Hollow's Dump O' Art + Writing

[Hollow]

Thank you! I'm glad you're still enjoying my stuff!

Ack, but it's been a while since I've posted anything in here orz. I'll have to blame my school schedule/the SAT for that...

But here's a couple of things I've done~ Nothing too fancy, but it's something. ; b ;

Spoiler

...Wow, this file turned out bigger than I expected LOL But yeah, this was just a gift for a friend of mine~

A bit of cuddles between Zevran and my Warden. ; // v // ;

And lastly some doodles from a livestream, including a ladymanthing in the same quirked shoulder pose I seem so fond of. Sigh I really need to work on poses.

 

[Hollow]

Geez, I haven't posted here in a while... Huh. I guess I'll leave you guys with a couple of things. c:

(I'm not sure if this counts as a double post or...?)

Spoiler

These are some unfinished character designs that I'll probably scrap because I just don't like them. (And sorry about the image size.)

And then I have this little doodle practice...thing. Which is like ridiculously smaller than the others for no reason.

 

[PentagonBuddy]

Y'know, I find that I like the simple and clean designs you have! Though I imagine a lot of the simple in the most recent pictures is just because of being unfinished? Either way, there's something about it I like. In the case of the first lady, her neck seems too long/doesn't seem to really attach to her shoulders very well, while the braided dude's right leg is super bendy. I enjoy his butt knife. The second dude might be my favorite on account of HIS FACE. I enjoy his face.

 

[Hollow]

Oh, wow, thank you so much! And thanks, too, for pointing out those mess-ups; I don't think I'll be going back to fix these in particular, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for stuff like that in the future. c: Butt knifes are super great, though, and I really enjoy dude #2's face as well!

Ack, but yeah thanks a lot for your feedback~! /)* q *(\

For some more stuff, I compiled a gigantic sketch dump the other day out of sheer boredom. The art in it ranges from being a couple months old to fairly recent, and almost all of the things I've posted in the thread so far are in it, too, but there's also a crap ton of things you guys haven't seen. I hope you guys enjoy it!

(Like I said, though, the file's pretty big.)

Oh gosh, you have a ridiculously adorable style! I love getting to see all your in-progress sketches; they really tell a lot about how a person works, so it's cool to see that in-depth. ;w; I think the one thing I'd point out is that you have a lot of sameface going on; there are a few variations here and there, but on the whole, everyone generally has the same face shapes, the sameish nose shapes, the same eye-shapes...try to break outta that box! Make huge noses, or giant chins! It can really add character to your...well, characters. :>

I also agree with Penta about that guy; I think he's my favorite of yours, haha! Gosh the pretty long wavy ponytail hair, ugu <333 You have really fun character designs in general. :>

 

[Levi]

I love seeing all the distinct styles on here. Your's is very unique. Great stuff! I love that WIP portrait with the earring and lipring. :

 

[Hirei]

Man I loveeee your arts! Such an awesome grasp of anatomy. (Which I lack!)

Give me your art skills? ;p

 

[Hollow]

@Jalen Aw, thank you so much! ; v ; Yeah, putting together that sketchdump was just kind of a slap in the face of how similar they all look... But I took your advice and I've been playing around with different facial features, and it's a lot more fun than I thought it would be~ e b e

@Levi: Thanks!

@Hirei: Ahhh, thank you! ....I'll trade you mine if you trade me yours. > q >

Aaaaaand here's some of my favorite pages/things from my school sketchbook, plus a WIP concept!

Spoiler

Edit: Oh! And I almost forgot these, my sketches for the Daily Sketch Thread so far! c:

[Hollow]

Woo time to dump some stuff~ (If you follow the GMD, then you've probably seen most of these.)

Spoiler

 

[Hollow]

Eh, not much of an update here, but I did work on this wind elemental thing and thought I'd share. (Heads up for a bare-breasted lady)

Spoiler

I was going to fully color this, but it was like way past midnight by the time I finished laying out the base colors so I just did this. ; v ; )b

 

[Lunarea]

I love the movement in the picture, (that hair is gorgeous!) but I am not a big fan of her face - more precisely, her nose and mouth are too large. I think it translates a bit too masculine and seems at odds with her body.

I've done a really quick edit for comparison sake:

Spoiler

Though, if it's a stylistic choice and she's supposed to look more androgynous, carry on.

 

[Hollow]

Thanks for your feedback, Luna! I didn't even realize that, to be honest, but now that I see those two things side by side I agree. I think I've just been drawing too many dudes lately.    Anyway, I did tweak the image and updated the post with it. I'd love to hear what you think of the edit!

 

[Lunarea]

That looks much better! Her mouth definitely looks more feminine. And she has this dreamy look, like a half-smile. Very subtle.

Her nose is just a teeny bit short or a little wide, still. Maybe try lowering it + her mouth down 3 pixels or so?

 

[Hollow]

I updated the post again~ Her face does look a whole lot better now. 

 

[Lunarea]

Beautiful!

 

[Hollow]

Geez, it's been a looong time again. orz My confidence has just been so low these past few months and I didn't much feel like posting anything, but now I've got a butt load of stuff to show you guys. I'll put it all in a spoiler since it is a whole bunch of things.

Spoiler

And that's all from me for now!

 

[Hollow]

sigh I need to learn how to properly gauge my interest in a thing before I start drawing so I don't end up with all these I-call-them-WIPs-but-I'll-prob-never-finish-them thingies. o(-<

Heads up for a few really big images!

Spoiler

I also have these two cutscene stills to show (even though I'll probably be redoing them since they don't quite evoke the feeling I want them to).

 

[Lunarea]

I really love the first picture, with the stitches. Just looks like such a fun character.

 

[Dark Paladin]

Very nice. Wish I could draw half as good.

 

[Neverward]

Hey! I love your work, it's really something. As to your last picture, I am really glad that the old version of the girl was posted in an example by Lunarea so I could see it, but even though her face looks beautiful now I think I really enjoyed the character of the first face not every girl has a perfectly shaped nose, and some women are slightly more masculine, I think I liked her as much before as I do now. So all I'm saying is ;P don't bash the nose <3 lol!

But past that, I think you have SUCH talent I really love the post you made on '26 November 2012 - 06:19 PM'  the anatomy in your figures are spot on, I like that they have weight to them. They aren't sticky at all they have character and dimension (+ snazzy designs)
