mermaid shibari lineart

As it is the last day of May, even if it's still in process, here the lineart of the last mermaid anyway! And I'm really sorry for the censor but I had fun with it ^^. For the next one it will be without and colored (hopefully soon, but I'm a bit busy with other stuff)

Shibari

Some little pencil drawing for a change finished a little while ago.  May is definitively a bit lewd. Nothing really realistic with ropes tho...

Making a little break from digital works atm, working a bit back on my storyboard.

shading

some shadows on the background

Lineart

lines, lines, lines, LINES, pfiouuu! Not that long tho, very mechanical drawing process, pretty fun ^^, but happy that it's done.

It's friday!!

A little step by step

Well, had to take a commission in a hurry with really tight deadlines,  so here are some steps of it from very rough idea to the begining, of refinning, and lineart. I will post more following my own  progress. Hope to make the faster as possible but I never make something simple... damn... ^^'

Damned ropes

Just some spoil/update for the last mermaid, but as said in the title,  damned ropes... wanted to draw precisely and in full to contrast with  the body, and it works well, but it takes time ^^' + the time to find  how and where to make the way for the rope...

Nautilus

Feeling definitively and surprisingly, pretty inspired with this theme.

Mixing drawing, and kind of compositing, playing with colours sheme, blur and noise. Really fun and this time really managed to speed up a bit all my process.

Coloring and shading (quietly)

Some saturday progress. Used bruches completely differently for testing.

The shading is done in one layer with only hard edge, will maybe smooth it a bit but not sure (sharp is good for this one^^)

Hope you're having all a good weekend!

Armoured mermaid: Nautilus, wip.

The next one, decided finally to do it because I liked the composition. So here the inked lineart (digital), differently from the previous one, I didn't use here the opacity pressure to have only a full black lineart.

The second picture is just the first one again with a very little update on the buttocks which had a bit too much shadows after the highlight pass.

The mermaids fisherman

Finally finished it in the month! \o/

I post it there for everybody because I will post it soon on social media, but only my backers have seen the progress from the sketch ;) (and the sketch the next one to do, hopefully, this month too).

Not easy to give the underwater feeling, but I have a lot of fun with this one.

Compared to the last wip I shared here, I added one more layer of shading and one of white/blue highlights. I Complexified a bit the background with more water ...

Kinky cyberpunk pinup (2)

As promised, the second batch. Hope you enjoy it!

In conclusion: I'm not totally satisfied with several stuff with this one. Technically the process is too complex, and the base sketch was not well polished enough on some parts. But I think that the cyberpunk and the bondage/porn stuff give some more *interest* and make it works anyway (even if everything is rather unrealistic). I will post some close-up and alt stuff as a kind of bonus in a next post.

Kinky cyberpunk pinup (1)

Well, turned rather lewd ^^'. Alt versions are not infinite but there is so many layers that it's easy to be lost or to make mistakes when exporting ^^'. I think that I'm not really  up to speed with technical aspect, but well anyway call it done this little chronological porn series... next and last part tomorow!

Kinky stuff

While I'm still struggling with my mermaids, and trying to export  properly the various alt versions of this artwork, just some little  preview details of what's comming next on the slicer tier. 

Not really  used to do this kind of stuff, but it happens sometimes...

Background

At first welcome to the newcomers, thank you for joining! I'm happy to see that we are growing. Slowly but surely!

Just some update on the background of the "Mermaids fisherman" (not decided on title yet). Was  finally pretty useful to work on some psychedelic spatial  background stuff in the past, because the way I did them can be used for  the surface of the sea, or at least suggest it.

Have a good weekend!!

Cyberpunk cop officer pinup

Working very too long on this one for the result, but I can't take it  anymore. Not really happy with it, from lineart to coloring it was pretty a  mess. Wanted at first to make something fast, was an absolute failure,  but well, let's say it's practice and fuck off! ^^' have to move  forward! The main reason is probably the lack of purpose I guess. Enjoy anyway versions and details, more coming soon or almost. Have still to add  little stuff (if I still have the ener...

