Muscle Car

BG Tech 4(?): 3D Model Tracing

+ 3d models make perspective easier

+ Models potentially have lots of detail

+ Tracing ensures better style merging

+ Controllable light sources makes shading easier

- Tracing them is time consuming.

- Detail is a double edged sword when it comes to line work phase. Might lead to uncanny valley effect.

- Models have to exist and be obtainable.

- Models can be expensive to the point of doing pictures at a signifca...

Links and Curves

Probably need to find better a better method for tree trunks

Yukata Lami

Zagine's OC

BG Tech 3 + Some airbrushing for the lamp post.

Starletta Island

Carlosgizza's ojousama.

BG Tech 3: Hand Painted
+ Slightly better than average speed depending on complexity

+ Finally figure out how to use all those nature and plant brushes

- Really only good for nature stuff at the moment

- Need to get better at color theory and picking.

The Children Yearn for the Mines

...The Mother Yearns for Cooked Porkchop.

Background Technique 2: Simple Blocking Flat Colors

+ Seems to mix well with more 2d/flat shading

+ Hella Fast

- Not good for anything that requires a lot of background detail; too much is potentially distracting

Not So Little Black Dress

"Date night is great and all but can we please go home before I explode out of this thing?"

Background Technique: "Speed" Painting from Monochrome

+ Theoretically good for detail work
+ Works best with more complex shading
+ Good for stuff that requires bokeh/background blur

- Very time consuming. Name is currently a misnomer.
- Kinda sloppy looking.
- Requires better perspective
- How tf do people pick colors?

On the Matter of Backgrounds, part 2

Okay so I have had stress insomnia for the past 48 so I'm going to keep this brief:

Your voices have been heard. I'm stopping all use of AI generative content from this point on. The increase in productivity isn't worth worth the hit to subscribers, and 'm not any less burnt out or anxious now worrying about the damage it's doing to my audience base, and enough people just flat out think it looks bad that it's an overall failed experiment.

I really hope thos...

On the matter of backgrounds

I realize this was going to be an incredibly divisive subject and it's especially long overdue on this side of things, but I figure I might as well address the elephant in the room. I ask that you at least read to the end.

Yes, my pictures have started incorporating some generative AI elements. This has been going on for about a year now. Not as many as some of you might think just from reading that, and not in the ways some of you might think.

I realize I should've writt...

Trinity Field

Late because I couldn't get the dress working for days.

Edit: As soon as I hit submit and didn't feel rushed anymore I realized I could use the smear tool to fix the folds that were bugging me so now the first version is renamed "beta".

Full Housemaid

Smashing Punkins

Periscopic Proportions

Off to the Races

Finish it on time? I say neigh!

Delayed Arrival

GPU is BSODing

It's started to happen even though I stopped doing intensive stuff and I had a repair shop do a stress test and they're saying it's on its last legs.

So, I've ordered replacement parts since it was getting close to upgrade time anyway but they won't arrive until the 16th. As you might imagine I need to be able to see stuff to draw, so please wait a bit for future updates.

Sunny Side In

Um Actually

More Chounerd

Dragon Fang

How to fail at your new years resolution to be more productive:

1. Get covid on the 31st

2. Throw your back out shoveling snow as soon as you start to get better.

Gonna try and play catch up though.

Fails of 23

Some doodles and things that just didn't make the cut for various reasons.

Season's Eatings

Milk and Cookies and Milk

Whatever you celebrate, I hope you had a good one.

Eris - Yuletide Avalanche

I'm not dead. Just had some hardware trouble and then IRL obligations that are keeping me from my tablet. (For some reason by GPU just decided to stop working when under stress. Not sure if it's fixed so I'm just not going to stress it.)

Anyway, middle of last month I got approached to do a collaboration featuring Eris and this is the result of that. Once the collaboration goes live I'll link it from this post.

Edit: You can see the finished collab 2023-12-19 02:53:25 +0000 UTC View Post
