Welcome to QUEST ART GENERAL, a quest for showcasing the art of your quest and its characters! Players of all skill levels are welcome!
Quest mechanics: 1. Don't be a spamshit. Multiple posts are fine but keep it below Souv level. 2: You are free to draw/post work of others' characters, but no begging. 3. Keep it SFW. This is a blue board. If you feel the need for otherwise, link it in the thread so it doesn't get nuked. 4. No dramafagging/vendettafagging, or blatant shitting on others' art. Again, this is a quest to draw and vibe about art, /qst/ OCs, and their respective lore. 5. If someone does give you fanart of your quest/character, be sure to thank that anon for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :)

Good to see these threads again, I'm not even an QM but it's good to see /qst/ art where /qst/ can see it instead of some closed discord that demands you hand over your biometric data.
>>6414490 Three possible designs for the same character. Trying to get a nonhuman outsider savage look (Conan) without being pure monster or unlikable to draw.
>>6414435(OP) Made this for a discord 'contest', but I figured why not let /qst/ try?
Basically, the current theme is to draw your QOC in a school or boy/girl scout uniform, and the one with the most replies to the picture gets crowned winner... and gets to choose the theme for the next Combat Zone.
This is Magda Pickett, she was raised in a Christian prepper-cult, and when the end of the world came, they adjusted poorly and have since become a dangerous band of fanatical marauders, with motivations and beliefs that are still mostly a mystery though the current 'episode' will be elucidating their whole deal pretty soon.
This was the first piece of art of one of my characters I've had posted by a player in one of my quests - which, btw, thank you so much Indonesian Gentleman, they said it was commissioned from you and I recognized the style! It's really fantastic!
Do you guys remember the first time someone had art made of one of your characters, or did their own take on one and posted it? Can I see?
Or if you have illustrated another QM's character(s) in your own style, what made you want to? Do you still have them to post?
>>6414523 OH shit-- you're doing studies now!!! I look forward to your gains. >>6414506 I love these robots they look so badass >>6414465 Very blessed that you have plenty of talented artists in your thread >>6414679 I like this rendition of Magda and the attention to detail. >>6414702 AHAHAHAHA I recognize this character AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Lovely work and thanks again!!!
Oh shit, the QAG's back! I might actually contribute this time--it's been so long! >>6414463 I like the leftmost guy the most. Guy looks like he doesn't take any flack from anybody. >>6414501 Holy crap, is this on an actual canvas, or is it digital still? >>6414604 Love the deets on the background here, anon, and the jacket looks bitchin too! >>6414645 I might try this out, actually! Decent practice at the very least... >>6414679 Yea IG's kind of an institution. Truly a wizard. As for some of my first fanart, I think it was a drawing in Bones Quest. I was already pretty gobstruck when someone decided to draw me something, but once I realized who made it I kinda freaked out... picrel. >>6414702 The skirmishes have been crazy great for art. Glad people are willing and able to throw some stuff together!
>TEAM COOL GRUNT would like to battle! Totally not the villains! They are hiring. Must meet the following requirements: >be male >be cool >and a nice pompadour! At Boguemon:D Quest. Also accepting monsters design. >>6414702 >>6414825 Spelldivers is awesome.
>>6414523 Your bird study motivated me to do a bird study >>6414829 It was made in digital, but I used a canvas overlay and lots of texture brushes to make it look like it was traditional artwork. I should try doing some of these more-realistic portraits again... >that art Getting fanart is BASED, but I like this one a lot for the amount of soul it has. >>6414830 You're getting better at art, and it shows!!! Whatever you're doing, keep it up!!!
>>6414829 AGHHH JUMPSCARE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME
Anyway... I've still been drawing for Drowned Quest Redux! Largely in the form of either moderately lewd comics (not posting here) or art for the ongoing repost on Royal Road. Here's the cover for Volume 3 (= Threads 10 - 15)!
