Tess

Share

A birthday gift for a friend of mine. It's her DnD OC Tess. I started this artwork over a year ago and never finished it... But now I did! :D


I learned a lot while drawing this piece and I had fun. Yet again it was tough at some points as I had no idea how to draw stuff (such as the willow leaves). I did some research and found some good references which helped a lot.

So the character and her purple familiar are the obvious focal points of this piece, but I want to talk about something else, here. I actually really appreciate the bend in the wall they're sitting on! There's something about the depth of it that really helps this picture. It would have been so easy to just make a straight wall going across the page, but I feel like this shot wouldn't look nearly as interesting if that had been the case. The bend gives the scene a sense of scale and depth, and it just conveys that what we're looking at isn't as simple as a straight path!

I don't know why! I just really loved that detail and wanted to call it out!

Amryn responds:

Thank you so much HiSS, you're so kind! Ah yes the bend in the wall. I just picked a nice reference photo for a pose and because the pose was at an angle I automatically thought: let's make a curve in the wall :) I'm glad to hear it worked out! <3

Beautiful piece fren

Amryn responds:

Thank you Vulps! :D

You did an amazing job with the perspective and the curved wall! Well done!

Amryn responds:

Thank you a ton Porgh! :D I actually started out with 4:3 canvas and ended up changing it to 16:9. That way I had a ton more space for the background and it just felt better :)

Incredibly well done!
The cat kinda reminds me of cheshire from Alice in Wonderland. :3

Amryn responds:

Thank you so much Charlie! :D You're too kind.
Haha yes I totally understand, he does look a bit like cheshire :P
