My Request Showdown [Season 1] Review
6 years ago
I have made a Thread over at the forums that asks to do requests.
https://forums.furaffinity.net/thre.....1-end.1664604/
And it was a success!
In less than a week, I have done 15 requests. Most of them coloured, half of them shaded. And only denied 1 Request.
My goal was to just, practice... I wanted to get in touch with myself and how comfortable I can get with whatever style im throwing out there. I definitely wanted a simple style, especially for requests so I can do easier and comfortable commission work later. (And judging from a good deal of posts in other threads, I want to say that I did provide some of the more higher quality products). However, I did get lazy here and there which to those that I have given myself to, I am sorry.

This one got the most attention from me, the requestee asked so elegantly and they painted a good picture using just a few elements and links which made my job very, very easy. I went overboard with it. Not as much as a proper piece that I would make, but I did put in too much effort into a simple request. I did like how it turned out tho, despite the minor specks of flaws in it.

This one really solidified me despite being the last. The owner of the character had an amazing design which helped greatly, I did not want to put any more effort with shading so I finalized it with this noise that made the image even warmer. It also helped not being too animalistic, or too cartoony with the face. Something in between feels like to give the best reaction.
The last one I am probably most happy with is

For being the cheapest yet most effective. Very little work went into the shading. Simple gradiance, and just stripes of light that resemble it coming through blinds. Giving an effective sense of shading.
I must admit, when I saw more and more people piling in on the thread, I did feel like things could go out of hand. But, it has not even been a week so I looked at the bigger picture and continued anyway. Now that I am done with all who have asked, I have to go into hibernation and think about my next Steps. I will be busy, but when im not. I will probably open myself up for commission work.
