I'm flattered that you guys made me an entire subforum. <3
At any rate, for those who know me, I'm a GFX creator exclusively. I'm trying to get into art proper, but that isn't for a while. My writing is on the backburner as well. All of my efforts as of late has been focused towards GFX.
Here's a quick showcase of favorites in order of oldest to newest. This thread will be updated as I move on.
For the most part I'm satisfied with my work, although I do feel I need to break away from anime-styled work. At any rate, any and all criticism is encouraged.

i honestly thought we always had a GFX section somewhere here.
Your work looks really good. its hard for me to criticize GFX but i think the only one that stands out the most in needing work is the fire-emblem one. I think the lighting might be too bright.
If you want to branch out. I recommend trying Video game characters. I personally recommend Life is Strange GFX. that would be interesting.

The Fire Emblem one was honestly the milestone that marked the leap in quality between my old work and the style I have now. It's at least a year old now so I can't very much do anything about it.
I've done video game characters extensively as well as IRL figures (though the latter I've only done once). I was saying I'd rather move away from the anime aesthetic as a challenge since it's essentially the "easiest" style to work with. Life Is Strange is a good idea, but I have absolutely zero interest in the source material. However, something from Dark Souls/Bloodborne or maybe Borderlands could be on the backburner... Thanks for the suggestion.

well you have quality stuff here. Its very subtle in design. I don't necessarily see a lot of deviation. Most people overkill their GFX. but your work is really good.
Bloodborne and Dark Souls might be interesting. For some reason when i think of Bloodborne, i think of Castlevania.

Bloodborne and Castlevania are pretty similar in... Design theory?
I have a more "flow over flair" philosophy. IE I try not to bog down anything I do with lighting effects or C4Ds, etc. I just want to flow nicely. (This is most evident in the second, third, and sixth images I think.)
Once in a while I go full tard though.
Once in a while.

that's a good philosophy when it comes to design. I agree with it 100%. I think more artists when it comes to graphics should do the same.

Yes I made this gfx last minute. I stupidly forgot to add it in during the early design phase.
I love your graphics. They are amazing. Ill check out some of the games mentioned here
