Drifter Process

Full process! This was by far the simplest one to trim down. Two crisp clips. Beautiful.

Drifter

Speedy practice thing. 3 hours 40 in all.

WIP

Another strange happening in the woods

Ear Monsters for Meatcanyon's new vid

Some designs for the gross yucky ear creature in MeatCanyon's EARWAX video. There was a lot of iteration that went into figuring out the functionality of the monster. The final design was eventually given a quick scribbly edit to replace the arms with centipede legs.

Changes to the Everything Tier

Hey guys, I'm going to change the price of the Everything subscription tier from £5 to £3. As Patreon doesn't allow you to change the price of a tier once people have subscribed, I've created a new everything tier which you should be able to access, and next week I'm going to delete the current one.

The reason I'm doing this is because I think for what I'm posting £5 is a little much to ask. There are other Patreons charging the same whilst also providing tutorials and hosting art ...

Mushroom Dude Process

A little over 6 hours in total

Mushroom Dude Steps

Another attempt at doing something quick that started to get away from me. Bit of a messy finish. Had to crop the legs off just to cut the render time down. I have other bigger paintings that I want to prioritize.

CaveNutz

Another of the evolving narrative things I did a while back. The idea for these guys is that they ran a spelunking YouTube channel and these images are the only frames salvaged from their recovered camera. Everything else was corrupted.

Goblin Video + PSD

Goblin Steps!

I have a tendency for drawing dudes in a 3 quarter angle and making the shoulder very prominent. I always like painting shoulders. You can put a lot of nice subtle shifts of hue and value in them

Regenerator PSD + Partial Process

The process video for this one starts at a pretty late development stage. For the first chunk of the rendering I wanted to just jump in without hitting record. Once it started to take shape I started recording. Mostly what you see is me in the detailing phase. Most of the lighting and forms are established so I'm just focusing on getting things crispy.

Regenerator Full res + Steps

With the initial monotone sketch I felt that the design was way too close to the design for the regenerators as they appear in the new remake. Ironically I don't really like the new design that much. I think the skin texture looks sort of rubbery and fake. And I hate the big cartoony teeth and the over-modelled cheek bones. So when it came to rendering this guy up I spent a good while reworking the face until I liked the look. At the end I added in all the little tendrils to further sell the ...

Floating Witch Process + PSD

Started out as not much more than an idea for a pose, which is the case for quite a lot of my recent stuff. Once I was into the details I was mostly focused on avoiding making her look overly grotesque, and instead trying to create a more ethereal vibe.

Floating Witch Steps

The dress went through a handful of design changes. Ended up looking at a whole lot of Victorian women's fashion by the end

Scary Charlie (For MeatCanyon) + unused animation

Had the silly idea to have charlie show up completely shrouded in hair, only to have a slow reveal

Shedding Process and PSD

Shedding Steps

A sketch that I sort of dislike. It went through a whole bunch of changes as I tried to come up with something interesting. Ultimately the whole process felt too manufactured. I think the end result is just about passable.

Thing Full Res

Thing PSD + Video Process

Show and Tell

Hey guys! Mixed up the time for the show and tell. I meant GMT not EST. So it's happening in one hour and 40 mins. Sorry about the mixup!

Discord is Up!

Hey guys, finally set up the friggin discord (You can access via the membership page)! Planning to do a show and tell there tomorrow at 1PM EST tomorrow. Feel free to join!

Trepanation PSD + Process Vid

A fun one to work on. The idea was pretty standard, just another scary naked dude. Process was very smooth from start to finish, didn't have to wrestle with it all that much

Trepanation Steps

Trepanation Steps!

House Call

Another anthological thing I painted a couple of years ago. Was part of the same project as the Family Portrait I posted a few weeks back. Lots of tricky elements to work out with this idea. The background is much more photobash-y than my usual stuff (the floorboards/deck railing). Even so I think this one is my favourite of the bunch.

No WIP Roundup this week

Hey guys, no WIP roundup this week. I've been jumping between various freelance gigs so the amount of progress I can show on personal work is pretty negligible. 

However! I'm starting to think it might be interesting to turn the weekly WIP roundup into a group show and tell thing. Where you guys can show some of the stuff you're working on too if you want. I'm thinking maybe the best way to do this would be via Discord. Let me know if this is something you guys would want to do. 2023-03-12 20:51:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Smoking Barrel Animation Process

Decided to record the process of working on the animation frames. It's usually a phase of the painting that gets quite messy and uncertain. It's for sure the one area where my skills are the most amateurish, but I thought it might be interesting to watch as I figure it out

Smoking Barrel Full Process + PSD & Animation Video

Some of you might remember me mentioning this idea in a WIP Roundup a couple weeks back. I think this version worked better than the previous attempts for a couple of reasons. For one the environment is pretty understated, made up of a few sparse objects. For another it has the big red herring of the body in the foreground and the moving trail of smoke to distract from the scary corner guy. 

Still a little sloppy, I think there's something slightly off about the scale of the backgr...

Bitey Video Process

Bitey Video Process

Bitey PSD

Another monster portrait thing. Had no particular idea in mind when starting out, just kept fiddling with the shapes until it started to come together. Initially the head was more abstract. I kept wanting to lean more towards a blockier shape but the more I fiddled the more human the facial proportions became.

New Tags and PSDs!

Hey guys, just a quick update to let you know I've finally realized you can organize posts via tags so I've gone back through and labelled all the videos so they're much easier to find. I've also added a couple of PSD's and tagged them too! I have to scale them down quite a bit in order to upload them but I've kept the layers separated. 

Thanks!

Dan
