A List Of 100+ Buildings To Put In Your Fantasy Town

TBOFS CONTEST TOP THREE WINNERS

this was tough, to say the least. SO MANY beautiful designs (which I’ll be compiling as the voting goes on) and so many tough decisions between them. I chose the three that I could see best with the prompt, but everyone did so so well. Thank you for your submissions.

TOP THREE WINNERS (voting is below them)

Allseer! I’m in love with the shapes used, and the colors and patterns are wonderful. Overall totally hit the mark with “recognizable but not overloaded”! He looks like he’d fit right in with the gang.

I didn't want to participate in this contest at first, but I made a sketch in the hour I was riding the bus, so here you go. I tried to draw

Naysayer! I loved this one because I didn’t expect a Karen type, but I’m not complaining! Was pleasantly surprised. Very unique wings, and her face is perfect for her personality idea.

Made you a NightWing I call her Naysayer, though that might be too silly, idk. Perhaps that name was given to her in the hopes that she wou

@cowgomoo1123

Brightfuture! I found myself being really drawn to this design. The pink belly is super cute, and I adore the wing patterns. I was really stuck between Brightfuture and a few others, but kept coming back to him.

Gargoyle NightWings is a really unique take and I'm here for it

Nightwing concepts. Going for a gargoyle look

DUUUDDEEE your art is insane!! I ADORE the scales you draw and render, and how you make so much of your illustrations look like real work staff from WoF would make! Do you have any tips for scales? Rendering? Drawing them :0?

thank you so much!! for scales, i'd recommend avoiding circle shapes and instead go for a more angular hexagonal shape! it reduces weird gaps in between the scales and makes the texture look a lot more tight-knit and interconnected

as for rendering, i think my best tip would be to start with shadows first. make a shadow layer, fill it in entirely with the base color for the shadows, and carve out the light source by erasing parts of the shadow layer. I've been trying out a new method of rendering which takes a lot less time but gives the same if not better results (using a color layer on multiply above a greyscale render layer with a color overlay to add color to the shadows! i'll go more in depth with this once i have a finished example piece to break down)

and i usually render scales by filling in each individual scale above the lineart to create an alpha mask and i use a clipping group using the mask

scale mask (normal layer mode, 100% opacity)

set to "color dodge" at 40% opacity, additional "shadow" layer (black color layer set to "erase" above the layers in the clipping group) used to create depth!

Aye, that's my gryphon 🧡

artfight revenge for long-bird! what a cool-ass gryphon!!!

Some designs of griffons that I've done before. Technically they were me figuring out a character for the Girfugol ARPG, but there's a slim chance I'll actually use any of these.

Species combos: dromeosaurus albertensis/Quercylurus major, yellow bellied sunbird asity/tufted pygmy squirrel, African skimmer/oriental cat, and Anchiornis huxleyi/Yoshi garevskii

This is part 1, I'll show off more designs.

These guys! I'm glad to see them again

Random wings of fire surge but did you guys know I had fantribes along with their own continent and society and all that jazz.. highly doubt I'll bring back the entire thing but I still like their designs...
