Tales of Destiny (R) Boxart - Redone

Lewnatic

My biggest digital paint yet. Drawn from scratch and coloured from scrath. Obviously the original (from whatever quality I could find) was used as a reference. Rutee was easily the hardest with her many straps and buckles. And black is quite annoying to shade with, I find. Would love to know your thoughts!

The only 2 things that bugs me is Leon face and Philia glasses. Leon faces looks weird for some reason and didn't saw Philia glasses until I put my face next to the monitor.

His eyes are odd, they looked odd to me when I was doing them, and then I looked at my box art for reference and his eyes are weird on that too, so that's probably why I made the mistakes.
And Philia's glasses I had completely forgotten about. They're so dull because they were part of the original lineart, I meant to do a separate layer for them but Philia was the first thing I did so it went a little unnoticed.

Really big improvement from last time! Is your coloring layer above your lineart? I would place it beneath the lineart to give it a nicer effect.

No, it's below the lineart. I'm just **** at lineart. Like, so **** there should be a book on it. I just can't do it, I've tried so many tutorials and I can't grasp it properly.
To tell you the truth I don't really like lineart that much. I hate seeing nice images ruined with these black outlines, and I see loads of incredible digital paintings that don't even look like they have lineart outlining.

Leon's face seems fine to me. A bit feminine but he always wore too much eye shadow so it seems in character. It's Stahn's that seems a little off. Woodrow is eyeing me like a creep but, considering his position on the box, I would expect nothing less.

These are minor details though, you done great.

Now that eyes are being pointed out to me, the only character's who I'm truly happy with are Rutee's. But I probably spent the most time on Rutee anyway because she's got so much detail.

Thanks Ryuu!

I don't see what could possibly be wrong with Philia's (besides the under-apparent glasses).
