Ani's fanart and whatnot

OH MY!!! THIS IS AWESOME!

Thanks for the comments!

Another one from the ask blog. This one was so special, it got two parts!

Wanted to do a more realistic drawing/shading style, so here's Zelda as Sheik doing a sexy hairflip, or something.

I can't believe I did this on one sitting, FFFFFFF never again.



Comments/feedback is appreciated

Wow! It was really nice to see you draw in another style! It was more realistic than your other ones, but it still wasn't boring/felt like your style of art. Really loved the contrast between her clothes and the rest of her . It worked very well.

I wanted to do something happy and fluffy for once. Yeah, it surprised me too.



Feedback is appreciated

Here's another work in progress, from a scene in the 13th chapter of my fic, Who By Fire.

Zelda's hair is giving me some trouble.



Feedback is appreciated.

I think you are a good artist, I like your colouring style.

It's finally done x__x



Feedback is appreciated, I worked really hard on this one.

Pinkie Pie likes the picture as a whole, but the heads are excessive in size, Ghirahim's especially. They just don't fit with the rest of the proportions.

Looking back at the heads, Pinkie Pie must say that she doesn't mind Zelda's outside of the increased size, but Ghirahim's seems oddly drawn and doesn't much resemble his appearance in Skyward Sword.

I love the recent one you posted. Your skill's definitely progressing, and I like that you seem like you're trying to branch out of your comfort zone. I'm not knowledgeable about specific anatomy features and such, so the only suggestion I have pertains to Ghirahim's hair. It's sort of drawn strangely towards the bottom right of the right side of his hair, but it's not too noticeable. Could be the way I'm looking at it, not sure.

In any case, I didn't find any problems with Zelda's head in relation to the rest of her body. As for Ghirahim, his head looks normal to me. Maybe it's a little bit large, but I think that's just the way she draws him based on her interpretation of the character. Not all characters must look exactly like they did in the game. That would make for a boring picture. Besides, drawing Ghirahim exactly as he appeared in the game wouldn't have made much sense given the tone of the picture.

I must have messed around with his head a million times in this, and looking at it now, yeah, his head does seem a bit big in comparison to everything else.

As for resembling Skyward Sword, what do you mean, exactly? Do you mean just the size or how his hair is?

I've gone back and fixed the head sizes, as well as adjusted some of the colors.

Pinkie Pie means that the Ghirahim you've drawn doesn't much match this:

That's because I don't draw like that. It's pretty simple, really. My drawing style is different from the game style/official art. I consider my drawing style as a cross between anime and realism, hence my characters aren't always going to resemble the official art to a T. As long as you can recognize the character, I think that's good enough. The purpose of fanart isn't always to copy the official sources 100%.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

I actually really enjoy when fanart is drawn in a completely different style than the original concept! It's my favourite thing.

Antigone, I really highlights of the flowy hair in this. But the hair on the scalp looks a bit helmety? I am unsure what makes it that way, so I can't be of much help. @_____@
I love her nose. ♥

Thank you! Yeah, I agree with the helmet hair...maybe if I broke up her bangs a little, it would help? As for Ghirahim's, I was thinking that having his hair pushed back (on the part that doesn't go over his face) would help too. What do you think?

Just some doodles/concepts and such from my fic. I like how Zelda turned out in the center.

Because this is a doodle I'm not looking for criticism. Thanks
