Been working on a dnd npc recently. Meet Teeto, a shark themed shape shifter who thinks its funny to pretend to be a merman.

What is your biggest inspiration for composition?

I'm always floored by your larger scale pieces. ✨

I think how I mainly tackle an idea is with thirds, as in a piece usually has a background, a middle, and a front. Like imagine your eye is the camera, and there's things closer to it and further away. I'll try to illustrate what I mean:

The base of an environment is choosing what you're focusing on, similarly as a camera can focus on something and leave the rest unfocused and vague.

What you choose to highlight affects the feeling of depth and mood your piece will have. You CAN choose to have no focus, it just results in a more cartoony, more flat looking art style, which might be what you want, but for a very dynamic deep feeling composition you need some sort of a focus.

Let's take one of my pieces as an example:

What makes the piece dynamic, is having the front piece twist very close to you eye/camera, which let's the middle and background feel like they're further away and creates a sense of scale.

There's also something I'm doing, which adds to the feeling of vastness, and it's breaking perspective. The view is not actually possible to be seen, you can't see into the pit and under the columns top, if the picture is in perspective. So to be able to get both into the same view I've bent the view sort of like a fisheye lens!

You have to understand the basics enough to break the rules in a believable way, (if you're still following what I mean?) but breaking the rules or should I say exaggerating certain parts of the composition, can really bring it to life!

Also for those I don't spam the DMs of, meet Harmony. She is a half fairy with dreams and likes to make crafted wings since she wasn't born with any. I mostly have this character interact with a friend of mine's ocs but man do I want to do so much more with her.

I lied. THIS is the last art fight attack I'll upload rn
