    These images were created in LAB (not RGB) after changing the way colours work in Photoshop:

    I admire the way that despite your brush strokes being soft and loose, you still conveyed a hard shiny floor beneath. I'm guessing it's the color that sells it.

    Turns out I never uploaded this custom paint job on a PC case, for a GW2 fan:

    Here's an animation, from sketch to finish.

    That's cool! It's neat to see your stuff pulled off with physical media.

  • SiegfriedSiegfried Registered User regular
    Let me know if you ever end up using those reference photos from Fries, I think it'd be cool to see what you do with a place I actually know

    Also, good shit

    I love seeing your work in acrylic(?), and having it look exactly so much like your digital work - ridiculous. Every time I see you post or update the blog I get legit excited to paint, it's just inspiring.

    That's the best compliment I could receive! Thank you for saying so. And yes, that was acrylics.

    Here it is, @Siegfried ! I think I'm done working on this one. I could texture it all, but I'm losing too much patience and time on this!

    Digital comps for oil paintings. I did these in my stream, so you could watch from start to finish if you really wanted to:

    All my warm-ups 'll be in oils for the next month or so. I'm tired of making excuses for not painting traditionally.

    Thanks, Miss! Astronaut was about 30min, and the boy is about 20min.

    Also, my show was short, quick, and fun. And now I can actually say I had a solo show, so that may be the best part!

    And I did this one today, while watching Battle Royale and being distracted all over the place:

    Is this MGS Snake? Regardless, you channel that illustrative style spot-on.

    Indeed it is! I have some album art coming up that employed Yoji Shinkawa's aesthetic, so I copied one of his images. It's very relaxing to brush-pen around and do something unusual like that.

    Your stuff has always felt very Shinkawa to me, and seeing the Snake drawing has tickled me just right.

    Sorry I forgot about you, AC. Here's a sketch to show I remember now.

    Post more, man. You've gotta have some drawings piled up back there.

    You still thinking about doing a comic?

    Thanks, Iruka! Good to be back. By the end of 2013 I had over 200 unpublished sketches in Alchemy. I guess I could empty them here!

    Also, I actually did some comic work over Christmas Break, but it's so gross and sketchy I don't know if I'd post it yet. Thank you for keeping me accountable, Friend. c:

    Just poooosst stuffffff, who cares if the comic is sketchy? Did you see the scribbles I posted for my comic? Some pages are illegible, man.

    Glad to have you around though. You should make a resolution in the enrichment thread before I turn it over.

    Time to take you up on your offer, Iruka. I've been doing some VERY rough biographical comic doodles after reading Persepolis.

    Wayhaaayy,

    Awesome man, awesome. What have you been up to? I think if you get into a rythm of doing these you'll have something interesting!

    So glad you are taking up the comics, keep doing it.

    Still doing the furry freelance thing as my most reliable demographic. But 2014 is the first year I started doing personal work. I'm not pulling any punches with subject matter, and deciding however sexual, dogmatic, or philosophical my subject matters I'm gonna share it anyway. Also got into Spectrum this year, so I'm hoping that'll bring some good connections, too!

    Though I can feel how healthy comics are for me to create, I know I still need to hone my craft on paintings, especially if I want to enter a collector's market in fine art. Here's one of my more successful pieces from this year:

    Excellent. I'm glad to have you still floating around, I hope you'll post both comics and paintings, though you have to omitt anything too sexy.

    Grats on getting into spectrum, I hope it brings good things your way.

    Another huge milestone has arrived:

    C48hiK9.jpg

    I wanted to find the perfect platform to release intimate and personal work—including some of my auto biographical comics!—and found this to be the perfect platform. Along with live Q&As, I'll also have .psd files for you to scrutinize my weird digital process. And if that wasn't enough, I'm offering lite mentorships for students and artists on tight money and time budgets!

    This will be unlike any Patreon before it, so even if you decide not to donate, I hope you at least stick around for some curious art discussions. Thank you, friends!

    Patreon falls under our blanket ban on kickstarter/crowdfunding links, sorry. If theres a link to it on your website that can be in your signature.

    I hope you'll continue posting in the AC, when you get the chance! Good luck on your Patreon.
