I'm absolutely obsessed with your art piece of Etho's kill on Joel!! The composition is incredible. How did you learn that kind of composition? I've started learning art and your piece feels like ultimate composition goals!!
oh,, my god thank you so much.......
i never really learned composition, it's all just sort of intuition and experimenting, but i'll talk through my thought process for this one.
the only thing i was sure of from the beginning was that i wanted a low angle of etho jumping pulling his fishing pole back. at first i considered making it a comic because i liked all the crazy stuff etho yelled in that scene and there was just so much that happened in that short amount of time, but i struggled with making the composition work; i felt like i was squeezing stuff in, so i abandoned the idea.
after that, i thought maybe less is more, and just had etho jumping at the top and joel falling at the bottom landing in the water, but my friend pointed out i had a lot of negative space i wasn't utilizing.
i went back to brainstorming and looking for inspiration, and a lot of the life series art that i admire incorporate symmetry and symbolism, so i thought maybe i could put elements of their history from double life into the background. i also really liked the imagery of the stab itself rather than them just jumping, so drawing inspiration from ciearcab's philza illustration, i drew the stab big and center, kept etho's jump and joel's fall, made the water more graphic, and added the RelationShip and the fire. from there, it was adding more detail, adjusting color, adjusting anatomy, and adding smoke to balance out the top.
i really really struggled with this piece actually and i got a LOT of help from my friend @linktoo-doodles. i'm glad you like it and see it as "ultimate composition goals" hahaha! i honestly think it's a little too busy and certain important elements don't stand out enough, but i definitely put in a lot of effort and learned a lot.

WOOT ANOTHER CWILBUR DESIGN! by @polukhina-sonya :) this one comes with Lore
OK SO like. ur me . august 26th 2022. fan of dsmp for over a year who has a HUGE aversion to interacting with or creating fan content out of fear of the fandom n social media. u go to fanexpo with a friend’s family and, lo and behold, see an artist you’ve been lurking on’s booth! in person!
it was fucking EPIC i even saw cosplayers and. while i didn’t go for the sake of seeing DSMP, actually having the opportunity to compliment a big q cosplayer or talk to and buy a print from polukhina in the same techno shirt they were wearing and THEN find out i only narrowly nearly missed meeting linktoo really made me realize i wanted to be here, and rly involve myself in the fandom regardless of how terrifying and massive it was. i hadn’t drawn anything aside from doodles on scrap paper at work in god knows how long (a year or more), made my twitter account the day after fanexpo and only began to use it a week later during the utah finale. this is where the other ppl i accredit this account with come in :) mike maerids and clay clothmagictrick are two of the first people i recall interacting with during and after the finale. i drew actual fanart (albeit again, on scrap paper from work) and eventually whipped out my ipad to draw a silly convo i’d had as fanart, with my finger.
while memory issues do not serve me well and i genuinely only remembered i even *went* to fanexpo and saw anyone yesterday (or the day before?) i remember it now and i rly wanted to share that bcos its so fun and im so glad that a new apple pencil and so many cool people later and i’m here. :) this is gonna be the only one with a sappy story attached but im glad 2 share it
i still have the buttons and the quackity print i bought from polukhina then i just remembered :) second dsmp merch after the techno gg ez. this fandom is cool as hell and im so glad i got to remember why i came here LMAO
