Monikamoddev: [WIP-Art] Kimono

[GHCactus]

Sooo this is a work in progress but any feedback is appreciated!! I'm new to computer art and stuff
(will clean up line work and stuff soon)

[20RaVen23]

I don't know why, but I can't see the photo. I only see a gray square without fill. Anyway, I know it's good xd

[GHCactus]

I thiiiink I fixed itt
can you let me know if its still not working?

[antimockingjay]

It's working for me! I like the artwork, but I think you're doing what a lot of artists do. You're making the cloth curve under her chest, which isn't how actual clothing works. If you held a tennis ball to a board, then draped a napkin over it, the napkin wouldn't curl under the tennis ball. The same applies to breasts. Unless she's in a bra/bikini or something like that, you shouldn't be able to see the curve underneath.

If you need references, I actually do suggest the tennis ball thing I mentioned earlier! If you take a tennis ball and hold it to the wall and drape a piece of cloth over it, it will genuinely give you an idea of how cloth tends to fall. That or look up some clothing references.

Aside from that, I think the artwork is really nice! It's well made, and I can tell you're working hard on it!! Keep up the good work!

@GHCactus Wow, It is incredible!

[GHCactus]

ah thank you so much and thanks for the reference I don't have any tennis balls but I will look at how cloth works by looking at more Kimono references!

Gorgeous work so far!! Excited to see more progress in the future.

[GHCactus]

I tried my best to make it not curve under and I fixed it up a bit more and I want your opinion, what should be the accessory that would go with it?

[Orcaramelo]

well, as for the kimono, most have a sash (is this the right word lmfao) on the waist, so you could add that! a nice accessory hum,, would def use the bun hairstyle for it but i dunno what would look good.

[Orcaramelo]

Also,

since kimonos dont have their shoulders out, that means the one you drew has slipped/wasnt put on all the way, right? in that case there should be extra fabric showing as folds, this might help:

[GHCactus]

AH THATS PERFECT @Orcaramelo Thank you so much

[GHCactus]

New outline yayyy

[GHCactus]

the lines are messy again but I'm happy

[Orcaramelo]

that's much better already! pat pat
Also, are you doing arms and torso on different layers? you'll need to do that for it to work in the game

[Abc2557]

Gosh, it looks so good! I bet everyone, Monika especially, is excited for when it's finished!

[GHCactus]

update: sorry for the really slow process due to my college exams coming up haven't had much time to work on it so I'm really sorry this is so slow (and I redid the color and outline because I needed to put the arms on a separate layer)

[jmwall24]

Take your time, there's no rush. Should be a great addition when it's finished!

[GHCactus]

Soooo uh I don't really have that much confidence in myself or enough time for this so I'm gonna close this, but if anyone wants to pick it up please do!!
