Description


"One sentence is really enough: We Love This.
We really, really, really like how much detail it is here, and how Greta almost melts into the background and makes the drawing seem complete despite being ”a living creature”. 
What we mean by details: there’s thought out details everywhere! Look at the fabric of the clothing, you can see what kin of material it is and the different textures really brings the character to life! The really beautiful yet small print on the dress, which I can assume to be lace, seems like there’s a lot of (well spent) time put there. The quantity of leaves and the shadowing of every one of them (thus, quality) is high! It makes them seem almost 3D. Also look at the berries that each and everyone of them has a light-dot! 
And you cannot look at this drawing and NOT see the tree behind Greta. The lineart of it is very neat, and the tree overall is very creative with all the swirls and details. The highlighting and shadowing on the tree also makes it seem almost 3-dimensional.
And the birds: amazing!
There’s just a lot to say about this drawing that I cannot fit it all in here.
Greta: the soft hair, the expression, and the beautiful clothing (the braid stuck in the tree: another great detail right there!)
Not to mention that it’s all done by the traditional ways of drawing! Which means: no regrets allowed! 
                   Summary: This piece is just excellent! The idea of this being made by hand with papers and pens really amazes me, because frankly speaking I’m almost unable to draw if it’s not with my dear mr. Drawing-tablet! The warm colour theme fits Greta’s personality and with the tree in the background, it really feels like nothign is missing! Big congratulations for winning this contest!"

Entry for TheBananafly and  kyuubiXkitsune  contest
original character "Greta" by TheBananafly
ilustration concept by astgart

I finally joined the contest again, oh this is very tiring with those colors. I made ​​it hurriedly, because the deadline is so close.

well, I'll tell you a little bit. I basically like the elves, and the braided hair. The costume ..., I slightly modify, and change its color becomes brighter. about the tree, actually a form of sculpture mataram style with leaves that eventually resembles a tree. the last touch of flowers and birds, I love it XD.

My drawing tools:
Snowman Drawing Pen 0.1; Snowman Markers (24 Colors); Faber Castel Classic Colour Pencils (12 Color); Staeadtler Luna Permanent (24 Colors) and more colored pencils non aquarelle (just forget, and one of them not produced anymore >.<); Lyra Eraser for make the color effect.

I hope you like it, and thank you if you fav it

Waaaw....
I love every single drawing you do, even though it's not always the typical style/things I usually love TT^TT

awawawaw thank you sooo much.     
The tree that brings a different impression. it is a very old classic ornament (but not the oldest). I don't really understand the history. but still related with Borobudur temple >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borobudu…
what style/things you usually love?

ShiroAeon In reply to astgart [2014-09-06 02:27:45 +0000 UTC]

Well, of course I love nature things and landscapes, they're usually just so beautiful.
But in terms of characters, I like darker ones. The yandere ones, for example, or the psychopaths. (akkay... Sometimes, I just like the little kawaii guy... >u<'')
Also things related to video games, or stuff like that.
But here I think I was more talking about line style, you see? It seems to me that you are very inspired by Clamp, aren't you? ^^
Well, I like this style, but I really prefer for example Yuumei's style, or to take Mangaka's : Jun Mochizuki, Yana Toboso, Takeshi Obata and most of the shônen/seinen artists. (examples of mangas I love (apart from the artists I've named) : Tokyo Ghoul, Deadman Wonderland, 07Ghosts, Shingeki No Kyojin, Alice in Borderland, King's Game, (...))

Yeah, I love horror stuff, survival games and all these dark things, not really shôjo style ^^'
(here I'm talking about drawing and writing style ! C: )
However, I still love your works ! ^u^ (and elves... :3)

astgart In reply to ShiroAeon [2014-09-06 03:39:21 +0000 UTC]

dark style, horror and psycho are my favorite. I watch them >> Psycopass, tokyo ghoul, Deadman Wonderland, Shingeki No Kyojin, 07 Ghosts, Another, etc.. it's just, I avoid to draw them. most fanartist draw it, isn't it? so I chose to draw another ^^

aww thank you so much

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ShiroAeon In reply to astgart [2014-09-06 03:59:19 +0000 UTC]

Another and Psychopass *^*
(I actually more read than watch ^^')

Yeah, it's true. That's one of the reasons why I don't do much fanarts ^^'
Here in my gallery I seem to have only "nice" drawings, but there are a lot which are darker. What I meant is that the style I prefer is closer to these that I mentionned ^^ (even when I usually draw myself, but recently I've been drawing unusual things ^^' (mostly drawings for people/choruses/training. I posted them here so that the people could see it easily :3 ))

Another is very crazy scenes, but "Psycho pass" excels in story.

I think, I need to make OC sheet and with colors

 pertanyaan yang menohok!
aku udah tahu kontes ini sejak sebulan yang lalu, terus langsung cari ide dan referensi trus bikin sketsa pensilnya sekitar 2-3 hari. lalu.....aku mulai....ma------les dan melupakannya. tahu2 kontesnya tinggal seminggu lagi dan saya baru daftar H-6. itu masih belum di inking dan diwarnai. saya selesai mewarnai dan entry H-2 (hampir tengah malam). seharusnya kontesnya berakhir tanggal 30....  kemarin ternyata ada pengumuman kontesnya diperpanjang seminggu lagi
*T^T 4 hari dengan stres sampai kebawa mimpi dikejar deadline, ternyata kontesnya diperpanjang
jadi..., berapa lama bikinnya????? sebulan+males, kalau rajin seminggu.
btw makasih

Dibalikawan In reply to astgart [2014-08-31 05:16:33 +0000 UTC]

aduhh... sebegitu menohoknya kah pertanyaan ku? wkwk

tapi aku juga setuju~ yang bikin lama itu proses pencarian idenya dan rasa malesnya , gambarnya bisa dikebut hehehe...,
hasilnya udah bagus banget lohh>< semoga menang yaaa

astgart In reply to Dibalikawan [2014-08-31 05:30:12 +0000 UTC]

ahahaha, iya kalau ide udah dikepala bisa langsung capcus   
OMG sama yang namanya males, itu penyakit mesti diapain Q^Q
Ah ya, harus sepenuh hati, maksimal dan total. untuk tujuan apapun gambar2ku minimal harus maksimal. biarpun kata orang gambarku gak bagus, minimal kata saya bagus banget wkwkwkwkwkwk
*ceritanya saya baru sadar kalau karya2 saya yang dulu ngebosenin banget dan ide2nya klise.

amin semoga menang (saya lagi miskin XDDDDD), makasih dukungannya   , kalau menang aku mention hahahahaha

iya sama  , hahaha game itu anak buahnya males kali wkwkwk. satu2nya yang bisa bikin saya sadar dari males yaaaa cuma deadline  . kebiasaan dulu di club jurnalistik
ada lah yang gak puas, udah request...gratis...bukan watcher.... udah dibuatin gak trimakasih lagi, yah intinya dia gak puas hasilnya. kali ini saya cuekin dan masukin ke daftar blacklist, lagian masih banyak yang suka sama hasilnya. besok2 lagi saya gak mau berurusan dengan orang yang sama hihihi...

detail bukan segalanya, asal impactnya ada. kalau gak ada impactnya, orang ngeliat aja udah males. kan setiap seniman punya personality art sendiri2. hahaha...
gara2 miskin saya jadi contest hunter sekarang. ini proses ikutan yang ketiga kali.
