Rottytops sketches OCTOBER

As I mentioned in the Shantae Pumpkins WIP, I was exploring some ideas that could be worked around the Halloween theme, and I decided to share this portion of the Sketch session that I had with Rotty. 

The idea was to make her a vampire attire, so she could be wearing as a costume. I went and inked one of those sketches manually, because I liked her expression in particular, and so you could have an idea on how my traditional inking looks like. 

I'm not sure if I'm gonna fi...

Tabby Sketches OCTOBER

I've been wondering for some time, if I should or Shouldn't share some rough sketches that I work on a daily basis here on patreon.

I don't know If I ever mentioned it before, but I've created for myself the discipline of working at least one page of sketches per day, and I've stick to that for years now. As a result I have files that date back to more than 10 years ago and some others that I did waaay before that, like made in my notebooks in primary school... maybe?, (Those ...

Shantae Pumpkins WIP#4 OCTOBER

While I was thinking on  making a new fan art that went along with the October theme, I couldn't help but wanting to bring Shantae on it. I had a couple other ideas, but I was curious to see how you guys would react to see this type of adorable piece, instead of a spooky one, which would kinda be the expected thing to do. 

Also, since I kinda went ahead of myself last time and worked a more "epic" version of 2015-10-15 00:12:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Drawing Linker (Alt)

Since I started on Patreon, I've been looking for many types of content that I can do, and share with people that support me. Of course, a video came to mind, but the questions were how to do it, and what to show. 

This is my first attempt at doing this kind of content (hopefully not the last one) and I had many things in mind while doing it. 

Recently, I've been focusing on adding a human side to what I do, and what better way to show you ...

Iva drawing Process (GIF)

Today I was making a little experiment with the drawing process of Iva, Because I was thinking on new ways to show the entire creation process of an artwork, but  in a quicker and more accessible way.

I also wanted to test the GIF format on patreon to see how it worked. Because I been thinking on making some short animations, or even animated GIF comics... But we'll see how that develops over time.

I would like to know your opinions about it.  2015-10-12 01:19:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Apparently opening in a new Tab doesn't work anymore, for some reason (at least for me) so if you check it tell me how it works for you. 

If it doesn't work, maybe we'll have to come up with a new to display them :O

Also, I would like to know If it feels comfortable while you're checking it in, like in a particular device, like your pc, tablet or phone, It depends of what you use...

Here you have it! :D

#DailyParadox

Here's the comic I presented earlier in WIP#3 of October, During the process I change the original horizontal format, because I figured it was easier to read on digital media in general. 

About the idea, I think I usually find myself amazed by this "Noisy Silence" on social media. More frequently on twitter, where all the people appear to be there making comments, sharing st...

WIP#3 OCTOBER

Here you have one of the comics that I prepared using the simplistic style of Linker. I'm still debating whether the comics should have an all panels WIP, a partial panel screenshot or just be submitted after finished. If you can give your input about it, that would be wonderful.

This as well as WIP#2 are a part of a series of comic that try to focus on humor and witty dialog more than intricate drawings, as an omage to the newspaper comic gags that we used to see back in the day (when...

WIP#2 OCTOBER

This is one of the first comics I've prepared in which I pretend to use a different style to the one I usually do.

The humor is gonna be driven mostly by the dialog and the situation depicted, more than the details and the intricate drawing behind them.

Also There's some concepts in comics and character design that I've been willing to prove for a long time, and this might be a fun little experiment to see if they work.

 I don't want to spoil anything about the point of th...

WIP#1 OCTOBER

So we're getting to the final stages of the Iva artwork, and what you have here is the process of the pose I made for her final artwork.

Since the beginning of the process I had this picture in my head. I was planning on drawing her on a desert surrounded by ancient ruins. But since the character was re-designed entirely, some things had to come first before making it. And that's one of the main reasons of why I decided to keep the previous process on a sketchy level, so I could focus ...

