I really liked how this character looks in this style, so I wanted to try my hand at a similar style. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. (: https://t.co/VpNlLnZKLA
And finally I attempted to copy the style of @veramundis. This style gets a lot of mileage out of a well defined silhouette and shading used to define anatomical features and the general 3D shape. It was a lot more challenging than it first appeared to me.
For this one I copied the style of Yanchek https://t.co/6Hdy8P8EIB and had a previous commission to reference again as well. Only through this study, I noticed that there's no blending between the colors used and the fascinating hue variations in uniform looking areas.
Next I worked with @stealthnacho's style. It has a very pleasant simplification and also reduces a lot of anatomical features. It's a challenging skill I'd like to master too, because of how well it distills the essence of characters and can present ideas without distractions.
My attempt at copying @wickedinsignia's style here was a big change to the previous studies. It has a much stronger focus on expressive shapes and putting feature in appealing size relations, but I also enjoy a lot how the fur is simplified in this.
Next I studied @BubbleWolf's style. This style has has a great mix of very fine details and large flowing areas. The use of fine brushworks makes the whole feel very defined without making it feel to cluttered. Although I didn't managed to capture the fine lines of shine here.
For this one, I looked at @sixfoot_ant's style. I commissioned a portrait from Sixfoot before and used it as a guide, but found it it challenging to capture it's intensity. Sixfoot used a mixture solid shapes and fine textures that's hard to imitate.
