what's art

Decided to take a break from environment stuff and make a character. This is Aldric. He's one of my intended romance options, should this visual novel ever go under way.

This bad boi has gone through a couple different versions until I found myself content with it. I feel like I'm learning a lot every new scene I make. I am not fully in love with the style yet, but I think the more I go on, the more comfortable I'll be experimenting with lines (which should help the style??).

I didn't originally plan to have a bunch of climbing plants on these stone walls. Please don't roast me for the walls. They were supposed to be buildings on the same street but I merged all my layers on the town hall itself before I realized the doors were way too small in comparison to the stores I painted beside it (real life tears).

I've been playing around with style, trying to find stuff I really like, and I think that I like the lines on top of the objects as opposed to without. And I definitely like things that look not quite right, a little quirky in their design. Hopefully as I practice I can pick up the how-to on making it look that real quirky style.
