Naean Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Art #53 -- Branches of foliage. This piece has various sources of inspiration. One source of inspiration comes from my desire to do a more full-fledged take on drawing plant life. I quite liked what I did in my previous piece, called "Chunk of nature.", and was eager to expand upon that. Another source of inspiration comes from the Unravel video game, and all of the stunning detail its level environments have. This piece was particularly influenced by the plant life from the Berry mire level. Additionally, the rope on the middle branch references the similar type of material that Unravel's playable character Yarny is made of, and also references trees in reality which have had ropes hung on or wrapped around their branches. This piece also has a little bit of influence from Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. The tendril coil on the middle branch, and the large spotted mushroom on the bottom branch, are directly inspired by gimmicks in Mushroom Hill Zone. Art #54 -- Against the grain.

Naean Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Art #55 -- MentumAuris Feline Hybrid. There are quite a large range of inspirations behind this piece! One of the biggest inspirations behind this piece was the fact that my previous animal-based piece, called "Friendly Fins.", turned out much better than I had anticipated. As a result of that, I was eager to try drawing another animal-based piece. Another large inspiration behind this piece, and the starting point for it, was to draw a cat body, as they are one of my favourite animals. One of my family member's cats, who had black and white markings, and is sadly no longer alive, was lying down on my lap for a significant amount of time while I was drawing this. As such, this drawing has quite a bit of sentimental value to me. As the drawing progressed, I incorporated visuals inspired by various other sources... The size and styling of the spikes on top of the head are inspired by the spikes on top of the Zomom character's head, from the Sonic Lost World video games. The eyebrows and fur tuft on top of the head are inspired by the eyebrows and fur tuft on top of the Crash Bandicoot character's head. The fur curls at both sides of the head are inspired by the curls at both sides of the Classic Miles "Tails" Prower character's head. The muzzle area is inspired by the muzzle area of the Sonic The Hedgehog character's head. The size of the ears, the ears' inner fur tuft, and the spacing between the ears, are inspired by the ears of the Braixen character from the Pokémon series. The outer tufts of fur on the bottom tips of the ears are inspired by the ear tufts of the Sticks The Badger character from the Sonic The Hedgehog series. The tuft of fur on the bottom of the head, inbetween the ears, is inspired by goatee style beards. The accented tip of the tail is inspired by the tip of tails seen on foxes. The fur patterns themselves are inspired by those seen on black and white cats, however the smoothness of those patterns are inspired by markings seen on cows. Mentum is the Latin word for chin. Auris is the Latin word for ear.

Naean Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Art #56 -- Gloopincerig. The pincer is inspired by the pincer on the front of house robot Dead Metal from the Robot Wars television shows. The gloop is inspired by the gooey elements of the Goodra Pokémon. The satellite dish styled element is inspired by some similar elements from one of my previous pieces, called "Aquatic Architecture.". The name Gloopincerig is a portmanteau of three words: gloop, pincer, rig. These words represent the main items in this piece, with the word rig referring to the overall mechanical structure. Art #57 -- Cryptic cracks and curls. Some elements of this piece are influenced by one of my previous pieces, called "Abstract Combinations.".

luisniko Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Wow, this thread literally becomes your personal showcase website. I feel like I got to write my feedback here just so at least you have a reflection to look and consider. But since I understand artists can be ultimately fragile, I'll put my comment under spoiler tab. Feel free to read or not. The point is that my comment is not to amuse you or to bash your work. I see most of your works here involve patterns, abstract art, and symmetry art. I understand what you are trying to achieve, whatever the artistic reason may be lying under your artwork. What I would like to talk about is the delivery of your ideas. All of them looks whacked. Skewed shape, asymmetrical symmetries, overly chaotic abstract, unstable lining kill your arts - badly. Not to mention the way you wrote and design some of the titles, the way you draw the box for the 'published date' are completely un-presentable. My suggestion to you would be to try to use technical tools such as shape ruler and compass. Lastly, write the title neatly. No need to force fancy typeface, unless you know how to make one that collaborates with the art. You may put the title together with your name or signature on the bottom right hand side, while keeping their size within the necessary amount. Let the picture be presented first before the viewer's eyes finding the title/name.

Naean Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Art #62 -- Rural decadence. A drawing that I have done on page 3 in my Daler-Rowney A4 Optima Spiral Pad. My main inspiration behind this piece is from the various nature oriented pieces that were painted by Bob Ross in his television show The Joy of Painting. In fact, this piece was drawn entirely while watching and listening to episodes of the show on Twitch's website. The page for this can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/bobross. The blue and purple colouring at the bottom portion of this piece is supposed to represent the sea, while the blue colouring at the top of this piece is supposed to represent the sky. My attempt at drawing the sea and sky didn't come out nearly as obvious as I would have liked, but I still am very fond of this piece overall nonetheless.

Naean Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Art #63 -- Glass Stained Abstract Pane. A drawing that I have done on page 4 in my Daler-Rowney A4 Optima Spiral Pad. There are two main inspirations behind this piece: One is blocky abstract art, and the other is some stained glass that I have seen on some buildings in my city's town area. I thought that it would be interesting to combine these two elements together. Additionally, the shape of the encompassing black frame is inspired by the shape of the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system logo.

Naean Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Art #65 -- Native Nature Nurture Guardian. The hair-esque ears have a combined inspiration from 2 sources: one of them is the hair on the Bubbles character from The Powerpuff Girls franchise, the other is the ears on the Milla Basset character from the Freedom Planet video games. The eyes (Except the pupils.), nose and mouth are inspired by the faces on characters from the Happy Tree Friends series. The muzzle is inspired by the muzzle on Miles "Tails" Prower. The heels are inspired by the stick of the Braixen character from the Pokémon series. Also, while not a deliberate inspiration, the left and right sides of the waist are also likely to be subconsciously inspired by the waist of that same character.
