wip final sketch

here the final sketch clean and ready to ink, i'm still not sure if i will ink traditionally or digitally, the style i will use i think it fits digitally better

or if i do it traditionally i think dip pen can't achieve the little details the style demands so i will have to use fineliners too, the only inconvenience with them is that they fade with time and after some years the lineart looks really bad (faded)

sorry for the delay on art lately btw

update: updated the last fra...

wip

sharing initial doodle, final doodle with hard pencil, plus 3 sheet layers with progression and the final doodle sketch with hard pencil to not damage the paper, now is ready to clean the line and detail, sorry for the delay on this sketch, was a little complex the composition and had to be careful with everything to not damage the paper

this part is the one that consumes lot of time the rest is relativelly faster

here sharing the worked doodle for the next sfw piece, i have to admit that this actually took me more tries that i have expected, lots of tries, and still not exactly a good idea but is the best i could get, hope once in the final sketch would look as good as i see it in my mind haha

i  will be working in between anothe project i have so will be working on both at the same time, will share wips for the other project too as soon as i start on it in the next days

here sharing wips, main color without sword, main color with sword and additional detail, and the final with bg done, before comoposite, will share the final composite next

i still don't know how to approach this style, i'm thinking seriosuly to start completely digital because i can't achieve the effect i want, but i'm getting better at it

original character illustration

here the final image with atmo effects and lights, i still can't get this lineart correctly, the damn 3d renders from the original artstyle does them really varied hard to emulate

will share full sized later

update: i won't be able to share this one full sized, a sincerely apology for it

update: did a little fix on her forehead and a small detail on her chin, also sharing the alternate color background

sharing a wip with finished color before composite, added a few light detail on hair and on the right area of the bed, next i will share the finished composite, i use photoshop to do this because whatever the bad reputation it has is the best app to composite, their algorithms to handle color effects are the best, painter, csp, artrage, gimp are horrible for that (but can be done with them but not the same quality)

i think i failed on this one, in the eyes, they correct anatomically spe...

finished the lineart, and the shadow lines too, now is ready to build the palette and color, this time i will try to approach the shading in the dark areas in a different way, the previous time i used this style i didn't achieve that, let's hope this time i will be able to hahahaha

wip

here sharing some wips, decided to do the final sketch traditionally but the clean lineart with shadow lines will be done digitally, it looks faded in the main sheet because i work with h pencils before detailing

1st doodle and 3 layer corrections body, hair and face, as well as the shadow test

will share the final sketch in a different post

sharing doodle for the next project, ready to start detailed sketch, i still don't know if i will do this sketch traditionally or digital, because the style i will use requires to have a full digital feeling

persona5 illustration

finished this one, sharing the clean one that has its charming lol

the art style used here was the one from the character illustration from the royal edition, the clean one, because there are others with messier inking, which was not the goal, exactly the one i used from previous p5 artwork, i still want to try the one with brushwork, but people seems to like this high contrast one instead

will share full sized later

ink done for the main illustration, will move to ink the additional frame

View Post

current wip

here the additional frame, this will be added on the lower right corner of the final illustration, now everything is ready to scan and ink digitally

probably will do 2 versions one with it and other without it, my original idea is without it, because for me just watching her head back angle is erotic enough, no need for more haha but is my personal taste

current wip

here the final sketch, will be cut on some areas, and will be loaded with lot of black in the background, is ready to scan and i will ink digitally, hopefully from this step and forward everything will be fast

current wip

working on this one, i have used the style before so it will take me less time i hope, i changed a few the angle in the final sketch moving the camera more to left, back focused and no explicit stuff (i think is more ero) and will add a small frame close up probably to the right with the licking action

is a persona 5 artwork

rosalina (final)

after some hours analyzing the coloring, i think i found the error and tried to fix it the best i could now is far better, the issue was that the transition between the dark and white areas was too light, so it gave an impression of being a flat image and not a round shape mainly her face, so i had to do some brushwork and higlight the white areas and darkening the shadows, also added a kinda similar ambient occlusion effect from the 3d cg (btw this term doesn't exist and is not used on tradt...

updated rosalina

did some changes on her face, defined a little more the features, reduced size on some areas and darkened more the shadows. i think it looks better.... i hope, still not good enough

i still don't like the pose and the blue lipstick tho :P

will share full-size later

rosalina illustration

here finished this one, i sincerly don't like this one, i failed terribly on the shading but i tried my best with my current skills can't do more as i will end up having the same result, maybe later on time i'll get used to this kind of coloring meanwhile i failed, i share the normal version, because i don't like the lipstick color

wasted too much time on the shading to not like it at the end, orz

here i scanned it, rotated clock-wise to have more stabilty, ready to color, this color will be kinda diferent as it won't have lineart at all in the final version, but i need it as guide atm

will be a killer color style to try honestly as i'm nothing used to this kind of coloring, totally new with it, i will fail but will try
