I am not usually a regular on the *moe communities, but saw the OC tag when looking at local posts to ani.social and just wanted to stop by and say it looks great! Thanks for the contributions and I am glad to see some OC on the fediverse.
Of the variations, I personally like the one with the regular cape/staff. The one that is missing them (variation 3) feels a bit sparse to my eye, like the composition is off without those elements. I think it is because the lack of cape pushes the subject really off-center to the left of frame and what is on the right side of the frame is not visually interesting enough to provide a visual counterweight.
Thank you! ^^
I’m still getting used to posting on the fediverse since I don’t know the communities that well yet, but I’ll keep posting more on here!
Oh, thanks for pointing this out! I mostly posted the other two variations because I needed to draw them anyway to properly paint the main image, but I hadn’t realized how much of a negative space the missing cape would really leave. I’ll keep it in mind for my next images. ^^