>>6414954 At the risk of sounding sappy and overly-sentimental, yours was one of the first fanarts I ever got and it really left me feeling like I had 'made it', y'know? Fanart's magical like that. Really grateful you did that for me! >>6414954 Can recommend reading on Royal Road. What a frickin journey, man. >>6414909 Is it better to submit designs on /i/ or the /qst/ thread? Also is there any guidelines for monster designs, or? Seems pretty lively! >>6415001 Good to know--I've been trying to draw my own shit lately, but I've commissioned some questies in the past too! Here's some jerks who haven't appeared in a quest yet that IG did for me. Really reasonable prices and very speedy, too! Definitely recommend!
>>6415230 >Is it better to submit designs on /i/ or the /qst/ thread? On /i/ threads take more time to be archived and most drawanons are posting there, but you can post on /qst/ if you prefer. >Also is there any guidelines for monster designs You are free and welcome to follow your heart! But i must admit the smaller ones are easier to show up in the comic.
I can't find some threads with just tripcodes. I suppose yours is already archived? I couldnt also find Meguca Royale. But we do have a nice recommendation thread here.
>>6415312 Yea, most old quests end up on the suptg archive--they have a search function and stuff on there too that you can plug QM Handles and Quest Names and stuff.
I'd like to give a big shoutout of appreciation to the prolific drawfag (aka goatpirate) who makes sketches for Monster Girl Facility, Low Rung Researcher and the skirms. It's always a pleasure to see his drawings and they greatly brighten up any thread.
>>6414916 Awesome cassowary! Insanely impressive digital painting, genuinely looks photorealistic at first glance. Here's the more realistic cassowary colors on the Boltrunner I drew for spelldivers
aah i see you guys actually went ahead and made the thread, i´ll have to keep an eye out for cool stuff. this place will be perfect for when i finally finish the fanart for HeadQM´s quest

I'm correcting some of the neck textures on my cassowary
>>6415537 Did I mention I like your bird art? Your boltrunner looks extremely menacing with the lightning behind it. >looks photorealistic Thanks man-- I did use a very close-up reference, but I just got back into one of my first digital studies in a long while; so I'm quite pleased with the end result!!!
I've been going heavily into inking lately because I read some manga made by trad artists who were really good... it is a devilish medium but still really fun :)
>>6415628 >>6415629 I like the colored one the best. The second one has a good angle, but the first has a very soulful je ne sais quoi about it... I think it's in the composition and warm colors.
>>6415828 Very shoujo... I keked very hard at the textlines.
>>6415923 Hey!!! I've seen your art in the Vanguard thread-- keep it up!!! I really liked all the insignia patches you made as well!!!
>>6415976 Neat pixelart!!! I don't think I've seen a lot of your art outside the skirm threads, but hope to see more of your cool pixel art!!!
>>6415582 I had to check a few times to see if this was a photo or something. Holy SHIT, anon! Looks incredible! >>6415628 >>6415629 Also no clue what these are for, but nicely done here too. Like what you managed to do with the second one with limited colors! >>6415840 Don't do it man they're rascals through-and-through >>6415873 On one hand I'm flattered but on the other hand you might wanna watch out which girls you're attracted to, my brother >>6415923 Would love to see you put out more. It's been a real treat seeing what people have put out in Vanguard--the models by Observer, the character drawings, the peripherals like this... top-notch, really! >>6415976 Same with this! Alaryck's looking distinct with that dithering! >>6415980 What can I say, I'm a sucker for the dating sim aesthetic. >>6415985 Also holy shit, this takes me back! You really made her a cutie-pie, anon. Maybe some day, right? >>6415986 FOOLISHNESS
In the interest of promoting more discussion... (not that the pics aren't awesome, of course), here's a few questions for the general: >What's a general tip you'd like to share about drawing for the rest of us? >What got you into drawing/art in the first place? >What do you want to improve in?
