another one that is amongst some of the first exploratory explicit sketches i drew of the guy- dating back late 2023 lmao
We got some cursed ocean stuff in this campaign, so I still got plenty of potential ideas to explore further-
Couple of progress shots and a layer breakdown of a recent commission!
I know with these high detail headshots I usually just go through the slow process of doing thin linework and carefully coloring in the flats, then rendering ontop - and more often than not, softening the linework, or replacing it fully with shading. But with the recent more illustrative works I've been doing, I felt it apt to just adopt the methods from there since they feel quite a bit more fluid; just focusing on col...
Upon request here's a follow-up detailing the separate sources I drew from for the different components! I'll say, big credits to the DM, Awkwardos, who was supplying me with prompts and various ideas for the direction of this design, and giving me feedback on what to add, etc - so one big word of advice for designing of any nature is; get a second pair of eyes! Even just someone to bounce ideas back and forth with can go a long way to help in the designing process.

Been getting into the sequencing of things- but they do take longer to make, mygod

Little reroute for variety- furry spice was inevitable with the amount of options dnd provides, specially if you're delving into fey-vibes- Tho not too much art for these characters exist beyond these sketches since that particular campaing didn't fully take off---

Gonna be uploading to youtube later today with the next commission piece, here's an early sketch preview!

A couple progress shots of the sketching process! With dynamic poses and scenes, I always allow myself to be a bit extra picky about the face details- A pose can portray as much energy and force as you can muster, but if the face doesn't sell a similar intensity then that effect kinda just fizzles out a bit-
Usually is worth paying a bit of extra attention to the heads of characters
Figured I could attatch the photoshop file with the layers here to show the effects applied to make the fire!
I'll say when it comes to lightsources such as fire, I've learned you gotta both be bold, and restrained at the same time- lmao - I'll explain my thinking:
Bold: Make use of /Big/ gradient shapes; large soft radial gradients, that can cover a large area - go with deep reds, maybe some hues of orange, and don't overcomplicate the shape.
Restrained: 1. Ke...

One of my dnd characters got brought back and got a species change into kobold- they still keep a braid from their old body

after all this time i still don't have that many pieces of these two that are in color, and it's really funny to include this amongst the pieces I can look back on for color ref-
But what can i say, rendering clothes still just isn't as fun as rendering skin
A commission that is in progress rn - will ofc have the full video timelapse on youtube once it's finished, but I figured I could make some extra content by turning the sketching phase into a separate video so that people could see it at a slower pace!
The original recording is 23 minutes, so it's sped up at a rate just below 4x

Another player has entered the fray! handling 3 pairs of legs for spice posings is a goddamn headache, and on the other hand Niente not having any arms other than disconnected mage-hands did take some thinking to figure out which poses are even viable - we joke that her core-strength has to be through the roof-

there at some point was some talk about a lil bug themed dnd game, though it did not gain much traction - still tho, trying to balance out the spider-to-anthromorph - ratio, while keeping the creepy-crawly vibe but also have it feel somewhat expressive was an interesting challenge!

Figured a shitpost would nicely elaborate on the dynamic between these two a bit more
Always thankful for opportunities to draw dragons, goddamn- get to explore such fun shapes. One thing I've definitely come to realize is how important it is to have a good grasp on perspective when it comes to posing, really, any character in a dynamic composition, and I know for certain there's much for me to still learn

Figured I can circle back to one of the earlier comissions and show some of the progression through the background. I know time wise I had to let it sit for a while after I had finished shading the main characters, like, I just didn't touch it for 6 days, simply because I was unsure if I could execute the vibe I wanted to explore, for the environment - just didn't know where to start.
But eventually you just gotta sit down and start somewhere, and I figured I'm not gonna worry ab...
One of the first drabbles i did of this idiot, dating back 01.08.23 - was originally just meant to depict general debauchery. Would absolutely do a touch-up on these if thats all that they were, but now the sketch on the left has basically historical importance; After this, another member of our group suggested mr tall-guy should be made an NPC and things spiralled very quickly from there.
So, here marks the beginning of the 'drunk fuckbuddies' -> 'basically married' pipeline betwee...
