It is easy to do details : more complexe pieces of armor, slashes on garments, etc !
. But I'm not objective, as Kain is my favorite artwork (even if I barely know him and never took it in my party !) for now, with Laya and Orakio (the "portraits", not my own artwork!)
For the background, I don't know. I'm not used to draw backdrops. In an other hand, I draw more or less by feeling. Creating a back for a drawning not of myself, I don't know. I guess if I have idea or directive, I could... If you don't ask me to draw Mieu, Wren, Gwyn and Kara behind the hero, ready to fight !
Speaking of Gwyn, I've just noticed that the artist give her the same hair that Demi in "Demilicious" avatars
And because I'm a sucker, I'll say that is disturbing !
. Anyway, I repeat the art is great.
