Hi guys, posted this on the pbe, reposting here, vote up if you like!


i do agree that there are some things that should be fixed for the splash to be really good, but i feel its almost there.

**- the eyes: ** not only they are different, the one in the left of the picture, trist's right eye, looks perfect. the one in the right is too much separated from the nose and its shape is different and more fakely rounded in the lacrimal area. also she is looking too "up", i couldnt correct that last bit.

- the hip and legs: there is so much that is just anatomically wrong with this section of the pose.. the hips have to be directly pointing the gun for her to have the legs remotely where as they are now, yet the chest and her belly are pointing at least 90 degrees out.

this is not "poetic license" for art sake. this so much more that it just feels wrong, and makes your brain know that it is a drawing, and distracts your mind from the energy the pose should be making you feel.

makes your mind try to find the mistake instead of letting the image grow in you. same goes for the eyes.


i work in graphical stuff, mainly in 3D animated graphics, where i work on rigging in 3dsmax, but as many of us, i am a generalist... (working at this for 10 years now)

so... i took the liberty to make a fix for the eyes that made me feel like a great improvement, plus i moved around the light on the hip and the left leg just until it didnt felt SO wrong.

by all means, my work may not be perfect, specially in the legs, as i didnt draw anything on top, i just moved stuff around the best i could and left it as clean as i could..

**please, please, please.. **change the eyes at least, the legs.. i dont know.. wtv... is the face i relate too and its the most important thing to get good..

Not bad fixes. Small fixes like these are ones that are usually really good and make it ot live.

I don't know why Rito is so against showing their girl's muscles, but with a pose like this you can't make it look good without at least hinting at her arms' muscles (she's holding a cannon with just one hand, ffs!) and her abdomen (does she have no ribs??). I mean, have you ever posed like that: chest up, shoulders back, hips rotated? Anyone who is moderately fit will have their lower ribcage and abs hinted at least. I don't mean a sixpack (which Trist doesn't have), I just mean hinted. A couple faint shades here and there and you're all set.
