ganbaru's little bookshelf

@ Illusore, glad to see than I managed to change your opinion on this serie

Time for the weekly update:
Two news set of signatures and avatar:






And four version of the same freebies:

[Suomi]

The colors in this week's set are absolutely brilliant, and the smudging technique is well executed. For once, no changes recommended from me
As for the freebies, love all of them. The two things I would say are:
the first one: in the spot that's magenta-ish, it's a bit oversharpened.
the fourth one: the purple c4d in the bottom corner stands out a bit too much.
Well done this week sempai, well done.

[ganbaru]

It's about time for the weekly update.
Two news set of signatures and avatar, finishing the current serie:






The whole serie:

Spoiler for The conqueror worm by Edgar Allan Poe. / Blur, smugging and saturation/oversaturation:

Birth






Living / growth.









Sickness






Death

And some related work. Some were intended as freebies from the start, other are ''failed'' attempts:







C&C are always welcome.

[rikikai]

I love your new set!
And I love the precedent set with the girl at the window, there is a very good atmosphere!

The last freebies is beautiful, I love how the colors get out of the girl ^^

[ninryu]

I LOVE your Patchy signatures.

Awesome update bro, I love the warm colors. It touches my heart

@rikikai glad tha you liked the ''girl at the window'' signature, there's not so much work on this one than other signature of this serie, mostly because I had to keep some element of the original picture recognizable, like the intravenous drip.
@ ninryu I also like this artist's work, even if I don't use that often. Still, it's the second time I use that picture for a signature about death thought...

Time for a weekly update:
A new set of signatures and avatar, starting a new serie:


( Yes I know, the ''Je l'aime à mourir'' part wasn't translated... )

And some alternate version of the same freebie:

[Mr.Raw]

The bottom left one is the best in my opinion, great depth, good lightening en good focus. Well done bro

[Rennir]

Hmmm for the top one, I'm guessing you were aiming for washed out colors? Looks perfect! The only thing I would say is to sharpen the focus a bit more and perhaps put your name in a better place

Agree with Godlike about the freebie; the bottom left is the best one

[Krytonis]

I completely agree with Rennir-senpai, Godlike-sama and Merilyn-kun! The bottom left one has the most focus and I love it! This is amazing ganbaru-senpai!

[Suomi]

Agreeing, of course, with Renn, Sama, and Merilyn.
The freebies this time are some of the best you've had I think.

[ganbaru]

To be honest, I am rather surprised than so many liked that signature, thank everyone.

Time for the weekly update:
A new set of signatures and avatar:



The others stuffs could be considered as freebies and like experiment. It from a idea of a serie than I decided to not use; I will do make it to the end but I wont use it.







C&C are always welcome.

@Ganbaru Where do get those pretty girls anyway?

[rikikai]

I really love your new ones! I especially love the last freebie, the colors are really nice!
