So I felt like doing one of those promotional poster pieces for #Artists-at-the-Ready if for any reason because I wanted to dig up some of my old favourite characters.
Soooo many of my guys didn't make the cut for lack of room so these are mainly main characters and stand-alone characters. The most shown from one story is 3 in one case.
NOW. To try to name them off in a coherent order. Starting in the top left, going to the right, higher character will be named first in the case of same horizontal position!
Aly - Ink girl Nereus - Centaur hermit Nephele - Centaur warrior & guardian Selena - Military experiment [back to the left]
Michiko - Samurai girl Faina (above) - Devil punk Jacqueline (below) - Knife-wielding bodyguard Alerane - Shapshifter mercenary Sterling - Journalist [back to the left]
Tara (mini) - General Veera - Living weapon (Variety: Morning Star) Michaeli - Military Experiment Spider - Street-fighter & arcobat [back to the left]
Velila - Skyrider & photographer Daniel - Rogue (battleaxe wielder) Haruko (name to change) - Street-fighter (twin short-blade wielder) [back to the left]
Me - the artist Felicity - Con-artist Finn - Engineer Lysander - Merchant & Ladies man Grikan - 'the pirate eater' [back to the left]
Ahh, so many characters on display! I get the feeling I'mma gonna be looking at each one of these ragtag bunch of misfits.. XD;
Though the composition seems cluttered and spontaneous, what with all of them clumping together in a heap of busy-ness... it's a bit too easy for my eye to get pulled into the middle and just stop, without taking in any of the details. I think I see you were trying to go for something like the charaters flowing out from your (drawn you's) mind and such... but it just doesn't really "flow" much, y'know?
Still, you got a real cast of snowflakes, here, both in terms of design and art style.
To be honest, I wasn't thinking too much about the flow since I was piecing it together collage style, though I probably should have. It was more an attempt at having myself have my back to them, unaware that they are there and they are coming~
But I'll keep it in mind my next big group composition. :3
