a new commission for simmone. he wanted his robot shark girl to do a kitty stretch and i wanted more excuses to ink and paint things. i still need to adjust her head a bit as it is too short and round but i will keep going with the ink. i can probably fix the face with acryla gouache but if not i will just fix the digital and re ink it and this first step can be a study

i have been enjoying the inks and acryla G a lot and i wanted more to print out and paint on so i quickly cleaned up the lines of these 4 just enough so i can finalize them with my favorite inks and pencils

using the daz base model i imported it to blender WITH the rig and attached the bunny feet ears and tail now i will need to fix the rig so the new appendages have bones and add better controls. once that is done i will fix the UV maps so they are all on one island and she will be ready for further morphing
it was a stressful day so i vented by going crazy with freeform sketching

did i mention how much i liked acryla gouache? it goes down the way i WANT it to and it dries nice and matt so i can scan it easier. once im done with all the "form rendering" i will punch up the shadows

a few nights ago i was walking around not able to sleep wondering why im having such a hard time getting stuck into my comics. specifically things like bald space monkey.
a little voice im my head said "because you have lost sight to why you started something like 'the daily doe'"
i created the daily doe to make content i would want to buy and so i got excited about that. i need to let myself get excited about the stories i would like to buy if i saw them on the shelf

i was worried that the acryla gouache would not work over the acrylics but turns out it does just fine

more acryla gouache. went with a thinner coat starting out with this one

i tried using the acryla gouache on the canvas board and found it goes down better then acrylic. so i will try it for my Mar grey underpainting too

started painting. using acryla gouache. and im finding its becoming my favorite traditional medium
2022-07-27 00:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post
printed out the sketch on 11" by 17" smooth bristol board and went over everything in pencil. there is something about traditional medium that still seems to have the edge over digital. so i will pencil out the rest of the book. i just wonder if i want to use my acryla gouache or digital coloring
