Sneak Preview Halloween

Well, looks like I can paint faster than ever. With only 3 days under the belt this painting is the fastest one yet. There are still some improvements that need to be done, an example of which is the robes. 

Transitioning from black and white to color leaves it discolored and I've begun fixing it on the her right shoulder. The patch of light red on her right shoulder is the corrected version, the red sudden transition to white on the elbows is what happens when you splash red overlays on ...

Starting without lineart

A practice I've been doing during the week of drawing portfolio pieces, I decided to test new techniques with simple stuff like this. :D

View Post

Portfolio work

So here's the stuff I do in order to get work. These pieces will be part of a 20-30 piece portfolio I'll be assembling. Thankfully only a few pieces need to be full renders but I do plan to do at least 10-14. 

Luckily I am getting significantly faster everytime I paint. First one took 2 weeks while the second one took 5 days. I plan to continue shortening the time it takes for rendering.

Halloween

I never got the celebrate halloween last time around due to schoolwork, this time I want to honor the holiday as best I can. With naughty illustrations of course. I plan to make 2 versions a "SFW" for my deviantart and a NSFW for the foundry. Enjoy the sketch. 

This sketch already locks me into a method I've been approaching painting for my entire career, it's long and arduous. I plan to learn to start without lineart, which will hopefully speed it up. this will take a lot of practicing s...

Today's Progress

With this piece I'm focusing on the black and white values and pushing my understanding of how pure light and shadow works before I put color in. Having proper value shifts will make the characters feel more realistic. It took all friggin day so learning is a really arduous endeavor. Hopefully tomorrow I can solidify my understanding some more. enjoy

Onto the next one.

Preliminary sketches are down. Let me know how I'm doing concerning commissions, are you guys chill with the rate stuff is being worked on? I really wish there was a faster way but right now all I got time for is working at this pace. 

Anyways more stuff soon, another art book came in using the funds provided by you guys :D. These things have helped improve my art immensely and I hope to show you something jaw dropping with this and the next few paintings.

Johnathan's commission

This has been quite the learning experience. I think it showcases a element of professionalism I have yet to exhibit, please enjoy. Next up I'll finish up Biffo's request, and move on to the rest.

Sorry for the wait, but there is more of it, sorry!

The problem right now is I leveled up, alot, using my learning resources I want to try a new way of doing things and well, alot has changed in these few days since the last post. See for yourself I promise you the wait will be worth it in the end. Added to it is my paint sketch I did last week.

John's Commission

Here be the sketch layer, I'm trying a new way of approaching line art, used to be I used them as shadows and that worked quite well for a beginner. But this time I'll just paint over them and see if I come up with something better, also brushing up on various fundamental painting lessons again. It's hasn't been that long but it seems like I forgot some of the basics.

TLDR: Here sketch, me paint with new learnings, enjoy

Alden's Commission

Christ anthros are tough to  paint. Enjoy, things would go faster if less curveballs were thrown :P, but it was quite fun.

Fixed it

Should be the right now, gonna need to research better fur painting for the future.

And The next ones....

Here are some roughs on the currently active commissions, Biffo wanted to see my character and here is her demon form for the next outing of AODL, which preproduction has begun on. Other things I'm trying out include 3D modeling and 2D animation, shit couldn't be too hard. The other rough is Alden's anthro commission, not sure about the hair yet, he'll have to get back to me on that one. Enjoy.

Evevos' Commission

Sorry it took so long, things I currently draw are used for research to improve my painting skills, that said I completely redid this piece. Going to push through, adding more and more adjustments with each successive piece.

View Post

Sorry but a slight delay.

The latest commission has been delayed a bit, my place had to switch internet services so for the majority of last I was offline and couldn't really post it. While that happened I digested a large amount of the video tutorials that I obtained in school and I'd like to think my skills improved by alot. Anyways I now need to redraw a majority of it to conform to the new standards. I will endeavor to draw it the fastest I can. But in the meantime here's today's sketch, using the new principles I fi...

I will try to work in chronological order and if there is anything you want to remind me of or add please don't hesitate to ask. If there is something you really want to see, don't hesitate to ask I shall make it work :D. This one should be done by t...

Update

Hey guys, it's been a week since I returned to the states and things have been quite busy.  For now I'm trying to consolidate my learning and basically upgrading my painting abilities. I'll send a screenshot of that with this post, expect the commissions to look similar in detail. 

Other than the practice there is a contest I will be entering and since that has a definitive deadline I need to prioritize that work over this week and maybe next week.


However I will be wor...

A commission from a long time ago

I think this has almost a year in the making. Hopefully I got everything down, gonna start painting it soon. The other commissions will be filled soon, just a week of school left and so much procrastinating to do.

A sketch for you!

Hey guys, I'm friggin sick, caught a nasty throat infection and couldn't do work for the entire weekend, so I said screw it I'm just gonna draw what I wanna draw, and voila. At 2 hours of work this turned out to be pretty sweet, so I am alot faster now and hopefully will get faster and more precise as the days go by. Like I said in a previous post to celebrate me coming back to creating content in June everyone gets a free commission! I also need to inform you that if the commission goes beyond ...

Graduating by June

Hey guys, some really good news. I am about to graduate from art school. This one year program was pretty close to a living hell but I am glad to say I succeeded and my art has improved by leaps and bounds. I really wish I had stuff to show how much I improved but sadly all my work is owned by the school since I sold my soul and rights to them when I started.

I am happy to say I will finally have time to work on commissions again at the start of june, and even more time when I return home ...

Mechanic Girl Pinup

So after mulling it over, the new guy's commission was the most interesting, since it aligns with the IP project I'm working on for school, so it gets painted first. It gave me good practice for the machinery of dieselpunk and a sexy girl is a bonus. Lemme know if you want anything changed and or appended.

Demon Lord concept

Some painting practice, as well as the redesign of the main character for

the next volume of the advent of a demon lord. Lot of prepwork is

needed, will be revealing bits and pieces of that soon as well as

some other drawings that I will be trying. Of course how much time I

can spend on this depends on how much time term break homework will

take, hopefully I can pump more content out soon :D. And please

consider supporting my work on patreon :D.

Leviathan, Deadly Sins Series

Whatsup guys, I only have a few hours of free time a weekend, enough to get a sketch of a figure I bought lol! Let me know what you think, when I have more time I will finish painting and rendering this and the other commissions.

Hi guys, the homework is way more than I expected. They really drill you hard here at art school for professional industrial design. I cannot maintain this account and might have to become inactive. There is also another option. I can still do sketches and some light work on the weekends but for renders that take a long time I can save them up until my term break in September. Then, I'll crank them out as fast as I can. Let me know which option you guys want to go with and thank you for your sup...
