Hello!

Love them all! Especially the stars in the third one and the light and shadow on #1. If I have any criticism it's that I would want the eye area to be lit a little more. I adore the look she's giving and I get that you have to seek a bit to notice, but it's a little too dark to make out (could be my monitor/screen). If not, pehaps a dim streak of light would work (aka old Hollywood lighting).



They call it 'Rim and "Shatner" Light' here with other examples

Your artwork is full of expression, it tells a story in the illustration.

Keep drawing!

I do want to get into motion design! Though the learning curve is a bit high I'll see how far I can get with After effects this year

[galled]

Looking forward to it!

I think one strategy is to nest layers (character with sub-parts sub layered--body, limbs, facial bits) and background and background moving elements. You can animate layers by adding motion! It makes so much easier to keep track of!

[ShiroGEM]

So many of my images broke with discord breaking external links Found a new service for image hosting though, so gonna add new stuff!

Cover of a Chinese song called Hong Jue for my friend's birthday 2 years ago! Tried out some slight character movement but not all the way since splitting the layers in my style was too tedious (and this took 10 hours to render on my potato laptop) haha
Cover of Days by Jin: Did some funky stuff in After Effects, another 3 day start-from-scratch project.
