make a piece about overcoming a challenge/struggle. Still looks awesome either way though.

DNLINK Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 @Kirbymeister2Well, the premise of this is the struggle of having to learn your craft or skill. If you notice Kubo is surrounded by paper balls and shredded paper. The idea is that this is when he's trying to understand his art and along the way he's faced several failures and frustrations in doing so. I figured a lot of users on DA can probably relate to that.

That's a very interesting background that you put in the piece. I thought you get it just because it had Kubo in the challenge but you went with something completely else different that I thought . Well anyways I hope it seems pretty awesome and I can't wait to see if you won the contest or not Quote Link to comment
