it's July 28 in my timezone (PHT / GMT +8), which means it's Bren's birthday!!
i forgor to post this in the morning (my brain's been filled with Miscrits earlier if you can see my first journal of the day in my timezone HAHAHA /lh)
this is also special to me since coincidentally, it's my half birthday!! and i love my boi Bren so much waaaaaaahh
sadly i'm unable to make some art of him today since i'm still slowly recovering from burnout, but hey, it's the thought that counts ^^
(i'll make up to you, Bren ;u;)
this is the latest art i made of Bren which i still love .u.
(also i'm not forcing Art Fighters to check this, but Bren also has an Art Fight page (and i'd really appreciate it, but again not forced)!! i don't think i can revenge for the remainder of the season BUT i will definitely get back to you next season!!)
of course this is assuming that the person would explicitly want their art to be critiqued. or, perhaps, when you're analyzing the art style/design of a game, for example. in particular, my case leans more on the latter.
i'm going to admit that i'm in no means a very expert artist. (i'm probably just in the intermediate level?)
i do have some knowledge of some of the art fundamentals. that knowledge isn't on a very expert level either, but probably just enough that i know that how i can use it to execute and improve my artworks.
the question just came up because i do want to put out my critiques for some Miscrits designs (which i have expressed in my previous journal), with more focus on the official Miscrits designs that came out only during the revival in Miscrits Reborn.
(slightly related, i have my own analysis notes of the original Miscrits' designs that i have since last year, and these notes play a major role in my critiques/comments. i'm still going to update those analysis notes!!)
i'm also doing this for myself and other people who might want to make their own Miscrits designs in the future. it can be helpful for other artists in general too, even if it's just for concept art.
i'm just worried that people might come bash me or cancel me just because i put out a well-intentioned critique despite not being an art guru T^T
DISCLAIMER: i'm still in burnout so don't expect too many attacks from me. but i will try my best to make my attacks as satisfactory as possible for myself ^^
if i couldn't revenge you this year, i will make up for it next year!
this is also a heads up that i have finalized a date on when i will switch midway! at some point at night in July 17 (GMT +8), i will join the ranks of Fossilized Fellows!
here's my profile again: https://artfight.net/~cillagon
here's my card again in case people missed it:
and yep, the character profiles of The Diamond Fellow and Shey are now up!
The Diamond Fellow has crystals (sorta), while dinosaurs are Shey's special interest!! heheheheh
(serious part)
also i'm going to address this since i'll feel guilty if i don't...
i did say at the end of my post-Art Fight 2024 journal entry that i'll be doing a "massive mass attack" this year... but it seems i won't be able to do it. i was really excited on the concept i had in my head last year so i blurted out my plans right away as early as August 2024, but i did not expect that i will still be this tired this year. so i didn't even send out the hitlist form for that.
maybe i'll do the mass attack next time when my energy is more stable. i'm really sorry for those who expect that from me this year T^T /gen
moving forward, i think it's best for me to not announce my intentions to make mass attacks (if any) since i don't want to overwhelm myself and disappoint other people.
though i will keep the concept in mind, and will still probably do it when i feel more confident that i will be able to deliver it.
