Description

PATREON  / PRINTS  /
This is a painting for Patreon.

A fortress adjoined to a village, when it's all peaceful and pretty much not needed.

Great work, I love the perspective! I feel like I could be a bird perched on the rooftops, basking in the last bit sunlight

Your sketches have more 'details' than your paintings do. 

Odd. 

When I try to do drafts, I end up putting too many details like it's a story and I have to pull back. You don't see to have that. 

Odd. 

I like your scene set up. Is this your take on some place from 'Avatar: The last Airbender' ?  

And how could peace no be needed?

Details are cool. Thanks.
It's not needed when it's peaceful. Not that peace is not needed

Thinking its like the fortress was from when there was a war. But now that things are peaceful, it doesn't serve any purpose other than being a real big building. Since there's nothing they need to worry about defending against

Great job! Looks like a nice place to throw parties till the wolves are at the gates then it's down to serious business.

It was probably awesome being an archer on a wall or inside such a fortress.

Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked... XD 

This looks awesome! Real cool perspective you took with it too, like view from a passing bird or on that roof Interesting city too in that it sort of built itself around the fortress hehe

Imagine you are a bird, now you are a bird sitting on a roof thatch. Now that you are that bird, get a photoshop and a wacom and start drawing what you see XD

I'm not a big fan of patreon, but do you offer your tutorials separately (for example on gumroad, like many artists do)?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

saltytowel In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-02-23 09:05:59 +0000 UTC]

Not yet but this might work better than Patreon, I'll open up a gumroad and upload it there too and let you know.
What do you think about Patreon?

DamaiMikaz In reply to saltytowel [2017-02-23 09:58:32 +0000 UTC]

I'm not a fan of Patreon tbh. I prefer to know what I'm paying for

saltytowel In reply to DamaiMikaz [2017-02-23 10:25:01 +0000 UTC]

That makes sense, would you say that it would help you to support somebody's Patreon if you could trust them? For example, if I put money into Sakimichan's Patreon, I know for sure that she's trustworthy and punctual and I usually know what sort of useful videos I'll get from her.

DamaiMikaz In reply to saltytowel [2017-02-23 13:20:58 +0000 UTC]

Not for me. I'm rather specific on what tutorials I want and what not. For me it relies more on the type of tutorial than on the artist itself.
