How I do an emote
Added 2020-03-13 00:32:59 +0000 UTC
this is an example I've done for baabuska ( twitch partner streamer ) , she asked me for an article a while ago
the process it's simple
- I am often asked to do the " LUL" emote since it's popular and used by many in the chat
- I have some samples but some of them they are not looking 100% the same
- since it's like a laughing emote , I try to resemble that emotion
- I do the base plan movement, then the shape of the character
- then the line-art - lining
- then I do the base color for the skin, I focus on that and then I go to hair and other details
- I do plan on a video for a better view of my work in these ^^ ( my process is the same sort of in each piece I do when I start the color part)
I use https://twitch-contrast.firebaseapp.com/ <- Contrast tool website - easy to test the emotes before being accepted + badges - for visibility in the chat
I hope this is useful for some emote artists <3
