I love showing people some of my favorite artists, so this time(since I'm out of ideas) I'll talk to you about one of my favorite online artists.
Her online username is Balaa, and she posts her work over at deviantart. She mostly draws animals, which is my favorite type of art to view, in a cartoony style. Even though she draws cartoons, the detail she puts into them is just amazing. You can definitely tell she spends hours on her peices. Most of the work she posts is digital, but sometimes you can't even tell! Her backgrounds always make me wonder: digital or painting? They are just that good.
She does a really cartoon look and one that can almost be compared to realistic. In her peice Ice Majesty, there are no lines bordering the critters, as in real life. The fur is extreamly well rendered and you almost want to pet the big kitties. The background slowly fades to a blur.
And then we have her cartoon style. Which you can see in Aurora Of Grace. The fox clearly has lines , over sized ears, simplified features, and eyes with human expression. Both peices still show Balaa's strong points, which I believe are her backgrounds and the shading .
All in all, Balaa is a great artist everyone should give a few minutes time on. Even though most are cartoons, one can appreciate the detailed backgrounds, and the life she gives to her characters. Balaa works long hours on her works(she has stated this in some of her peices!) and deserves a few page veiws.
