WIP

Well, it takes ages to finish this one, yet the line part is almost done! Then I'll add a few shadows and it will be ready for scanning~

WIP

Hey guys, I've been wondering if you would like to see the whole sketches before the scanned line, or you are fine with these bits so not to spoil the final one?

Tell me in the comments your thoughts!

New illustration is on its way~

Interactions

Tried a little bit of interactions from Rah's side. 

Also, that thing in his hands on the left is something like a belly dancing belt, hmm... dancing Rah, that would be quite something.

And yup, hounds keep getting bigger x'D I dunno why it happens, probably need to draw them together even more to get a better feeling of accurate proportions.

Paper testing

Hey-hey, it's tiny Rah on a paper sample <3

I really was quite skeptical about quality of this paper (due to its texture, I had a lot of bad experiences with such stripes), yet after I tried it it feels awesome, the colors stay bright and pen line flows really well, so if you'll ever look for a watercolor paper check mix-media 300 g/m² from Canson (not sponsored or anything! I'm just used to thin paper for every media, and the change of thickness brings a brand new experience)

Old ideas

Oops, forgot to scan these sketches. They were ideas for hounds before the current design; so yup, I definitely like our actual companions much more than these mishaps of evolution.

Rah: watercolors

And here is the scanned version~

Still it was quite an interesting experience, gonna make more of these in the future.

Rah

And done!

Tried to stick just to one watercolor brand and was a bit disappointed in it, so decided to use gouache on top to fix a problem with saturation that it had.

I'll scan it when it dries up~

Gonna try and color him with watercolors~

Forgotten legacy

And done! That was quite something to work on. 

Also, got a chance to experiment with clouds, the sky looks much more interesting with them~

Thumbnails!

Hey guys, I definitely want to tease you even more, here is the sheet full of future illustrations, two from which were already made and third, with the pyramid, is on its way~

P.S.: once all illustrations from this side will be done, I will reveal sketches and compare them to the final results, so don't think that I'm that cruel!

WIP: we're definitely marching towards our goals...

Okay, I admit that such illustrations are a whole new beast; I remember the times of the Last Chance comic, and it was much easier because of the sketchiness of the style, yet this one is quite something, and I feel like with more of similar works we can open a brand new page for the project and the characters, but for now our guinea pig will be Rah and his companions. I also will try to include Vega in here, yet I still have to practice human faces so they wouldn't terrify anyone, including ...

Forgotten legacy

Travels have taken Rah to many places all across the Arnainskiy Cross galaxy, and who knows, maybe one day they will take him even beyond the known cosmos.

Glow

Experimental coloring. At first I wanted to make one color background and only tentacles and eyes glowing in the dark. One day I'll make it too. Right now here is the today's result~

Rahhar's first hound

The pencil part is done!

Also, I decided to share the lines too, because I think that you might be interested in seeing them as well before the colors, and speaking about them, most likely I'll finish this one tomorrow (today)

And one more thing, both companions are in need of a name! Any suggestions?

Hey-hey, just finished piece of the day!

A spontaneous idea pretty much, yet I like how it turned out~

Hadn't touched digital sketching in quite a while, yet I'm definitely happy with how it turned out~

Happy New Year to everyone!

Hey guys, it's 2020 on this part of a globe! 

Happy New Year to each and everyone of you! Hope this year will bring you only the good stuff, and everything else will be left in the previous one~

Also, as only two people voted on the poll, I myself picked YouTube variant for posting videos (two against one, sorry guys!), and this one will be the last on here, - count it as a New Year gift~

Rah: body, companion, scars

Finally Rah has a full body sketch~

Also, as you might see, one of the companions has been updated as well. Another thing is his back scars. They might look like this but might be slightly changed in the future. And there is just a floating hand.

A question

Hey guys, today I woke up with a question, would you like to see new videos here, on Patreon, before the rest of the world, or on the YouTube when I publish them?

I fear that the difference in content can create a mess, and I need your opinion.

Sketchbook tour | Aliens and their worlds

I think I just died from the inside. Yet now I know that I have a fear of speaking in English. Like, it took me eight tries to even say the intro without tripping over the words (which I can't say about the rest of the video :D ). I feel like making them will be a challenge on its own for me, but oh welp, there are no coming back and I'll torment everyone (including myself) till they, the videos and my speaking skills, become better.

I also want to release videos for you sooner than Fri...

Rahhar's scars

Hmm, I wonder should I rate it 18+ or not... just kidding. Still not sure about the scars' pattern, but it's definitely something close to this one. It also covers his back quite a lot, so we need a few more nude sketches to figure it out~

Veylus: sketches (v.13)

Well, I went totally mad with colors on these... Nevertheless, the last page is here and the sketchbook is finally finished! And that's means that now I can work on the script and some notes for the video. Still I would like to wait for the table to arrive, because due to my current one (2.5 meters of narrow, immobile nonsense) I can't place lights opposite to each-other, and I would rather not want to film it on a stool (or do I...?). And yup, the tripod arrived as well~
