Arrowchild's Art

While I'm very new to the forum, I thought I would take Th3Branded0ne's advice not to be shy and post some of my Berserk fanart!

I'm actually working on a couple of pieces at the moment, including one of Guts and Griffith that has had me grinning the entire time I've been painting it as well as a Guts chibi. I'll hopfully have them done in a few weeks, but for now, it's mostly Golden Age Griffith:

And then, of course, there's the full drawing of chibi Griffith as he appears in my avatar:

I've been having so much fun creating fanart form this series-Berserk is such a huge inspiration for me!

I also work as a ball jointed doll artist and have in-progress Guts and Griffith dolls that I'm fully customising, (and plans for a Casca), but I'll probably start a different thread for them when I'm ready to share them.

Th3Branded0ne · April 6, 2012

I like them! You sure have the talent for it :guts:

That first one is really good, I love it! The chibi one, of course, is just full of cuteness. Thanks for sharing.

Walter · April 6, 2012

I'm not sure I like the look Griffith is giving me in that second one :magni:

IncantatioN · April 6, 2012

Second all 3 comments!

I also like the detail and shading of Griffith's shirt in the first one.

Thanks! I'd been kicking that first one around for ages before deciding to paint it. I really do need to draw more chibis...

I was creeped out the entire time I painted that one!

I've been kicking around this painting for ages. The little beast started as a sketch when my husband was watching the opening sequence to Paranoia Agent and suddenly sat up and said, "Hey! Isn't that the guy who sings Berserk?!" :serpico:

And I then had the uncontrollable urge to draw Guts and Griffith laughing Paranoia Agent style.

For the record...I kept grinning as I painted this and my cheeks inevitably hurt afterward.

Grail · July 30, 2012

In my experience, if you're having a hard time not laughing when you're drawing, you're usually doing something right. :guts:

You have an interesting style, I like how you mix and match the use of blurs and more solid lines. It can be tough to draw in a semi-realistic style, but I think you're off to a good start. I also think the shading for the beherit steals the show a bit here. :casca:

IncantatioN · July 30, 2012

This looks GREAT, good job! Agree with Grail on the Beherit, it's the first thing I noticed/ zero'd in on when I saw the picture. I like the blur effect for the background as well.

Thanks! I find that I tend to make the same facial expression as the characters I'm painting while I'm doing it...so you can imagine what I must have been like while working on this one

I'm also hopelessly in love with drawing/painting/sculpting beherits :serpico:

I've been experimenting a lot with the juxtaposition of blurry and hard lines-I'm glad you like it!

I'm not quite sure what's going on in this one. It started out as a doodle. With more clothing. And considerably less....suggestiveness...but I rather liked the way it turned out in any case :guts:

I've been in the mood to draw in a more anime/manga style lately, so here you go! I also didn't give much thought to the fact that Mr. Miura doesn't give his men nipples until I started flipping through volumes for reference shots :serpico:

*I'm also working on a painting right now of Griffith and Casca and kind of loving it.

Grail · November 3, 2012

It's almost like Guts is saying, "Dude, you're such an asshole... and where did I put my shirt?" :ganishka:

I particularly like how the hair came out in this. Guts's has a kind of sleekness to it, which is always so much harder to depict than you'd think! I feel like his skull might be a bit narrow for this angle, though.

Looking forward to the Griffith/Casca picture! :guts:

So THAT'S what Guts' internal monologue is here! I've been trying to figure it out ever since doodling it :ganishka:

You might be right about the skull shape, (it might have something to do with the resizing I did with it as well-I'll have to go back and look at the original); as it was a quick little drawing I'm not going to sweat it too much, but thanks for the heads-up. Pun intended.

I was a bit disappointed when I saw that this scene, (among others of course!), didn't make it into the 2nd movie. So I decided to paint it :serpico:

I like how you portrayed this scene, nice work! The coloring of the faces seems to be particularly delicate, I'd say it's my favorite of yours so far.

Skeleton · March 5, 2013

Looking good, Arrowchild! It's good to see you're back in action. :)

Thanks you so much-I really loved working on this one, especially their faces :guts:

arrowchild · March 11, 2013

I've added a bit more detail to the background and tweaked my latest one.

I'm actually really in the mood for a speedpaint today...I might just have to do a Guts portrait if I have time. I'll definitely share if I wind up finishing it.

arrowchild · March 11, 2013

Speedpaint of Guts complete! I'm experimenting with some different digital techniques right now-I'm rather liking it!

I really like your take on Guts in this one! the mix of colors came out nicely. I also really like how you changed the background in the last picture. Not that I disliked how it was originally, but I think pulling it all together was a good call.

Skeleton · March 12, 2013

Guts looks great, Arrowchild! I'm really digging the eyes (his eye?). :)

Thank you! I love painting eyes :serpico:

Jackolyn · March 13, 2013

Very nice work! I especially love your use of layering colours in the flesh tones. Your style would lend itself wonderfully to Oil painting!
And I agree with you on the eyes. They're my favourite part of the painting to work on!

Thank you so much! I actually did oil painting as my concentration in college-that's awesome that it still translates :serpico:

A little Guts/Casca study, playing with textures...and having WAY too much fun with it :serpico:
