OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV

[Derjuin]

Did this up after reading/watching the current turn of events in Homestuck:



For some reason everytime I try to change the eyes they end up looking wrong, probably because OotS doesn't use pupils; that, and before she had glasses to frame the eyes, and now she isn't wearing any. I pretty much got tired of unibrows everywhere, so I'm trying out individual eyebrows. The wings are actually angled (or are supposed to look like they are) so they aren't sticking straight out behind her, or directly to the sides (mostly for avatar space savin' on the smaller version >.>).

yes, i might just be a little obsessed.

That is awesome. Also, you work fast.

Now, the eyes are somewhat, well, I don't really know. Vriska doesn't work especially well without her googly eye, but pupils are tricky to do with the OotS style. I don't really know what to say about that...

The individual eyebrows are interesting, but won't they sort of disappear when you reduce it in size?

There is no such thing as "too obsessed". Just charge ahead and be awesome.

Thanks

Reduced in size, you can still see the eyebrows:



I had to muck around with thickness (these are actual objects, not lines) and such to make sure they showed up in the smaller version.

[smuchmuch]

The feeets feel weird.
You have everything really detailled and appearing lineless (that is to say that he line work while here appears as part of the object rether than outlining it), with blue and black. And there you have those palin red with apparent thick black lines boots.They kind of stick out like a sore thumb (the right one particulary, her right that is).
Fashion Aside (Kanaya I'm not) the trouble I see is that they look like they are on a different plan that the rest of the avatar (like on the foreground.)
Maybe a darker shade of red would fit better ?

[AsteriskAmp]

Or perhaps a muted brown?

The problem with changing the colors is....well, her boots really are bright red.

Though, I am testing out lineless boots too. They do feel out of place with their thick outlines.

Edit: Unlined boots and horns, do they look any better?

[Teddy]

Personally, I like the lined versions better. Especially the horns work better with them, I'd say. Gives them a nice frame.

[smuchmuch]

Horns can go both way .(I personlay like them better unlines but that's a minor difference, probably because the balck line was rather unoticable on the black/dark blue colors of the hair and wings.)

But boots definitively look better that way, unlined and shaded.

The thing is, I don't like shadings on Homestuck-esque art, as Andrew doesn't use them. It kind of takes away from the intentionally sharp contrasts and implied contours that he uses...

[Ninjaman]

Derjuin, you are awesome. I also like the not-outlined version.

He occasionally uses shading - the two STRIFE pages use shading on both, and there are probably more than that (they were the two I happened to recall off the top of my head).

Well, those actually stood out from the rest a bit, but you're right (and I don't actually find it as bad as I may have made it out to be). However, he still didn't shade the shoes/boots.

[CrimsonAngel]

I just finished reading the comics. All of the comics. Now I know what the heck you people are talking about.

Now it's my turn to draw something... but i'm not at the right computer... and i'm hungry... and lazy...

[wxdruid]

Here's my latest. The same person, one covered up more than the other.





Thoughts? Comments?

[memnarch]

Looks very nice. Though the left hand seems a bit odd on the second image. I would guess that's because the fabric doesn't lend itself to showing where the arm is.

[Ninjaman]

First one lacks belly buttom

[KillItWithFire]

First one lacks belly buttom

Maybe it's because she was never actually born and simply willed herself into existance!

[Doorhandle]

Don't be ridiculous. that's impossible.
She's clearly a clone.

Edit: Made an avatar, putting it up for critique.



I always thought that Dwarf Fortress dorfs and angry marines would mix well.

On another note, I think I will make my avatars in more of a keychain-of-creation style than straight OOTS, but it doesn't show in this work.

Nice. And yes, they mix really well. Indeed, dwarfs in power armor is any Fortressists' wet dream. Try to separate the eyes from the beard a bit, though. It's hard to make out his expression.

Also, since some changes to the forum, your avatar must be within the size of 120x120 px, or they'll only show the upper right corner.

[Doorhandle]

Well, I kinda like the avatar like that.

and half the point of the Dorf Meheeen was that you couldn't see any of his features but his knotted eyebrows.

I'll consider it though.

[Ninjaman]

Quite nice doorhandle

[CrimsonAngel]

I thought you were complimenting someone's doorknob. Add a comma.

[Ninjaman]

That was the pun.

[Doorhandle]

That wasn't funny.

It didn't offend me or anything, it just it wasn't funny.

Back to semi-serious, here's another one.

Beh, looks way too prototype.
I think I might ditch the stick-style almost entirely, much like the author of the art-style this was based on.

Glow was photoshopped.]

edit: bah,I forgot the blue outline on one shoulderpad.

[Shadowleaf]

I drew my first OOTS-style character in a year's time or so. Look I was going for was terribly ugly (Charisma 4) Dragonborn Mongrelfolk. Be gentle.




Edit: Oh, and the weird things popping out of his forehead are teeth. They're supposed to look weird and out of place.

I like it. Try rounding the feet.

[Zefir]

So this is a new Version of my normal Taric Avatar. This one is mainly based on the chines Version of him.

Any comments?

The hammer looks weird (as in a weird angle) and the codpiece looks too flat. But overall, looks pretty good. Try improving the lines though.

[Zefir]

I think the main problem with the Hammer is the color. Its a bit to green and shinie. Shouldn't make it in two different files. And I'm not good with the positions. What do you mean with impoving making them thicker?

The reference.

I think making the lines thicker might help a lot. Especially the torso and arms.
