Art Challenge: Adopt a style


I'm getting old *cough* And I haven't done much to advance and update my skills this year, so I decided to do a bit of a -adopt a style- to investigate and understand the workings of great artists. I probably don't have the patience to copy it to similarly, but I will be taking inspiration


I had a list of who I was inspired by, but the internet recently fell into a hole. It's actually quite a common style...only it isn't obvious here cause I only took out a few bits.

It's style...I believe is called semi-realism (although that's not my definition). And it seems only exclusively applied to guys. Typically they have lower brows and a Asian-elvish feel to them. Usually they're in they're either game or fantasy themed, by the fantastic concept art that initially inspired them. I've also noticed that most of them tend to be err...topless or yaoi...and the artists that draw them tend to be female.haha

Detail and realism tends to be quite spectacular (really nice clothing design or lack of), especially the enormous fluffy wings that come as part of the package. The lighting is actually not traditional to this style...I just got carried away by something else.

Umm I still don't get guys. Not just the behavior but how they look. :/Eww I got the light source on the hand confused :/


Inspiration
onethis one wasn't good0 this artist tends to "mass produce" his works. I'm guessing he's a Chinese graphic's student strapped for cash :P


crap internet died again, there's more but...nvm
