Steve-does-art

So this thing is spreading around again which is really great cause it gives a lot of people some good opportunities to get noticed ovo
And it also gives me a justification to help some people out like this and give them a little exposure and still have it be fair for everyone

So here are the rules:

To participate in this meme, comment on my journal! For the first ten, I will put your avatar in this journal as well as the three deviations from your gallery that I like most/really enjoy!

If you are featured in this journal, you have to submit a journal like this one and do the same thing, putting me in the first spot. The idea here is not to get a free feature, but to spread art around for everyone.

_{Totally didn't copy this from 's journal, noooooooooooooooooooo}

So the person who was already kind enough to feature me in their journal is so take a look at these 3 awesome artworks he made.

Feature 1:

1. A really cool design in my opinion, love the colors and the shading technique as well as the awesome pose in the smol window there


2.That pose looks so awesome and combined with that beautiful painterly style it is simply eyecandy  
 

3. Another awesome design, really love the kinda crystal thingies and how he drew them on there, really friggin cool 


Feature 2:

1. Very nice colors in this one here, love the kinda rainbow effect on the flower

2. I personally have no idea how to color traditionally so kudos to you, looks really nice

3. This here is a nice sketch too but I have to say one thing to these, I know for sure that this one here is a redraw of an artwork from Honrupi and I also know the second one is a redraw too, while redrawing things is completely fine when you are still starting out or for practise reasons or maybe even later, please credit the original artist when you do otherwise you are kinda taking full credit for something you didn't completely do on your own. Other than that these are all solid sketches and very nice :3


Feature 3

1. Really nice effect with the depth of view and the lighting here


2. Looks like a accurate model of a Latios to me which is hella awesome


3. Loads of detail in this one, looks really nice


Feature 4

1. Fantastic shading and good technique with the colored lineart here, also great colors overall


2. This looks friggin amazing, love the colors and how you used them all!


3. Can't say it enough, really great shading and colors also fantastic anatomy too


Feature 5

1. Solid lines and coloring, looks 3d thanks to the good perspective


2. Not bad for what is a first take on digital art from them as far as I know


3. Wobbly lines and a bit flat looking but pretty good other than that


Feature 6

1. Very cool idea for a birthday gift and also great execution!


2. Love the coloring and design of this one here


3. Good shading and neat background, also a interesting pose and interaction between the characters


Feature 7

1. The mood, the colors, lighting and pose all works together perfectly and combined with a fantastic background this creates an awesome artwork, really love this one!


2. Love the painterly style and interesting idea for the background also fantastic shading!


3. Once again fantastic painterly style, love the background and the composition as well as the colors, really awesome!


Feature 8

1. Solid anatomy and shading, also very nice colors


2. I like the little detail where the edges aren't fully colored in, it gives it a very nice look kinda like it has been roughly done with a big marker or something like that


3. Good design and shading, I like it!


Feature 9

1. Very cool idea of drawing this on a city map, also awesome pose and anatomy!


2. Really nice pose and coloring in this one here, I like it!


3. This looks really great, nice gradient on the sky and everything is recognizable and visible as it should be, really like this one


Feature 10

1. Very solid outlines and a nice effect with the gradient over the artwork


2. Nice pose and anatomy and also great shading, really like it!


3. The fire in the middle looks really cool, I think it's actually edited in digitally but it is still a great and effective idea, the rest of the background is really nice too

So first of all, thanks a ton for all the support, critiques, comments, favs, watches and whatnot!
It's been nearly a year now and I'd have never expected that this all would happen so fast ;o;

And this time I got some things for you, first of all (I'll put a short description of this stuff on the bottom when you don't want to read all this):
1- I got a smol discord server which I already announced once but forgot to put a link on my profile so I'm just gonna put it there now and announce it a second time: discord.gg/AMX8tB5

