Hello =) I was advised to put finished artwork here, and since anything I'll be uploading recently will be original work, I figured that this is probably the right category to put this thread in.  Here's something I finished last night! It's the first thing I've done that I like enough to consider putting it in my portfolio =) |

 Something else I've just finished! This one took me three days because I kept getting bored. :'3 |

Oh, these are super cool! I really like the lighting, especially in that second one, with all the coloured highlights from the flames -- they're so bright against the shadowed rest of the figures that they really give that sense of heat. Maybe some of them could be more flame-tinted, to increase that effect? Like, the light from the fire is orange, and that doesn't create the same colour highlights as white light does. I like the composition, too; that first one does a cool perspective trick that's quite hard to pull off, where it sort of distorts space to fit in what's happening at ground level and high in the sky in one vertically elongated field of view but without it looking too distorted until you actually stop to think about how it is you're managing to see all of this. The second one, too -- I forget what artist I'm thinking of here, but there was this one illustrator whose figures are almost always drawn with one arm out and one curved behind their back and made into a fist to balance it, and you know, it's the same trick every time, but it works. There's something of that here, with the way the character on the left has twisted their body around to counterbalance the ray gun they're levelling at the other. Plus, you know, the difference in postures -- the one upright, dominating, full of sharp angles and straight lines; the other hunched, hesitant, rendered with soft edges and gentle curves -- which really brings the moment you're dramatising here to life.
Anyway! Yeah, I like these a lot. I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for us!

I really like the pallet you have used in the drawing to represent the night time. It feels like oil-painting style colours in my opinion, which are always nice to look at for sure. I am not too sure who the character is, however, they really seem to fit in nicely in the image. The background is well shaded and pleasant to look at. My favourite aspect of this picture however, is the moon. I love the way it has been coloured.
