For ~katimus-prime! 'Cuz she loves Cherenkov from Xenosaga and whatnot. I wanted to make her something and also practice some painting (multi-tasking!), and I think I've come up with something I am really happy with. I like this sketchy style--it feels more lively to me. Loose brushwork, very relaxing!
Also Cherenkov has a delightfully hatchet-y face, apparently. Not sure how accurate that is. I still always picture him as a 50 year old in the 1970s, which is kind of weird, but that's what influenced his depiction here.
I like it! I hope you like it, Kat. I know how much you like the guy, I hope my weird depiction of him is pleasing to you! lol
COLOOOOOOORSSSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE IT. Stylistically, I think this is going in a very good direction for you. It's loose, but not unfinished, and yet still good-looking enough to be 'called' finished, but not extremely polished. I look forward to more like this if you're very satisfied with it!
Thank you! It's so good to hear things from youuuuu. <3
Honestly, my art prof's comments about my sketches were really encouraging on this front, since he liked how...I guess emotive they were? And then we talked about Franz Hals in art history, and he made really lively portraits by using really loose brushwork, so I'm thinking this is something I really want to do. It's much more comfortable. ouo
It's Cherenkov from Xensoaga! OMG, I'm so happy I came across this! There is seriously not enough love for this guy.
