 Inks and Flats are complete and now beginning work on the shadow layer! I really love this phase as its when the concept really starts to come to life. I went with more of a raven/crow color scheme to give it a more gothic feel. tho they surprisingly feel very vampire like now. ;D Yell me what you think so far or if there are any details you think are missing that would make it even better. Rilly excited to finish this one.

 Rilly starting to come together now!
Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Still trying to decide how I want their colors to be. Something like pale white skin with blood red feathers? Or maybe black like a ravens? What do you think?  Started putting some work into the inks for this pic since it had been so long since penciling it.
I'm digging how its coming out so far. Will likely work on other stuff too while working on it. :p I got so much catching up to do tho. And so much to research concerning investment opportunities.  More progress with the inks!
The main two figure's inks are just about done. still a ways to go tho. Always aggravating how slow the inking process is for me. .o ,
It's really starting to come to life now!!!
from right to left we got the base inks, the flat colors, and with the base shadow layers. Still lots of work to go but already am starting to get a good sense of how it will all come together. Colors will likely radically change along the way still as I balance things out. Wont be streaming till likely Monday night due to getting kidnapped for my 40th birthday! which is... TODAY! October 15th 1981! The same year that The Howling and American Werewolf were released! Coincidence??? So much work to do still that I worry if I can get this knocked out before Halloween, though none of my previous attempts at a major Halloween project were on time so why not this one too? XD I still need to do a more clothed variant for a general release and maybe to get some merch made too but will have to see how the time frame plays out and if it will damage the look of things to much. Would love to get your feed back on them all though. Which one is your favorite of the ladies featured? do they feel distinct enough from one another? Which of them might you want to see expanded upon as deeper characters for Crimson Dames? Gotta run for now, thanks so much for your continued support especially in these uncertain times, I can't even begin to show my appreciation to you all deeply enough as you deserve. ;D Man this ones been taking up so much time and I really have no idea why. Am I letting too many things distract me on a daily basis?? Whatever the cause I really love how its coming out. I deeply apologize for the lack of new posts, but I have been plugging away at these projects diligently. I just feel that it wastes too much time posting each nights progress every night, especially if the average viewer can't really see the difference. So I had been waiting for better milestones to show off. :p Tell me though if you prefer seeing those progress reports. With September around the corner I really need to start thinking up what this years Halloween project will be. Should I add a couple spooky ladies to the Ladies of Halloween project? Or would peeps prefer more progress on The Shewolf Bride comic? (Now housed under "Projects". I really need to get back to the writing of the novella too.   Man these swords took a lot longer to draw out than I had hoped.
Been fighting with sleep issues and being super lethargic, but it feels like I'm finally starting to break free of that hellish cycle. I'm starting to debate if I shouldn't change the banner so that it passes behind her rather than the front. Hrmm actually I think one of the swords needs to be moved down some too, doesn't feel quite right to me at the moment. I'm already getting the flat colors worked out and will be able to start figuring out the shadow layers very soon! Tell me what you think so far! Will be starting my daily stream soon, hope to see you there! https://picarto.tv/StudioAegis  Sorry that the updates slowed down a bit, the inking stage always becomes a slow crawl. That and I worry peeps will loose interest seeing too much of the in between stages as I get it up to speed. XD
Don't forget those of you not active on the Crimson Dames Discord that I'm hosting another roll for loot which ends on the first. Just a small one, not nearly as many sketches as last time but boosting rules are still in effect so if your close you could try and get a friend to sign on as a patron and get that prize pot just a wee bit bigger. ^_ ^ Am really enjoying how this coming out so far. There's lots of little adjustments and details to add in still but its coming along nicely. Gotta decide for Prisoner's project if her villain should be Granny, one of the lead jailers, or perhaps granny flanked by 2 jailers. Which would you like to see? Don't forget still got an open offer where if peeps sign onto Minds and drop me a follow that they can earn a sketch reward. Site can be a tad off putting initially, but get u a good feed of artists going there and eventually get the Plus mode to drop the adds and u'll find it has a very wholesome community with really engaged peeps. Your voice can stand taller without so much other nonsense drowning you out. It is still undergoing growing pains, but I foresee it turning into a great place for creators to flourish.  Been working on this one off and on since I started my last major sketch reward push.
Those are nearing completion or should be by the end of the next week I suspect. Am really digging how this ones coming along tho. I had essentially already flatted the piece which will make getting around to the colors easier as well. Still not entirely sure how I want to approach the colors for this one, since I could go with a more traditional pallet, or something that evokes more of a mood. I tend to use the same handful of color schemes a bit too often with my completed works as well so would be fun if I could find a pallet outside of my comfort zone that I can get to work. :p Don't forget peeps can earn a sketch reward from me if they opt to register and follow me on Minds.com. Lotta rising artists there worth following, and soon enough I'll start accepting minds tokens for sketch rewards. I'm wanting to look into re host my website to minds.com at some point as it would allow my website to earn tokens at that point from visitors. But there's a lot of technology I need to come to grips with, and it will be a slow grind, that and still need to earn enough tokens to unlock pro mode. Tho I hear their looking to adjust how that mode works so things are still a bit in the air. I did see tho that Webflow has a website building app thats much more diverse with the number of unique processes it can handle. It would be much more capable of performing the tasks I was looking to accomplish before. Where if you log in that the sites common art assets would adapt to reflect the your patronage rank. Lotta research to do tho but something to look forward to. ^o ^ |
