@darktiste - Thanks! I definitely will be posting more of 'em. I Also want to try to improve at a more anime style as well too.
@Yamsinpajams - Hey, thanks! Hah, yeah, the cartoon character pieces I did in my previous post where mostly inspired by Tex Avery and Cartoon Network shows from the 90s. Also, hope those sources helped you out some.
@cgmythology - Thanks! Seems people like the cartoon stuffs, I'll definitely post more stuff like that. I use to make little animations for fun years ago using Toon Boom which I got with my old Wacom Bamboo Tablet. That got me into doing lots of cartoon studies (and a bit of anime stuff too) several years back. Maybe I should try posting some little animations on here in the future.
It's been quite a while since my last post. But I have finally finished this art piece, which I kept track of roughly how long it took, and it came out to about 145 hours and that is a bit on the low end, since I rounded down some time spent on it. I really need to speed up my process, a major issue I had making this piece was at around the mid-way point the file was getting big, making things slow down, and by the end it was painful. Took me about 4-5 solid minutes just to open the image. I definitely need to reduce the dimensions quite a bit and start merging layers more aggressively going forward, I got up to 360 layers by the end. But besides that I think I spend too much time detailing unnecessary things (like in the background or detailing the entire subject instead of just areas of focus) and going over every part of each object making sure the edges are crisp and sharp. Zooming far in adding details that probably wont be noticed or just flat out cannot be noticed unless you zoom 400% in. Then on top of that it doesn't even matter because the image is so massive I have to scale it down so much that any of those said details are now lost unrecognizable blurs. So I've added some close-up shots lol.
But with that said, overall I like how the end piece came out. I tried out adding some effects - the motion blur, action lines, sparks, and electricity effects. The only things I am a bit iffy about are the spark effects, and the perspective on the droid might be a bit off in spots, and if the motion blur effects on the creatures' blades and in general are too much, or too little.