WIP#4 SEPTEMBER (Color test Iva)

A new update of the artwork of Iva, Terrel's character. This time I'm trying out different color schemes that might suit her better, and since we're talking about one of his most beloved characters, I want him to be completely satisfied with her final design.  This pieces It's still worked on a rough sketchy way, because if we need to change something at this stage It's be less complicated.

I also wanted to show it to you,...

Mr. Raddish

So here's the finished version of the little radish that I presented on WIP#5 SEPTEMBER, made as a personal reward for Terrel.

The history behind it is this: Terrel as Coleslayer on deviantart has an icon that has always dragged my attention, it consist on a...

WIP#4 SEPTEMBER (New Update)

Just to give you a new update on the progress of this. We're still working on the details of the re-design of Terrell's character Iva. 

I'm working on her outfit and props as you can see here in the picture and It's getting more tangible as we work on it.

Next I'm probably gonna be defining a color palette for her, her skin tones and other details.

Feel free to give your impression about her design so far, and also, you can comment in whether  you like the way this WI...

B/W Linker Character Sheet

Open the Attachment in a new Tab to get a full view.

After working on the comic strip “Thanks for the watch” I grew fond over the minimalistic chibi style in which I drew the main character, and I wanted to try again somehow.

Because of that, I decided to create an alternate design of my avatar Linker. 

I wanted to push his design and reduce it to the most basic of his elements, as long as he could still be recognizable. And I ...

WIP#5 SEPTEMBER

Some days ago I was thinking about adding a special personal reward for you guys, for being so awesome and becoming my patrons. A reward that could have a direct input in your social circle, a reward that could be related to you, maybe have a deep meaning, or a thing that you would like to show to everybody.

I think I made the first step designing a new icon for Hotaru in her DA account, a cute black kitty on pixel-art Based on the new cat in the Family called Sunshine, an...

WIP#4 SEPTEMBER

Something that Terrel asked, after he became my top Patron was that if we could make an updated version his character Iva, and of course I gladly agreed :D

We’re going to be working the details of her design. Like her hair, her face, accessories, outfit, her overall color scheme and such.

What you see here is just the beginning of the process, feel free to give your opinion about it to know the version you like best. I’ll catch up later with the progress of this, be...

WIP#3 SEPTEMBER

Recently I was playing with the idea of giving a re-design to the appearance of my avatar Linker. Kinda like an alternate version to use in some short comics that I had in mind.

I’m going to give further details when I submit the entire picture, because it’s more comprehensible that way. One thing for sure though, He’s looking PRETTY adorable in this style, At least in my opinion XD

I’m also going to submit other WIPs later, so be sure to check them out :)

Half-Genie Hero of time

Here you have the promised Shantae artwork I was working on. I decided to take a bit more time to fix any issue that I could notice in the drawing. Details like the accessories and such. 

Last time Soran made a valid point about the jewels in the crown looking kinda odd, and the lights that it should had. I went and added extra reflections and lights in the areas that I thought should have them, like the sword, gold accessories and navi of course.

WIP#2 SEPTEMBER

Right now I'm working on my new Shantae fan artwork, and by request of CJ, I went and merged it with the Zelda universe.

This time I just wanted to see how Shantae would look wearing link's tunic, and it's turning out looking pretty well.

I'm moving to the inking phase, and if you're familiar with my drawing process you probably know that this is when the artwork starts looking more polished and cool than ever :D

I have a couple of ideas to add to this artwork...

Changes to the WIPs and Drawing Process

A couple of changes to the process and WIPs format guys. First of all, the WIPs are the ones that are going to be numbered according to the month. Depending on the time it takes me to finish the piece, you might get the digital sketch, the coloring, or maybe more. Their function is to keep you informed on the progress of the actual project I’m working on.

Taking for example the Nadya artwork. I really felt the need to update constantly so you can be sure I’m not slaking off XD

By Soran’s suggestion, I decided to work an artwork involving Nadya. As usual, I went overboard, and did more than originally expected XD

But I think the more, the better. So, here you have the four kinds of outfits I designed for Nadya.

Of course, I’m aware that there’s hundreds of possible outfits that would look great on her, but I went with only four to use it as practice. It t...