2- I'll be hosting a giveaway of some neat steam indie games and maybe 380 dA points and some pokémon when people are interested over the next week or so
        Here is the stuff I'm giving away for sure:
            Steamkeys: World of Goo
                             No Time to Explain
                             Super Hexagon
                             VVVVVV
                             The Stanley Parable
                             Waking Mars
                             Secrets of Raetikon
                             The Swapper
                             Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut
                             Guacamelee! Gold Edition

Bought the Humble Bundle Freedum Bundle a few weeks ago and these were the games I already had and I wanted to give them to people who want to have them and why not do that to celebrate 500 watchers?
I'll probably make a journal per game day after day so that people can enter it over the week, I thought about putting them all in one giveaway kinda so that the winners can just pick but then it could happen that someone gets a game he doesn't actually want, so I guess it's better to do it one by one :3
You don't have to follow me or anything like that for that, you'll just have to comment on the journals and after a week I'll use random.org or something to pick a winner and this will begin tomorrow with World of Goo

I might also give 380dA points away when someone even wants such a amount <w<
And maybe a few Pokemon since I got some rare once due to me trading a lot
That would be stuff like a Mew, a Arceus, some other event legendaries and maybe Shinies and whatnot
Just tell me when you are interested in that stuff and when I see that there are enough people interested in it I'll give that stuff away too o3o

3- Reworking my page and making some new content for different sites too

So I've been recording most of the artworks I made since this one here except for two which sadly includes the one I made for Honrupi and it is so unfortunate that I didn't record that cause I'd love to watch the process again ;o;
It's really interesting to watch your own speedpaints cause through that I noticed that I really like to constantly zoom in and out which isn't that benefitial for the video quality <w<
It got somewhat better tho recently, especially with the artwork for zander!
And yeah, I'll probably make a youtube account sometime soon and try to edit these things and maybe even talk over them kinda explaining what I am doing or something like that :3
It might take a few months till I get to that or it might happen at the end of this one, depends on the stuff I'm gonna exlpain next besides the idea of also making a Twitter account to post some stuff there too and show WIP's and things like that.
And don't worry, deviantart will stay my main site for sure!

So yeah, I haven't made that youtube channel and twitter account yet cause I want to rework my page and all that stuff first, been planning to change my name a bit to something more general like SteveDraws tho not exactly that since I found out there is already someone with such a name on youtube which would be PeterDraws (pretty awesome channel which you can find here: www.youtube.com/user/Palivizum… , I recommend checking it out ^^)
If you have a good idea for a name that has something to do with art and has Steve in it then please let me know since I am terrible at thinking of names <w<
And with a new name I planned on making a new logo and signature too but I'll probably keep the character Steve since it seems like people quite like him and I luv him too ovo

4- Opening commissions sometime soon!

I've been ill for like a month or so and as some may know I used to have a job but they sadly threw me out cause I was ill for so long which is quite unfortunate but since I don't directly need money to survive at the moment not a big problem since I mostly used the money I got from it for stuff like some art supplies, games and things for my pc like the microphone I have and saving it up for future use too.
But since I have to pay for driving lessons and that stuff now the money I saved up is gone and it would be nice to still have a bit of an income to get something like a Switch or art supplies and hardware that will help me to make more stuff or produce higher quality content or just simply get some games and stuff with it.
So I'm currently trying to finish the stuff I promised to some people and also a somewhat commission? thing? and after I'm done with that I'll try to do commissions since several people already asked me wether I do them <w<
This will hopefully be sometime at the end of this month or beginning next month and I still have to think about prices
Would be cool to know what you guys think, just take one of my artworks and tell me how much you'd charge for it or how much you'd pay for it if you'd have commissioned it or if you are even interested at all.
It's completely fine when you aren't interested in it ^^

So Tl;dr: I have a discord server that you can join here: discord.gg/AMX8tB5 ; I'm going to give some stuff away over the next week; I'll rework my page and expand to other platforms like youtube and twitter with stuff like Speedpaints sometime in the coming months hopefully; Will open commissions sometime soon too when you are interested in that ovo
