Here's my first entry!! I'm not currently a member, so I'm not really sure how this will go. I love seeing everyone's entries so far! Great job, everybody!

I'm pretty new to this style of rendering. What should be fixed?? I'm open to any suggestions before I go ahead and enter the contest. Thanks guys!

I agree with what A.j. said about rim lighting. My suggestion for you would be to reposition the sword to be turned slightly upward to point at the tapestry. I think swords can be interesting leading lines, so you can use it to your advantage by having the sword's point leading my eyes to where you want me to look next.

Also I would remove some of the toes, they're giving the feet a sort of duck feet look.

Here's a draw over where I added the rim light, upturned the sword and edited the feet. Hope it helps! Good luck with your contest!

Hey guys! Here's a link to my newest YouTube video. It would be awesome to connect with you guys over there and become mutuals! Also, please let me know of any topics that I should do voice overs about to put alongside my art. Thank you!

Which thumbnail should I pursue??

Also this is my yeti for reference.

Thanks in advance everyone!! You are all super helpful and awesome C:

@NessIllustration these thumbnails look pretty solid! I would suggest integrating your preferred color pallet within the thumbnail. Your brand is so important, it should be stamped on your work as much as you can!
I can’t wait to watch these videos!!

Thank you so much everyone! I made as many edits as I could, but I think I could still push it further. What else needs to be changed/fixed??

I would definitely suggest more contrast. If you squint at the image and the whole thing blurs together, it needs more contrast.
Pretty good drawing though!

I would definitely join!! I need feedback all the time and a discord would be perfect for that.

@Евгений-Бондаренко Hi Evgeny! I'm Elisa and I've been wanting to draw comic books for a long time as well. My family moved right before Covid hit the US so it's been tough finding an art community in my area too. That's how I figured the svs forums would be an awesome place to find some artist friends!

I absolutely love your background ink illustrations and I'd love to show you my work-in-progress backgrounds for feedback! Right now I've been doing character commissions for Dungeons and Dragons players, so I haven't put a lot of focus on environments in a while.

Here's my instagram https://www.instagram.com/elimikoart/ I already followed you!

Honestly you’re really consistent with your content. Color is a big factor in brand consistency so I think you are right on it. And if you do decide to make a change to a different color, just make sure to keep that color for a few posts.

So I did a draw over for you on what I would do if this comic stays greyscale. I don’t know a lot about this scene or this character, but this is what I did to create more contrast.

It looks like your doing this traditionally and then scanning it in, am I correct? If so, I would watch a YouTube video about adjusting the value levels on your program before you add any value, to make sure that your lines can be as dark as possible. I hope this helps!!

This is awesome so far!! For a tech-savy yeti, I would suggest a mailbox that looks pretty industrial, like stainless Steel metal box roughy attached to some vertical stand. Or you could even look at a microwave or other kitchen appliances just for design ideas. It might look out of place at first, but you could make it match. Good luck!

@K-Flagg perfect, this is very helpful. Thank you!!

@carolinebautista I hadn’t even thought of that! Haha awesome, thank you for your help!
