I think one thing we all can agree on is that Moros is hot.

I think the character design you created is pretty cool! But I do have some ideas how it could be improved. 1. I think it's a little too desaturated. I think it would be nice if it at least had some splashes of really high intensity colours (like how you pointed out in the video that the Supergiant designs have, around the edges or otherwise). Maybe the warm green could lean just a bit more vibrant as well. 2. You went very formulaic across the steps you had, which makes sense for learning, but for an actual design, I would go back to the initial steps and see if there's anything that could be added from the steps that may have inspired you later, and vice versa (the rock weapon you added, did not seem to go through that process and feels really disconnected from the character) 3. Continuing from 2. - I think I would like to see more naturalistic things incorporated into her dress, for example. Right now the dress serves a purpose as a shape and maybe a flower of some sort? It would be cool if this forest spirit was inspired by some actual real tree canopies or flower blooms, and her dress would take on the look of those. Maybe have the dress change depending on the season. That would be a whole new challenge, since you'd have to create a "base" design that works really well, then add on-to it summer or winter things. 4. Continuing from 3. - The character visually looks young, but being a forest spirit, maybe what looks young to us, is actually really old in nature's terms? I think the design could benefit from more things that display age in nature, such as moss, or erosion (for the rocks she carries), or other such things. Maybe she's a spirit of a forest that suffered a forest fire at some point and so she has both human AND forest details of fire damage (i.e. burn scars on the skin and soot marks on her dress/rocks)

Another thing that Hades does well is the repetition of shapes/design symbolism/colors to make a design feel harmonious. I like that you reused the bark design/texture across the design to give it that feel, but I think you could have used some part of the flower skirt design elsewhere-- maybe the ears could have had more of a crescent moon shape, like the flower petals? Idk. and ofc it's not my art, it's yours. I do really like the use of lighter and more saturated colors around the face to draw focus there. I'm takin notes on that.

The only thing I would add to this video and to your own thoughts about color is that grey IS a color not simply a lack of color! Especially in a game with very vivid colors, having that muted color really exemplifies Moros design! Overall a great video and I'm excited to see more from you! Keep at it and you'll go far :3

Loved this! Great video!

this question is super unrelated & out of context (so sorry) but do you know of Sky: COTL?

Finally. this shit is a tutorial I've been looking for for soooooooooooo long. thank you so much!

Great content, but this voice is a bit hard to listen to. I apologize if that's your normal voice, but I feel like you're putting a certain "narrator's voice", and I am not sure it's working well. Can't wait to see how your channel grows!

The way you pretty much so far have covered things that I have been looking to improve on myself is amazing! I can already tell this videos will help me in my own art journey :)

You also achieved the most important aspect: Hot character. Everyone in Hades is hot in some way.

Bruhh how did i not find your channel until now 😭 your video are so underated

Are you indian

this is seriously inspiring me to pick up art again. it's just so hard to make time. side note, the way my jaw DROPPED when i saw the eden records on your wall 😭 love to see it

Gotta start that rhythm and flow too, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Also, lovely editing❤

I clicked because I am also obsessed with Hades 2 but I really loved the video and hope you keep up with both content creation and your character design career! The editing and motion was subtle but funny and the little touches were great, as well as seeing you being vulnerable over your design and the whole journey! Great work and I'll be looking forward to new vids~

This is called exploring variations not art style. Just because you tried different rendering methods it does not make an art style. Really want to try to master art styles look for mixed media and learn coloring techniques when you got tools under you're belt then you can tackle sketching different art styles and what you change. Example of this is "How about I make characters more rounded?" Lets look at some Western animations oh they use simple shapes, well how about I make them more angled or edgy look up final fantasy figurines, who drew them like that why they drew them like that and how I can gather more knowledge of artists that use interesting art styles. The list will go on and on. Until you experiment with lots of styles to gain experience then you can pick and chose what art style feel right for you. Ofc this is not advised if you got a following already cause what people want is you to improve, on your own art style keeping things consistent designs and not abandoning your style.

good video

Such a cool video! Can I ask for clarification on what "the terminator between light and shadow" means? What is a "terminator" in this context? The colours on Moros to me seem to be isolated spots, which might be related to my poor grasp on light and shadow! Ps. I want to especially compliment you on your posing and shapes. The way you balance the interplay between a character's body and clothes to make a shape is very appealing!

Good Video

Neat video! I love seeing breakdowns of character design. Also I've never played Hades but the characters look very cool, great choice to analyze. I feel like another important point for the color section is that the Hades characters' skin tones play a major role in their designs. Aphrodite has very pinkish skin, and with how little she's wearing I would consider that pink to be a dominant color in her design. Poseidon has a greenish undertone that supports the greens of his clothing, breaking up the intense colors with an analogous yet neutral tone. And Moros has a very blue-gray skin. If his art is grayscale that might not be as relevant, but I do see color in his sash and jewelry/armor, so I would argue that he simply has a low-saturation design, and his skin tone is part of that.

love the video! it really helped me motivate myself to actually readraw some of my old not very good art and it’s lovely to see another artist doing the same and then getting to leading from them!

