I decided to make a new art thread because the old one was getting laggy with the amount of art in it. So here the new dawn breaker for the Shiny Era, a William Coen full body in high detail commissioned by the Vigilant Shield Donation pot.

I swear I almost choked on my glass of water. This is stunning. Well, beyond stunning. If I could list how gorgeous and wonderful this is I think I'd fall over from suffocation. haha. trying to be funny and failing. Oh well, made myself laugh.
But in all seriousness I love seeing all of MonMarty's new art, it inspires me to go forth in the pursuit of learning how to draw better!~ Which is good. I guess I never thought of it before but I suppose one of my major art "heroes" or someone who I really look up to. (Along with Maragret Keane: the artist of the Big Eyes <3 I love her too)

I would be elated if my progress over the years ever even reached the level in which Mr. MonMarty has become. It's made me awestruck.
The proportions on William Coen look so good, and that's definitely something I am struggling with and it's just so gorgeous. Well, just means I have to draw more.

Anyway, overall this is gorgeous, stunning, and made my day. Can hardly wait to see what other beautiful things he will create!
 
Tbh, butting a sword that close to your neck is a hazard.

My.
SHUGER FUZZHELS.
Man, your art sure has improved a ton!
I have a question though; how many times do you doodle/do a full drawing a day? Even if it isn't coloured, or for anatomy practice. I'm just curious!
 
But gems don't have genders and OBVIOUSLY THIS ONE DOES BUT OK LMAO

Considering I know nothing about Steven universe universe since I don't watch it, but just wanted to tag along with Teddie's excitement, I think I still did decent. I followed various guides on Deviantart which all sort of made it clear that gemsona's can look like whatever the gem wants to look like, one even going as far as saying that facial hair was not denied in canon, therefor could exist. Arguably the guides all agreed it should be drawn in the house-style of the show, but I can't draw such stylized distilled styles. It rubs me wrong to ignore correct anatomy.

But hey, thanks for like, ignoring the artistic work, the friend value factor, the fan base contribution and focusing on nothing but the a-gender aspect of it, and then using that to somehow discredit the work put into it.

but gems CAN look like any gender i am 100% sure because they're you know. projections. their gems project bodies for them and they get to decide what they look like! so its ok! yes! they can have scruff. they can look more masculine. also @PonyoWantHam i guess because u seemed confused abt it too.

i was excited. sorta kinda giddy and egging mon on to draw a gemsona n all. thANK U BY THE WAY FOR JOINING in mon labradorite is labrADORABLE

I beg your goddamn pardon, but I was simply giving constructive criticism on the Gemsona. Not once did I say the artwork was awful, and to be honest I love your art style. I was just commenting on the masculinity of the gem, and I'm sorry it offended you. I was just a little bit confused with all the facial hair and stuff.

Sorry for going a little bit off topic, I just had to clarify a bit on what I meant.

... ... Does... Does he need a belt? Is he okay? Is he out of belts? I can make a belt. D: Or a bigger belt? I'm just concerned for that shirt! What if he needs to be proper and tuck in his shirt before entering an establishment of fine quality?

Most importantly; WHAT IS IN HIS HAND!?!

I like how there is some story in the image. Its quite compelling. Though, one small critique/concern about the flower button on his sash. I see the lighting and am unsure just how flat that button would be. Is it more non-reflective than the other metals... wait, is it even metal?
