November Pin-up - Peony!

Heya!! Here's this month's pin up. Peony is such a cutie right!!! I hope I was able to make him justice.

 I watched the cutscenes of the Crown Tundra expansion to get to know him better! As much as I like additional information about him (like the ones in his trainer card) I really feel he's a wasted potential as a character....... ;____; I thought the fact he was possessed EVERYTIME he was on screen funny so I wanted to make this one with two versions, one goofy peony and the othe...

Whenever it rains - Thumbnailing done!

 Oof, not used at all do doing those but I had lots of fun! For now I'll just be revealing this blurry snippet, but that's how the thumbnails are looking like. That's be 24 pages + cover... I hope I learn a lot as I do it. ((:

  For now I think I'll let it rest for a bit and move on to the monthly pin-up. I have to organize my queue, right! I want to do everything with the due patience and effort they demand, hehe......

Whenever it rains - Ikazuchi Pereira 02

 Testing outfits out!!

 Worked over the template I posted recently!

The story has pretty much "rain" as a theme, so I wanted Ikazuchi to look cozy! I think it evokes a bit of stuff you'll wear on a rainy day! 

Baggy, comfortable clothes with an outermost jacket that is masculine and kinda i...

Whenever it rains - Ikazuchi Pereira 01

 Hey everyone!! I'll start posting the experiments I did for the two main characters while I'm finishing the thumbnailing for the one shot! 💙💙💙

 So... this here is the reclusive author! Such a grumpy face don't you agree?! I really don't know why, but I always had this story going on in a japanese setting - so I'm feeling like a total weeb...... 

 While I was gathering inspiration from dojinshis I read as a teen, as I said in ...

New Patreon Project - "Whenever it rains"

 Oooh what's this? A new project?! 

 If you want to know more about it and skip the more personal segment, please do a little jump below! I put up a page break to where you can know more about the project.

 After making patreon in the end of 2018, it has helped me a lot to build pieces for a portfolio, practicing a LOT of themes and getting out concept art ideas!! I thank everyone here for that.

November Patreon Poll pick! ✰✰✰

The winner of this month's pin-up poll is Peony from Pokemon Sword & Shield: The Crown Tundra! You guys apparently looove handsome cute dads! Hehe.

 I didn't get to play the expansion but I'll surely watch the cutscenes where he's featured and think up of something cool, which I'm sure won't be hard as he's quite the charismatic fellow. Please look forward to it later this month! <:

Drawing board 06

 So, I have an interesting update this time!!

 My tablet started having some sensor problems with the pen last month... I fixed it but even then, I've noticed for some months that drawing felt a bit off. The tip was wobbly and would get too much inside the pen once I pressed it against the surface. I bought a new one from the cheaper wacom models (the only one I can afford!) and it arrived close to the end of the last month.

Build a Bear - Fall season

 Heya!!

 I was commissioned to do this piece by AJ over twitter. They gave me a moodboard of aesthetics and I was supposed to create a character and a composition based on it! I don't know why but when I saw it my head went directly to fairy rings! So I decided to work with the theme.

 I did some thumbnailing for this ...

October Pin-up - Hakan!

 Hey everyone!!

 As I've been practicing with 3D for environments, this time I picked up sketchup to try it out! You've seen me practicing it but this is the first time I actually use it for a composition! 

> Opposite to the last time I worked with 3D, I wanted to have a more loose approach to the structure. I didn't spend much time on it tbh, as I wanted to save the effort for the actual embelishment stage... Also if things and pre-rendered obje...

APRTN prep work 02

 Keeping up with the alchemist exploration! Still unsure of his face... here I had two approaches: a more long one and a more handsome macho one. I won't  tackle neither of these though - they still don't give off what I want!!!!!!

 Part of the unsureness is due to a lack of a main motif in his design... If you've noticed before, I usually grab some specific theme and build around it.

 When I was imagining him the yellow cloak had a st...

Pattern creation 01

 Hey everyone!!! As promised I have compiled some work I've been doing with patterns this month.

 I have experimented in the past with messy, fun patterns - which I consider a strength of mine! What I wanted to experiment this time is geometric patterns. Honestly they are quite hard!!! You have to be mindful of structure otherwise it looks off very easily. You can also notice they have a fancy energy surrounding them, which is kinda c...

APRTN prep work 01

 Some of the prep work I've been doing for my webcomic project, which i'll be calling APRTN for a while! Here's is one of the explorations processes I've been doing for one of the protagonists.  We'll be calling him Alchemist for now!

 The funny thing about this exploration is that usually I have sort of an idea in mind when designing a character, and then just try to build around it. Some characters though,like this one, I have zero mental image of! This...

Work topics for October!

 Hey Everyone!!

 How is everyone doing? Physiotherapy is going along slowly, but It's been helping steadily with my back pains. I hope everyone is taking care of yourselves as well!

 I have been taking a bit a time off of my usual work routine, which has been making me quite restless. I'm used to occupying all my day with work, and when I'm not working on something, I'm studying something to work on later....  ...

September Pin-up - Ring Star, Oushi Black!

 Hey everyone!

 Hope you're all faring well. Physio is proceeding nicely, the pains are getting duller by the day. I was able to finish this piece as well - even though my relationship with art has been at its most complicated in years, so I'd say I'm doing small progresses... thanks for being patient and sticking along with me. ❤️

 As you know, these Patreon projects are all meant to help me practicing new things. Last month I did it with a premade 3D model, wh...

My life as of now

 Hey everyone! 

 Hope you've been faring well. This update is more of a personal one,  so it's a bit different than usual. As patrons on one of my very few spaces of support, I honestly think I owe you at least a few of more intimate thoughts, specially if some of those may affect my productivity over here.

  I don't know if you've seen it, but I started physiotherapy last week. I developed chronic back pains and my right arm is not in the best shape....
