Attempted Stylizing
Added 2019-05-01 05:28:14 +0000 UTCWorking on the next comic update!
Meanwhile, here's something else I've had in progress for a while (I've shared the top four in the past).
In art, sometimes the most difficult thing is trying to override your usual habits - rendering, detailing, and texturing everything to death, uh, for instance. Here I'm instead trying to distill the characters down to fewer lines to rely more on overall shape, and to push those shapes somewhere a bit bolder. With that in mind, many of them still need work (and color), but it's good exercise. It also has a second purpose, but I'll talk more about that when the time is right.
Bonus Killjoy and DJ Jazzy Viktor at the bottom. Livestreams get a little weird sometimes...

I love the brushes you used for linework
2020-05-23 00:06:37 +0000 UTCYour character design is, as always, a master class in silhouette recognition (sooo many creators fail or simply don’t bother with such a critical element..)

2019-05-01 08:20:33 +0000 UTCI think if you can be as faithful as these are to your ultra-rendered versions, and not kill yourself in the process, these will be amazingly well-received! :D
