[Fellow: God of People]

Q: I really like the squeeze of the space and how much my eye is drawn towards the figure. After sketching the figure, how do you decide to frame and cut certain parts of the figure? Is there such thing as cutting off too much?

Beezims responds:

Aw, thank you so much!! I think cutting out some of the parts closest to the viewer(though not all of it) helps the illusion of depth/movement!! When sketching the figure, I thought a lot about the golden spiral or how the eye naturally moves on the page. I think when it comes to how much cutting off, it depends on what you want the piece to say! For example, I wanted to imply movement, so I cut off some parts to suggest they were just moving out of frame ^^ I hope this helps!!

[The Bullship Crew]

What a wacky but fun crew you got there.

Good luck on the open seas :)

ZeTrystan responds:

Thanks! Hoping that we survive! ahah

[speeding !!!]

I think they're more than speeding.

Really like the blues of the road with the viridian-ish greens of the car.

EDIT: Whoops! I didn't recognize it as phlatho green; learning about new colors is interesting. Yeah, it's an amazing color :) .

unibrawn responds:

phthalo green, one of my favorite pigments

[Caught Red Handed]

I don't know why, but this version of Garfield reminds me of a racoon.
I like how you used the blue-purple color as a shadow color, and it contrasts very well with the yellow spotlight.

ExtinctionArts responds:

Thank you :) I see it too lol

[Iridescence]

Despite the nice rainbowy colors, it's getting pretty dark near the ground. It's both joyful yet ominous. I would probably not want to camp there for the night.

[Team Fire]

The composition of the whole piece is really cool. My focus went from the front to the back like following the evolution of the little lizard to the big dragon. Great work :)

ocioilustracion responds:

thanks!

[Bear Hoodie]

Great work, and happy birthday :)

[Desperation of a Deity]

Despite being a bird-like creature, it has buried itself in a deep and dark hole. Spooky.

Winkwing responds:

Helo, I am under da ground, ples help me.

[I NEED THOSE KIRBY BALLS]

I really like the detail of the truck's wheels being that one Kirby enemy :o

[EX-LYD Album Cover]

The space makes it feel so vast and futuristic. I really like the squares everywhere like everything is made of moving data.

kittenbombs1 responds:

Thanks :) "EX-LYD" Makes 8-bit music, so I was going to that kind of digital feel.
