Student

An outfit that was designed for me from a commission I got! Wanted to do some art of these outfits for a while so here it is :)!

Outfit in question: https://twitter.com/ningenzoo/status/1548937230789771264?s=20

Kind of a different process for my drawing -> thumbnail, sketch, flats, grayscale shading, then mix colors with shading

I'm pretty happy with the result! I'm most ...

cool dog (lycan)

Just wanted to draw him again! I guess at this point he does count as an oc huh. Also the bottom right was a WIP that I stopped working on last year that I repainted over. Been testing on coloring and shading techniques; the one on the left was shaded in grayscale!

bun '23

Drawing the bun for the first time in a while, for the year of the rabbit! The lighting and fireworks stuff are pretty experimental cause I never worked with it much, but I think it looks good enough ^^

Noisemaker

Quick drawing that still hopefully looks good while skipping out on some very time-consuming parts like proper lineart! Wanted to make it more of a doodle-like drawing.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

Christmas Mia

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! Here's a Mia to celebrate with you.

Based on the character Mia from the game: World Flipper. I've been wanting to draw her and this Christmas skin gave me a good excuse to! Hope I did her justice c: 

WIPS:

initially wanted her to hold a present behind her back, but changed it cause the anatomy wouldn't work

Zera

Refined a doodle I showed from the last post! First refined pic of Zeraora. Blue electricity is cool as hell

Did a different way of creating this picture, which resulted in a faster process. But- it's also pokemon which usually takes me a shorter time than a furry character.

Assorted doodles (of various quality)

Spent the last few days doing some low pressure doodles of whatever I can think of. Practicing body shapes, faces, drawing new and old characters! 

It's much easier on paper for me for some reason; it might be because of how intimidating a large canvas size is. I started getting better at it near the end, focusing on getting the idea out without fixating on having to get the lines perfect.

Ruins

Maybe next time you shouldn't leave the tiny dragon at home unattended!

Another picture to practice backgrounds with! This time trying even more difficult structures like rock formations and textures. It took quite a while but I'm pretty happy with the result! Also I really like the croptop hoodie so I brought it back again~

Study

Hey all! Another pretty big project :'3 More practice with backgrounds and lighting! Pretty happy about the results. It does feel nice to give pieces a background to work with, rather than a simple gradient that I usually fall back on. But it also requires a lot more time, haha! Also you have to go into the drawing with the idea of doing a background, instead of doing it last.

Tones

Just wanted to experiment with some tones. Kite's really good at it so I had them help me learn some tricks, like the gradient tone on the typhlosion! This kind of style requires me to do lineart at the start and I've gotten so used to being kinda lazy about it because I can paint over it... this was rough :'3

Got another pretty cool in the works as well, so hoping it goes well!

yukata glaceon

"but it's not summer!" you say. Any season that isn't winter might as well be for glaceon! :'3 

I really wanted to do a drawing involving those tassel accessories, inspired by character art Cleo from Dragalia Lost:

I really liked how it turned out!

fun fact: The flowers are snowdrops: flowers that bloom in the snow, and something I do like involving glaceon with.

Crop-top derg

Wanted to do something involving like a crop-top because I wanted to practice doing a more defined belly region for practice! Another painted piece where the lineart was done after the painting, kinda weird but it works haha

Doing basic shading blocks before starting to render something helps a lot. It makes it so going back and painting over something you didn't like not too bad aka. less sunken cost (which im pretty susceptible to)

Late Night Studies

Wanted to draw the cat oc! She'd definitely play some chess by herself in bed to practice...

Another painting! This one took a while... Shading/painting on white is kind of hard! I'm not that great at color theory yet, haha. Coloring chess pieces were really fun though; I like her theme.

Fast delivery

Wanted to do my wolf, and also had an idea with those waitresses with rollerskates! Combined the two, here is the result :3 Started off doing lineart and such, but ended up painting it. I'm starting to become a big fan of painting!

lopunny wind gif

been a while, wanted to do another animation. Focused more on having a smooth animation, but because more time was spent there, I had less motivation to fully color and such. Usually, animations go by 24 fps, but I didn't know that for all my previous animations, so this should look a lot smoother now!

Doodles: glaceons, palicoes

Been doing a lot of pieces that focused on getting the details on one character very well done, wanted to relax a bit.

I do want to be able to allow myself to finish some doodles, give it some basic grayscale and call it done, but I often force myself to finish pictures, haha.

big hoodie

Been a while since I did an oversized hoodie! Still one of my favorite outfits :3 It's just hard to incorporate subtle parts of anatomy of the body with it. 

Speaking of anatomy, I started practicing having better ways to build a character using shapes! I'll have some extra pictures below the WIPs if you want to see.

Temperature control

It's the summer which means it's beach time! Kite and I joke how I use them as a heater cause I'm cold all the time, so here's the opposite of that :'3 Must be rough being under the sun with all that fluff!

Long day

Some fanart of some characters I liked for a long time but haven't drawn before! This is another painting and it took me around 40~ hours to complete, phew! The last few days were definitely rough with 6-7 hour sessions to finish the piece. But I'm glad it's finally done.

The characters are from a gacha game I played when I was in High School: Puzzles and Dragons.

Painting

Just tried a new style of art, painting! Everything being on layer is kinda weird, and was hard at first to get everything to blend the way I wanted it to. But I think it turned out okay at the end!

partial maid glace

Wasn't initially gonna be a maid outfit, but I actually like the apron the outfits have, so I wanted to give them it.

A bit more of a faster paced drawing to see how well I can do a drawing in a smaller amount of time. I'd definitely like to finish drawings faster!

snacking all day

Wanted to test around developing a more appealing eye style! So was thinking of ways to do multiple pictures of the derg, so I thought of food! 

It's supposed to look like time is passing from day to night between the four pics.

Also I got the backgrounds by going around Genshin and taking some screenshots, adding some colors to make it match the theme, and blurring it. First time doing something like this, but I think it looks pretty good!

shark attack

Someone else's character! Messed around with how I do lighting again, and using a more harmonized color pallete:

Choosing the base colors and then layering them on top of a main theme color, then lowering the opacity of the basic colors a bit to make them similarly influenced by the theme!

Got this tech from: https://youtu.be/dxRBe8vm_mE?t=12

Reshi

Pink hoodies work well on any character!

Been wanting to do another reshiram for a while now... but geez the fluff takes an extremely long time to get it to look right. It's hard going for a mix of your own style + staying true to the OG design.

WIPS:

Rough idea, had a lot more going perspective wise, but was unsure how it'd turn out in the final process, so I simplified it

claws out

Used a new textured brush for the lineart for this one! And a much larger canvas, so it might be hard to see the texture unless you zoom in, which is perfect! Been experimenting a bit with stuff, if you couldn't tell from the unfinished sketches I made, haha!

Dress

Dresses are cute! But I don't draw them much, so I'd like more practice :'3 I haven't drawn my sona in a dress before but they look pretty nice!

fancy cat

Felt like doing another formal dress outfit kind of thing, so this is the go-to oc for it :'3

Small, uncomplicated background, not much details and added a small Gaussian blur to make it not draw too much attention. I liked the idea but not sure if I did it too well. Hopefully it's enough because others won't stare at it for too long, haha!

shadow

Wanted to play with lightning more! Was fun, learned a decent amount. Giving a small glow around objects that are lit up helps it contrast better with objects not under light!
