Inks are coming along nicely! I'm going to see if I can't do something with this in Spine Esoteric too but will set it up so that I don't need to break it down quite so much. Which should save me a lot more time.
Hair will be an issue tho, will probably have to break that down deeper, and probably that back arm and hand. Which is why I saved the hair for last :p Wont be able to post anything new for some days as I'll be kidnapped. Make sure you all stay safe over the holidays and especially stay informed! \ ^_ ^

Now that the inks are in a good place the coloring is on! Working in the initial shadow layer for Historia.
Shading the grass will be an interesting challenge what with the angle I set the lighting for it. I'm digging where its going so far tho just a lot of stuff to plug away at still. Main body has been adjusted, gettin the grass to feel more unified with the winds direction.
Hows it feel to you??? Just got to where the inks were completed yesterday, but comparing it to the original pencils it just feels so stiff by comparison.
I am making the hard decision to redo the arms and the grass, as I don't like how that feels very much either. Here are the major changes I'll be making. Once I finish this pic I'll be getting back to the sketch requests so be sure that you got urs filled in. :p Decided to change things up by making a fully colored illustration for patrons and non patrons alike. :p
I penciled this one up some months back, and thought it was about time I get it completed. ^ o^ Need to think of some minor elements I could add to help provide her sense of scale a bit better. Finally got the pencils for this one finished!
I'm tempted to do a set of these for each of the 4 Crimson Dames. Each with their own version of their Big Bad Wolf. Thinking about it now, might be fun to do a stained glass take on this. The piece is continuing to evolve as I work on it.
Got the idea to add some of the ghost bunnies. A motif I've grown to like with orphan. Their not something she can see, nor any others in the story, their only there for us to see. In a sense I see them reflecting her innocence, where as her Mother's specter is its inevitable loss. Debating with myself if the wolf up top really works tho. Contemplating that It might be better making the tree element larger, and just putting more bunnies about it. Maybe instead could preserve the element of the eyes staring out from the murk of the forest. Trying to zero in on an interesting abstraction of Orphan's mother for the background element. Am starting to think that this might make for an interesting shirt design. Not sure if the idea of a cemetery quite works directly behind her, will have to play around with it more to see what comes about.
This is part of an exchange that me and Were-World are experimenting with.
To see if we can't combine our efforts in the future to speed up our progress on our projects. I figure he inking my work and my coloring his would help to speed up our works immensely. I tend to be much faster at coloring my own works, were Were-World is much faster at inking, and also my pencil work tends to not be quite as complex as his. This should allow us to also ensure that our styles remain front and center. I'm excited to see how it all turns out. ^ o^ While making this one I had the idea pop into my head, of Standard curtly asking why Prisoner gave Orphan the rabbit to hold? "How are we supposed to cook it now???" Vampire strolls up to Orphan and looks down at her menacingly. Will this be the night that Vampire Traumatizes Orphan? Or will it be the night that everyone had to make due with stone soup? |
