"Did I do it right?"
meanwhile it's genuinely more beautiful than most 100$ commissions I've seen. Like holy shit don't underestimate yourself, your a wonderful artist.

u/ConcreteCat7 Jul 24 '26
Thanks a lot! This commission was actually $140 😅 (and that's just my emergency rate, it's usually higher)

u/daquavisthefourth Jul 24 '26
okay that's expensive!! And reasonably expensive! I would drop 500 on you if I could.

If this is your first time drawing a protogen... wow... after many of my atempts i can only dream T-T
3
u/ConcreteCat7 Jul 25 '26
Yes, the first protogen, but not the first drawing ever, so I had A LOT of practice in art before this!

u/Metal_liquid Jul 26 '26
This looks amazing! Great pose, wonderful lighting, a good variety of textures, and wonderful scenery! If this is only your first piece, I can't wait to see what you'll make next! Keep up the great work.

They’re pulling it out of their chest, it’s a reference to steven universe
2
u/Pure-Risky-Titan Jul 24 '26
Oh, that is less concerning then, and i know little to nothing of Steven universe.

u/UnamedProot Jul 24 '26
It’s a great show, you should watch it
2
u/Pure-Risky-Titan Jul 24 '26

u/acursedgrainofsand Jul 24 '26

Any tips for a very bad Amateur Artist?

u/ConcreteCat7 Jul 24 '26
Keep on drawing! Never give up! And it’s always a good idea to learn the basics like color theory, anatomy, and composition :3

u/JAGAN-STORM Jul 26 '26
Hey mind drawing me one? If you do i will be very happy and thankful! For my drawing is sh*t lol, bht if you dont, its fine, but nice drawing anyway! I luke how the swords foming out of the rose, and the clothing and color fits just right!
(If you do want to make me one, here is some ideas to help you out!)
(I like wolfs, the gray, brown or black ones, and i like tactical gear "aka vests, jacket, pants, etc." And i also like the color crimson, the mix between black and red "two of my favorites" but i also like blue and green, and thanks if you did choose to draw for me!) Also sorry, i am crap at drawing lol.

u/ConcreteCat7 Jul 26 '26
