Description My try on semi-realistic look.

I am feeling the same determination from a year ago.
I remember clearly the lights from the blinds, the light shafts shining upon the room's floating dusts.

So I painted this.

More importantly, do you like this art style? Should it be simpler?
I am trying to get the right balance between stylized and realism.

Nice lighting, it does indeed look like a nice portrait of you!

Thanks for the feedback!

Is it too detailed?
Should I lean back and make things simpler?
Or is it just right?

TOFUProductionz In reply to Gekigengar [2016-11-06 00:07:22 +0000 UTC]

No problem!

I think the style's just right! Personally, though, I'd like it if the shading was a bit more smooth, but that's just more of my personal preferences than a critique. What you got here is really good! Keep it up!

Ideally I would love to be there too, around this level of softness.

While the shading are smooth, the lighting still can be sharp and interesting.

Thanks for the input, I will try to achieve more softness!
(Though, that's pretty hard as I have the habit to make things look rough xD)

TOFUProductionz In reply to Gekigengar [2016-11-12 22:24:12 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh yes!! That's the kind of shading I really like!!

Having soft and hard edges really gives it a natural look.

Haha, no problem! I think there was a study showing how rough sketches actually look better than cleaned up ones due to its messy nature, and our brains show that it looks more natural. xD So don't worry too much about it!

Wow he's 175 CM.

1 CM TALLER THAN THE GUY IN THE PORTRAIT.
BUT HOW COME I DON'T LOOK AS TALL AS HIM..!?

Hacker huh..
Well, 90% of my codes are temporary hacks and brute forces..
So I guess that counts as a hacker too? XDD

Its the kind of feeling you get when you see someone stealing your dear pizza, while you can't stop singing when you wanted to scream, because you are singing for choir.
