Update - 19.7.22

Hey lovelies, I hope you're all keeping cool and safe, doing my best but progress has been slow for the last few days thanks to the heat (record-breaking today in my little rainy country πŸ˜“)

So far really happy with how it all looks, AND the faces didn't make me break down and cry which i...

Enjoy my scribbles while I try to figure out this one. A bit different from my usual, kind of going fore more of a scene rather than an act, though don't worry there will be a spicy alt with Yor being a little bit more handsy 😏

In other news, I'm thinking of opening up my comms ...

Cloud/Sephiroth - Closeups + Process

Cloud/Sephiroth - Closeups + Process

As you might notice in the timelapse, I STRUGGLED with Cloud's face, I think it took like 15% of the total time for the whole piece to get right, but I think it was worth it!

This was one of those pieces though that I somehow managed to nail from the sketch phase a...

I'm still silly proud of how good I made Sephiroth's cake look, but boy, was Cloud's face a real pain. I think I might try to give this face angle a rest for a bit just to give m...

Finally, after much trial and tribulation, I'm happy with Cloud's face... I swear, once I'm comfortable drawing faces in this angle, it'll be over for you all!

Also... I'm stupid attracted to the way I've drawn Sephiroth's back 😳 well done me.

Btw, thanks so far for all of your gre...

Meg/Zag/Than - Process + Closeups

This one felt like a bit of a marathon tbh and I'm glad it's over but at the same time I'm super happy with how it came out. Ngl I'm stupid proud of how I rendered Meg's abs and Than's right hand 😊

I think 80% of my time spent on this was spent on drawing, thanks to a whole week where I ...

Just another little update for you lovelies on this piece, hoping to have it done soon though it has proven to be a way more technically challenging piece than I anticipated, and I want to try a few new things with my lighting process that will hopefully add further depth to my pieces!

After a lot of frustration, I've finally made a breakthrough with this piece... it's take some time but I'm finally happy with the direction I'm taking with this.

Bit of a small update this week, sorry lovelies. Been a really low week for me in terms of focus and feeling good about my art, and so I haven't been able to get anywhere close to where I wanna be with these drawings. Though I'm happy with the mood and dynamics of these pieces so far, I hope that...

Ann/Ryuji - Sloppy + Closeups + Process

Ryuji's face made me cry a little but otherwise, I had a ton of fun with this one. The main difficulty was retaining focus and cohesion throughout all of the angles. Will definitely be doing more of these in the future!

All caught up on my comms, so now I have some time to concentrate on art for you lovelies and my personal project!

I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew with this Ryuji/Ann piece but oh boy had so many ideas and couldn't pick one angle to go with! But so far I think it's gonna be so fun! And of course I'm going with the post-college concepts I came up with in the last P5 piece... Ryuji in a vest and ...

Gotta give credit where credit's due and thank my fiancΓ© for helping me out with Links face (the red drawing during the timelapse), she really helped me realise where I was going wrong and how I'd lost the original intent.

Not gonna lie, I only feel a little sorry for Link, this has been a really fun drawing so far, but by the triforce, Link's face was an absolute nightmare to get right and I think I had at least 3 breakdowns. Otherwise, I'm really happy that I manage...

Really need to work on streamlining my drawing process, it takes well over 60% of my time but I think that's down to mostly how long it takes for me to be happy with the faces.  Been experimenting with different grades of rendering, trying to find the happy place between airbrushing and cell...
