Wip for the LA art. I had a hard time deciding on the aspect i should look for. It's a simple image to begin with but i want to add something to it, while not changing it too much. Don't want something really realistic ..

Looks lovely. Small details like crabs on the beach, and fish in the sea could go a long way together with the seagulls.

I've not played the game yet, but maybe there's something you can add to the horizon as well? I suppose one wouldn't want to add too much either.

I love this already, nice feelings

Don't forget the coconuts please ;)

You could maybe add a wrecked ship on the horizon maybe some flotsam

Or a add a reference to another nintendo ip since LA is full of that

I'll add small things yeah for sure, there are the kinda seeds already. Now i don't want to hide too much things in the horizon that are not here to begin with, cause people who like the game like that scene for what it is. There is a story to it it's not just random.

I checked the map and there is nothing here in front of them as it's on the edge of it.

True, I would prefer it to be as simple as possible. Just thought the shipwreck in the distance would be a nice touch since you see Link getting shipwrecked in the intro

But it wouldn't still be floating :p I don't know that could be a good idea but i don't like to do things that would not be coherent with that moment in the game.
 
I'm just spitballing here to offer some constructive feedback:

You've got the palm-trees set further apart than the original picture. Which, combined with how small you've sketched the characters, could be why it feels "empty" or missing something. You also seem to have a wider aspect ratio.

Perhaps just setting the characters closer to the camera, making them larger, could help?
Maybe move the trees? Doesn't seem like that'll be possible without starting over, though.

I'm sorry if i gave that feeling in my post with the wip but i'm not really looking for feedback, other than from fans of the game, but just in term of content. I'll manage to fill the art exactly like i want don't worry it's not finished ;)

Nice orioto!

You even added a little bit of flotsam, I like the barrell.

Not sure yet If I get the bw or coloured version...
 
Another LA Ori piece bought, another one staying in the tube until I get my own place with wall space. (Well... two, since I did have to snag that P3 piece finally.)

Orioto, I just wanted to let you know how much I admire your art and how gorgeous your pieces are.

The way you capture familiar characters and settings are very unique and nostalgic.

So that would be something like that. I can do the visual i was looking for and use the giraffes (and the characters) and it's still Salt Lake City (I'll be using some photo refs), but not a part we see in game. That way it's accurate :p

Finally got a chance to catch up on your recent work, and I really like how that Ice Palace turned out. There's so much detail in that one - looks like it took many hours to complete. I might have missed it, but what was the inspiration for this one (game/movie)?

The Xenoblade - Bionis's Leg looks marvelous! Great vantage point, using the valley walls and vertical elements to focus the viewer's attention, yet being open enough at the top to make you curious what is just over that ridge. The vibrant colors and great lighting make it feel like a warm summer day. Really great job!

I also enjoyed the LoZ:OoT (silhouette), Sonic, and Stranger Things pictures as well!

The Ice Palace is from Baten Kaitos :) Thx for those detailed comments!

Looking pretty, pretty, pretty good. Are you going for a more realistic approach? Looks a lot different compared to your other ones.

Not sure it's specially more realistic, i mean not for me. i'm still using photo materials so more vegetations mean more density. But it'll look soft and painterly in the end :p And it's already more surreal as you can see.

Progressing.

Those trees literally look real that's why I was asking if you were going for a more realistic approach as opposed to what you normally do. But the new update, good lord, it looks fantastic so far. I'm glad you did an original scene and not something from the game.

It's nice when i can be more creative! But it's always a risk.

I didn't do any mario art in a long time and that's a shame, so let's do that. I actually never really did a Mario World art that looks like the game so why not, now which part hmm.. That would be a certain area and something more peaceful taking place in it.

Or Galaxy ?? Hmm
