SO... I just finished reading...Simply, the most AMAZING Portal Fanfic in EXISTENCE. This is my version of a poster for that fiction.

I'm sure lots of you have already read it, but if not, PLEASE go read Wafflestories's "Blue Sky" [link] OMG SO GOOD.

Anyways, Wheatley and Chell.

Oh yeah... and grassy fields are an artist's worst nightmare. I didn't use any special brushes because I didn't wanna cheat... but suffice it to say that I'm never painting wheat again.
~~~~~
Side note: Are there any more experienced artists that could give me some pointers on expressions/poses? I'm rather uncomfortable with them and want to get better. Thank you! :3

Cheers! ~Elly

THIS. THIS IS PERFECT. EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED WHEATLEY TO LOOK IF HE WAS HUMAN.

Cuz, some of the interps. of him are WAYY too serious or bishi-looking, or he just looks WAY too dorky, like overload

But this.
This.
This is perfect balance XD

Free at long last. They had short, sad lives full of pain, striving and sorrow ahead of them and they would experience it together. They couldn't be happier with those facts.

It's stuff like this that almost makes me reconsider my staunch 'original flavour' position. Almost.

Seriously, this is quite a few levels of awesoemness! The lineart, colours and shading are fantastic as far as I can see, and I certainly can see your point about wheat fields! (And the clouds are simply marvelous and- omigosh the moon! )

If there was anything wrong, I'd say Chell's arms look a little weird, like they're too thin in the middle - but that might be my poor anatomy knowledge coming through.

SQUEEEEEEEEE! It's just like the final paragraph. Very pretty. My only question is why is Chell wearing an Aperture shirt, when she's been "free" for four years? :s

D'awww. :3

Ellybethe In reply to MamboCat [2012-04-30 06:04:55 +0000 UTC]

Aw thanks!

Honestly, I don't know. I just put the logo on there because it looked better to me...and who knows? It's not entirely inconceivable--though unlikely and improbable--that she owns other company clothing with the aperture logo.

WELCOME TO THE BLUE SKY CLUB YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE NOW.

Seriously you can't leave because you must keep doing beautiful, beautiful fanart like this. <3

For poses and such I'd pretty much go with what Pinali said. Your proportions and anatomy look good but the poses themselves look a bit stiff so yeah, starting off with some loose stick figures and gesture drawings would help a lot. For expressions, I find that if I make the face I'm trying to draw and feel where the tension is in my face, I exaggerate that part in my drawing. Like if I'm making an angry face and the tension is in my eyebrows and bottom lids (for squinting), I really exaggerate those shapes in my drawing. If that makes any sense at all. ^_^;;

But really, this is beautiful work!
