(NSFW) Art Test - Round 2 Submissions (Patreon)
Content
Melow:
Melow has a great style and it was awesome that she left her comfort zone to try and match my style. I love the way she shaded BonBon's hair. Unfortunately though her posing is a bit stiff and it makes Bonnibel look like she's in an awkward forced pose. Also the shading is too airbrushed and soft, when I'm looking for a sharper cel-shaded style. Something seemed off in the way her face/eyes were done too... So overall, it was a good illustration but didn't match my expectations.
Mur Moruno:

I love Mur's stuff!! Cassie turned out beautiful, and Mur went above and beyond with the coloring/shading. I thought it was a bit strange that she ignored my cel-shaded style and took it further down her own style's realm but it turned out OK. It might sound like contradictory but this 'more advanced' cel-shaded style would actually work nicely outside of the game. Like in website/promotional materials and hopefully bookmarks/posters. It's such a cute rendering and the character is so full of life that I decided Mur should do a few more of our girls ^-^
Tonee:

I'm so in love with Tonee's style!! It's what I strive for with mine, but he just does it so much better than I can XD This is obviously a NSFW submission but it's good for showing his understanding of anatomy, etc. Personally I think he nailed the look/style and I'm just waiting on seeing the final-final to pick areas where he can improve, but it's a really fantastic looking art test. I hope he wants to collaborate with me on the upcoming Visual Novel! Scenes like this would be really great for the adult version of the game...
