AETHERREVIVAL'S PROFILE

What am I reading? Pyramid_Head's post~


Haha~

Ahem...... I've been reading 'Bullfinch's Mythology: Age of Fables' and also his 'Age of Chivalry' books.

I'm not as good at reading as I used to be. It seems the only thing I can sit down and read are folk and fairy tales.

Definitely some talent here but it could use some work, overall.

No, I know I need work, but hey, that goes without saying! Everyone grows everyday, and the more we do, the more we improve.

And notice more problems we have to fix, but that's the joy of it~

You fit a certain trippy/surreal niche that I think someone might pay for, but not sure if it's exactly worthy of selling just yet, unless your prices are low.

Now, I will have to object to this.

Back then, I used to look at my work and think this, but after wondering about it for some time..... When is anyone really ever actually 'worthy'? I've seen a lot of different kinds of art presented in today's media, be it mainstream or indie, some I like and others aren't crazy about (and vice versa), and it makes you realize that worth really is an opinionated matter.

Judging ourselves as 'unworthy' is comparing ourselves to someone else's ability, which is something I would advise not getting in the habit of.

They can work like them and you can only work like yourself, and because of this, I intend to price my work the way at a normal rate. After all, if someone comes to me, it's because they see what I do as worthy for what they want. The same would be so if someone came to you for work.

Don't get me wrong, you're waaaay better than I am so take my words with a grain of salt, because I'm no artist. I'm strictly speaking from a developer that is interested in purchasing custom assets. So like I said, you have a niche and that might be something you want to stick to and improve upon.

edit: To repeat myself here, those stylized works are excellent and would like to see more of those! :D

My main drive is to just keep improving on the artistic world the way I see it, so if my style experiences change, it will only be from personal growth.
My sub-mission is to remove those sloppy stroke lines. Maybe it's because I draw in a small space with large files, I don't know, but I swear I never see those things when I'm actually working on my pieces. It's really frustrating, but I'm going to work those out.


I really appreciate the time you've taken to give me creative criticism. Whether you're an artist or not, it's really helpful seeing different ways that my work can be viewed. Thank you~



P.S. Fortunately, I actually wound up liking stylized art, and I intend to make some more. It gives me an excuse to use those sloppy strokes!

I've actually just started playing Dark Souls. I have the 2nd on 360 and the first on Steam.

I'm thinking about buying the 3rd one when the price drops. The first two should keep me pretty busy until then.

Wow, this is a really extensive list. I've done some casual research here and there, but I don't think I would've even thought to look up half of the names posted here.

Nice work, and thank you very much~


I'm copying this down in notepad though; I don't think I can rely on my memory to keep all of these names locked away!

Fire Emblem has been used a bit much in Super Smash Bros., but since those characters have become very popular over here (with RPG players and Bishie lovers), it only makes sense. I would prefer a couple more Pokemon myself.

And a couple of more characters from Nintendo's other series. Again, that would be a terribly long list, so I won't go into that.

I would have preferred characters like Toad, Simon Belmont, Bomberman, Master Higgins, Captain N, or hell even Birdo. E: or Erdrick/Loto and Rocket Slime from Dragon Quest.
E2: or a Splatoon squidgirl. That would have been cool and unique!

Wow, I like this preference list! As a Toad fan, I've always preferred that Toad would have more of a use than a bullet reflector.

And a Belmont would be great. I would've preferred that Konami would've used one of them instead of Solid Snake. While I would prefer Richter or Trevor, Simon would probably be the best ambassador choice. Him or Alucard(Though he would be another sword guy).

Bomberman would be simply amazing. I feel in love with that game, and I like the character, so yes! Besides, he would have a unique move set with all of the bomb techniques. You could play him tactically, like Robin.

Master Higgins and Captain N really are obscure here, but I completely agree. They both deserve a little more love from fans! As long as Master Higgins was given a shovel and his island gear, instead of sword and armor.


P.S. Birdo would be cool, but I'd still vote for Lord Fawful over her. Besides, they might make her a Yoshi clone, what with all of the similarities they share in the sporting games.
