Description

Posting because I'm kind of damn proud of this, and also because I'd like some feedback-! (Wanna turn this into a finished, polished-ish piece! I know there's some wonkiness with the crane's lines itself, I'll go over those again~) Fisheye in general is a lotta curves and weirdness, but I was just curious if anyone had any tips for creating smooth curved lines digitally without relying on pen tools or somesuch? :/ _{I might be driven crazy if I have to use pen/bezier lines, ugh...}

But yeah, a thing! Pchat with Devonition, and infinite thanks to him for pressuring me into doing this, and for believing that it could be done. ;-; This is a dumb idea that I've wanted to draw for probably a year now, but never had the courage to try to do, yet this turned out way better than I could've hoped for... thank you so much, man. ;-;/

And hey, I kinda missed these idiots. _{(I'm sure Ian didn't miss me, though xD)}

Ian and Cris, of my story Angel Dust, and an illustration for this piece: AD - Rise.

AD - Swan Song Part 1The boys are betting again on who's going to die. That's what it's all come down to, in the end: just one big game where someone's bad luck equals a couple of stale cigarettes and a shot of 'Dust, and who has to dig the grave.
Cris watches them lazily, out of the corner of his eye; he's no fucking peacemaker and he couldn't really care what they do as long as they aren't killing each other--not yet, at least. Rich's voice rises above the scraps of chatter but really he's only fighting the howling wind: the kid's gotten a lot louder since he killed that gangbanger from Stone's group--nothing more than a lucky fucking shot of course, everyone knows that--but it's gotten to his head and now Rich struts around like he's something dangerous. He's picking on Thomas again too, calling him a faggot and a worm and whatever other idiotic insults span his pathetic vocabulary. It makes Cris want to laugh, and grind the fucker's face into the

Great job! The fisheye effect works great for this setup!
One thing I'd recommend is to watch where your action lines are going and intersecting. The bottom of the crane arm risks being adjacent with the horizon. Also the crane lines lead the eye to the top left creating a focal point (maybe intentional? focus on the sky to create the infinite/lost/empty mood of ian laddie?).
But overall, this is great! I love how you did the city!