Mermay Wip coloring

Some progress but not as much as I wanted as I'm working on several stuff at the same time (but in the same time: more stuff incomming :)). Made some adjustments and started to add a global pass of shading, still rough and unfinished, but we get a better idea of the mood.

Colouring wip

Always pretty long and not easy ^^'... Trying to make it quite simple, but well... There are just flat and some gradient colors and I added an upper colored layer to make all a bit more homogenous. Still have to set it well with shading and lights

Wip linearting

Mermaid 3 in progress. Trying various stuff for lineart, just messing around. Good night!

Mermaid hunt

Linearting sunday. Added some value to be more readable.

Mermaids

Well, it's May, and I didn't do only one damned mermaid ever for the "mermay" art challenge or whatever. Maybe time to make some "trending" stuff to be more noticeable on social media -_- So anyway, 3 sketches, I hope to finish at least one this month ^^'. The last one is inspired by some old sculpture I saw, turned a bit special... What's your favourite?

Making stories

A bit presumptuous, I have not really something to teach about this (and about anything else probably), but anyway some thoughts, and also how I came to make my stories for my comics zine. Ideas come mostly with only one drawing, that tells me a whole story.

For the first issue, it is finally a part of an old story I had in stock, I had already tried to make a comic with it but I failed because too ambitious for my skills at all levels in comics especially storyboard, and I didn't know ...

Figure drawing

I don't do often figure drawing from "live model" (in photography), but sometimes it helps at some point. There, are 3 short sessions I did lately for morning practice and warm-up (the last one is a bit hotter).

Just some poses and very little time for each. I stop when the page is full, no need to care about anything and that's cool.

Doing this more often could really improve more quickly, anatomy and gesture skills, but I well, I don't like to do this very much ^^'...

Sketch

Another cyberpunk character in the process, wanted a different kind of body shape, but I'm struggling with time to go further for now.

Wardoll

An old artwork I still like and that I revisited a little while ago, and I did at this time some more spicy version for fun.

Spicy flashback

Back to 2020, complete exclusivity because I never shared this commissioned piece anywhere. A4, pencil and digital coloring.

It was probably the first really explicit work I did, I don't know if this project will be live one day. You can easily spot the differences with the base pencil drawing. I had to rework a bit in digital to satisfy the client who was scared to take the whole stuff in the face ^^'... Anyway, was a fun one.

I always really enjoyed pencil drawing, and I should ...

Updates and wip

Welcome to all the newcomers thank you for joining! And thank you all for your support past or present it helps a lot and it's motivating. 

Here some updates on previous drawing in process. Athena will be in only one version (if I manage to finish it), but the cyberpunk girl will offer more on this point, hope to finish asap to show you. Hope that you like!

Streetkrvzader

Nothing exclusive here, just a little post to keep you updated about  this cover artwork you might know from where it comes as you have been  able to see some wip about it. The music (it's just a single so it's why  it's *strongly* cropped) is out just today, so you can listen to it.  Was pretty inspiring for doing the whole artwork.

Morning sketch warmup, and screen recording test

Well, several stuff there.

1- a morning sketch warmup made this morning that I tried to record for testing. When I started I really didn't know what I will do. I often stumble on this character

2-  the link of that record.  Was shitty with only VLC and photoshop, all wasn't totally recorded, there was some red screen I don't why.... well ^^', anyway it's here if you are interested (I can't post videos on patreon because my page is 18+...). The video is not public and ava...

Updated pinup

Well the speed up test is a bit a failure ^^' had to make corrections... Shading is still very rough, nothing really finished, but wanted to see if it could fit in a background, so here 2 options for fun

Pinup. Speed up process

As I struggle a bit with storyboarding this weekend, I tried to speed up my usual process on digital, with this kind of pinup. Wanted something quickly done more than accurate. Still not any shading, just flat and local colors. Was done in few hours, about 2-3.

I would say that it has been possible to make it faster than usual by doing this last week some sketches pretty badly btw about this pose or similar. Well always practice helps even if the result is often not as good as we want.<...
