SDCC Catch-up Post (plus Bonus Anime Art !)

Added 2023-07-29 01:00:54 +0000 UTC

Thank you to those who were able to stop by the booth at SDCC and/or meet up in general! It's always a pleasure, and one of the reasons why conventions are so enjoyable. SDCC is definitely a tiring gauntlet though, and I'm catching up afterwards!

I wanted to make an SDCC post because it actually also hits a couple of the choices from this month's Anime poll along the way too!

SDCC Booth:

Live Drawing

This year, I used our booth's access to electricity to run a couple ipad Live Drawing Sessions! During which, I figured it would be a good excuse to make a Naga the Serpent pic, since she did pretty well in this month's poll!

Also, drew Nia and Cooking Mama as per requests during the session

I will post a process video and PSD in a Visionary Post next~!

Promotional art

I had life size cardboard cutout standees at the booth this year- here is the art used for that!

Plus, a Pochita sticker variant, and a couple of Splatoon prints I made to match with a Deep Cut print I had done earlier.

SDCC Commissions:

I've also included the commissions I did during this convention, one of which happened to be Noi ! So I figured coloring that would also be a fun addition to this month's theme~

One of the most interesting and unusual commissions I got was to draw the 4th general from Indivisible. The unused concept of a hypothetical character, of which I guess the design was never publicly shown. I figured I could kinda mention a bit of it while on the topic, and shared some concepts from it. Dhar, being earth elemental, basically suggests the presences of wind, fire, and water elemental generals too. The water one's design was never publicly shown, but I figure I could include the others here, plus their notes. A lot of it, being an incomplete and ultimately dropped concept, is kinda janky and informal. It was kind of funny being asked to draw the character, as I had to just do it from memory on the spot.

Gifts!

Also! I got some fun gifts!!!!! Both from SDCC, and AX- and since I kinda ended up not having time to make a proper AX post, I figured I could at least share some of the gifts I got from both conventions~

SDCC:

I met up with long time patron and overall cool guy Dandy- we were able to hang out and draw- That was one of the few times I was able to leave the booth, so I am grateful for that. We did an art trade, and he drew Fallout and Dandy having a lively conversation, you could say~ 😊

I got this wonderful sketch of Crimson Mask Koujin and Air Heart from _ninjason_ !! I really love this drawing- Crimson Mask Koujin looks really really sexy here! She has good lips..! For.. kissing ..!! ...Yea! Mmm!!!! 🤤😋 And I think this is the first fanart of Air Heart too! The selective use of color is a nice highlight too~ I really appreciate seeing UMA fanart, it gets ME hyped for the project even more, and is always super motivating, so I appreciate that a ton!

Anime Expo:

I got this wonderful sketch of Bae Wulf and really cute and cool Fleur Sauvage face drawings from Colo, when I was hanging out with him and co. after AX. It was a fun drawing party and wind-down after the craziness of the convention! It's my favorite kind of thing to do at the end of the show~ Looks like Bae Wulf got tangled up there! She can be such a screw-up sometimes oh no!! Love these Fleur drawings too, Colo's drawings of her last year was definitely influencial to her current design, so it's nice to see more sketches of her here!

This cool dragon sketch appeared in my sketchbook during the trading and shuffling of books during the party! I am not sure who drew it, though T^T But I appreciate it's appearance, and it's a pretty cool drawing with some great texture/detail to it, as well~!

Next update!

I also have some sketches of Mirko and plan to do some for Froppy for this month's choices- so expect to see that next. I think this month sort of turned into a fulfill several of the choices with smaller illustrations rather than a big one for the top (though I'll see how far I can get with that too) - It's just been difficult to spin a few plates at the same time because of SDCC, and the subsequent crunch of time right after.
