I checked the links and damn! Outrage and Fisheye are probably right up my alley. Fisheye the visuals! Holy cow, loved the datacube head split. I gotta say the mask is Darker than Black rip-off lol. Outrage! I'm gonna read!
The first page with the non-planet world you mention reminded me of what happens in the 100th! Ha, gotta love those. I would say designing the flora and fauna would be a challenge, to make it both interesting and alien-like, but still fitting inside an ecosystem. Maybe I overthink things!
Oh noes! Bird stole my heart, damn! The emotion, love it. 2005!? So long ago... when did we get to 2020!? I want my time back.
About Shunran ha ha! Happens all the time! People get similar ideas even when they don't know of each other, there's a term for that but I can't recall. Honestly you shouldn't feel the need to change it but yeah, some people might judge it because of it, whatever comes after. But there's no truly original idea so just put a nice spin to it, or make it fun! And that's all.
Well making something all that complex can be a challenge to keep readers on point, tough call. Complex morals, character dynamics and goals, world that is not easy to grasp, enemies that work in a never seen before way, focus could be split too much. I dunno though! Until you see it at work, only you can imagine it. Ha.
Chloe I would say, make her design a bit more plant like, like if a character focus is to be something, just giving it a green color and making it a normal shaped person, is a bit boring to my eyes. Have some nodes or growths or plants or just change the silhouette. Once you have that then, go into making gestures, because it will affect the way she acts. Like if she can't do an action or an action affects something about her, like if she had a growth of some plant, it could change shape with her emotions or add to the action, or i she doesn't actually have feet or hands, can't do certain actions and you must act them out differently. Designing a character is always tough to me though.
Interesting point, I actually relate with what you mention with studying. On the one hand when I started doing studies and painting back in 2013 it was a terrible time and got burned out, lost all my drive to draw alongside my arm lol. Doing personal work is more engaging and fulfilling, to me at least, but also having been a while since I have done serious studies I feel I need to find a balance once again. Depends on your goals and what you want to improve at, other things will drop a bit. But so long you can tell there's stuff you can improve/work at, then is good, because you have goals and targets to hit. Is actually not knowing what's wrong what is scary, because if something doesn't work you don't even know or understand why, man, that is hell.
Okay! Picking studies! I would say try to make shapes a bit more clear than just blobs, but not too detailed, if you want to go for analysis, just make them a bit more characteristic? If that makes sense, or geometric. Anyhow, keep it up! Let's find the way to make this work!
I also apologize, I feel I should be giving you encouragement and some more positive comments on what you have! I would say the dryad with the creature near the fire pit and the 3 panels following are the ones I like the most, for composition and color choice!