Hi Teisus at 4 min in the video you're talking about the grey layer to create greyscale image BUT theres a simper way of doing it - Put all your color layers into a folder click on the folder (just the folder) and use change layer color button (usually its the blue and white square thing) and click the arrow next to it and change the blue color to black and you have all your layers black and white and you can easly toggle it hope you can understand what I mean its really quick

So great I discovered this channel just right know and WOW ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hell yea!! Love watching you work man :) so cool to see the before and after and great breakdown on how you got there

great ass video

I absolutely love hades and the supergiant art style as a whole and I've been wanting to create a small project adapting another series into the supergiant hades style so this video was such a godsend for inspiration, thank you so much!

I’m in love with the line art and how sharp all characters look.

amazing video as always, cant wait for you to build up a huge subscriber count and i can say i was here at the start!!

This piece turned out sooo good and this is so inspiring, thank you!

your editing have improved significantly and the quality of your content is really good. Also the way you tackle improvement and self criticisms (in a healthy way) is really inspiring. keep it up

This video is so good! You've definitely managed to break down concepts I had hard time understanding. Thank you:)

I love your designs, but I noticed most of the colours you use are very desaturated. I think you could play around more with saturation (in highlights, hair, clothing patterns, maybe crystals - in the case of earth spirits) and it would really elevate your designs.

Good video, but in my own experience, I'd advise against getting too out of the box with techniques and the order of them. The way I see it, you want to bone up consistency and ingenuity, which have limited overlap, so you should do both with the relevant ratio and quantity for your purposes, and know which of those you're doing as you're doing it. The people that get really good do a lot of drills with repetition and very subtle intentional changes, and then there's current me, playing by ear and having fun with ideas, but without doing much active, focused comparison like this, and I don't think my work is consistent at all or nearly intentional enough. Regardless, I don't know, and that's a bit of a problem. This isn't all bad because when you constantly broaden the possibilities you can come up with different ways of looking at a project, but if you don't put in the contributions to a standard pattern, it gets way too hard to trust or recognize progress and you can get lost

I've literally watched more than 50 videos explaining how to achieve an artistic style because I'm in a big art crisis right now. Most of them massive contet creators on the plataform, that i also tried to watch it in the two languages ​​that I understand (Portuguese, my mother tongue and english), but even then, I could never follow or fully understand what they wanted to say with their analyses, however, this wasn't what i felt with your video, i finally found someone that i could understand completaly, that had a simple and perfectly direct way of approching this subject. I'm very grateful that UA-cam recommended you, i will for sure stick around to see more of your amazing analyses!!

I think it would be easy to make a comeback to Yew's insults- just "No Yew" her.

3:04 I'd say Moros' pose also makes sense because he is passive within his role as a deity. He does not do anything to create doom, but rather he comes to bear witness to manifestations of doom in the world, a silent observer acknowledging someone's final moments. He does not need to do anything, his mere presence is terrifying enough and often seen as a bad omen (including in the Crossroads, among allies) - which also aligns with what you said earlier about his silhouette alone looking ominous. 👀

At 1:22 where you break down the major components of style is perfect, those can be considered the fundamentals of art. In my experience when you improve in a few of those areas you might find your style start to change. Ps you're 2 for 2 on good videos, looking forward to the next one

good video 🔥

I look forward to seeing more videos from you.

i have this exact same penguin oh my god but mine has yellow feet and ear muffs so i guess they aren't exactly the same

As an beginner artist and an avid anime fan i hate how anime fans tries to animefy and downplay the designs of other media. However that doesn't mean there are no shitty character design in the western or the eastern media but Hades is just not one of them. Especially with the Hestia design people were complaining she was not a hot humuna humuna waifu goddess. But her being a grandma fits so well with her character if they just looked into it since she's a god that supposed to portray a homely and hospitality feeling.

I always feel bad watching these videos…. Makes me feel my own designs are bad. But great video!

Ah yes remember to touch grass ! Wait what is grass o.o ?

Love the analysis! Thanks

*slams the subscribe button* I think I'll take a page out of your book and stdy the character design from the game and other media like Arcane to really get how good character is or what they focus on, etc. Great video, can't wait to see what more you post!

Really great video but im sorry the vocal fry is annoying

Haha, that was a lot of fun to watch. And yeah, you definitely caught on quite a few good points on Jen's chara designs tips. Well done ! Another one I could add to make yours pop out even more is that pesky little 4th color (usually at the opposite end of the chroma wheel than the main one) Jen is using as highlights rims. It definitely helps give her characters a certain godly aura. Also, final pro tip, when doing shadows for your characters, rather than just using darker tones of your main colors, do the whole shadow shape in a rather desaturated slightly dark gray/purple on another layer on top of your main color layer (so not just for the skin, but for everything), then make it 30-40% transparent, and turn the shadow layer mode in Multiply. Enjoy !

Banger video bro!

Everything you discussed was really insightful! Also, I liked the whole touching grass bit at the end there. Great first video for the channel!
