'Sad.' So, right, today. First the boy falls asleep taking up the entire drat sofa like a cat, and then he goes and moves just as I get into drawing him. Rude!  Also, I can't stop playing with the blender sketch thingy, it's like minecraft with infinitely more options. You think you're done, then 'just a quick tweak here', 'wait, kill this half-done render, I want to tweak that bit'... This was meant to be just a five-minute thing.

That Zbrush? I've tried it a couple of times, but my (lack of) gfx card shits the bed massively. Looking real good there! Love the sharp knife of the horns esp.

sigma 6 posted:Zbrush doesn't depend on the graphics card. Only the CPU AFAIK. It's one of the selling points. Now that's weird, the cpu is fairly decent on this box. On the other hand, this is the computer so badly made that it interferes with phone reception and it's own wifi dongle has to be on an extension cord, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

 First page of this weird project I've kinda stumbled into without intending - each month I'm making a new comic-poem-hybrid-abomination, designed for A7 booklet. One sheet of A4 each, folded into a booklet, and they're apparently adorable:  I've actually sold them just from people seeing how tiny they are. Which I wasn't sure how to react to, really, but  Gonna detail the colour on this one a bit more if I find time.

Thanks, that's what I like to hear!  I'm gonna explore it for a month or two, make sure the idea has legs (and have some lead, I hear that's important), then I'll be whoring a patreon all over the place.

Aside from it's general  I love how well you make characters 3D, there's a real sense of volume to them.

Sharpest Crayon posted:The masking fluid is like magic, but it is difficult to work with. I bought some brushes meant for the fluid, but it gunks them up so fast. Wondering it a fountain pen would work better... or if it would just get gummed up just as fast. I gotta experiment with this. Bring in some toothpicks or something. Oooh! I got this! I bought a silicone clay-working tool that works really well for this:  Seconding the masking fluid love. e: toothpicks work ok. I've never tried a fountain pen because wtf you sadist!

 Well pleased with how this is coming along. A7 is the best comic format.  e: I'm gonna enlarge the text in the first page, I think. Still getting to grips with having to make the words happen myself with my hands.

Thanks! Pen settings were "lamy fountain pen" and "watercolour"  The trick is finding a good waterproof ink - I use platinum carbon black.

Argue posted:1. What's a good palette material for mixing watercolor (mine are pan) on? The plastic and metallic surfaces I have don't seem to be ideal since there's so much water diluting it, so the water just clumps together. Is mixing colors on a palette even a thing, or do you just let that poo poo blend on the paper? Not figured out this one myself - mixing large amounts of colour in particular is a bitch. What I'm gonna try (when I remember) is just asking in the local art shop. Are you using half pans or full? I think brush size might be relevant, and small pans generally lead to small brushes. quote:Style E: also, making a mess is ok, think of it as an experiment. Take what works, ditch what doesn't. lofi fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Jun 18, 2018 |

I love the ambiance on sunless sea - that music when you pull into home port on your last dregs of fuel, and it's warm and safe and light and now the crew can but won't stop eating each other. I didn't have the patience to explore a lot of the game, but yeah, it's really good. Rats or hamsters? Today's effort - a really cool street-drummer using the pavement, gates, old tubs. He had a fun thing of following people walking out the station, drumming behind them. It's not great by itself, but I'm kinda pleased with it because he was moving so much, to get anything down was a fun challenge. Think I'm gonna make a habit of drawing buskers (and make sure I've got some cash on me to pay them for it.) Also drawing in fountain pen is the best for forcing you to think about every mark you make.

ThePlague-Daemon posted:I wanna get more involved in an art community, but I never know where to start. Amen to that. DA seems like a pretty flooded market, a hell of a lot of very skilled artists there.  Today's effort, playing with gouache, going really oldschool colouring. It's like painting with thin mud (probably not helped by having to reconstitute old dried out tubs). Mixing colours is a bitch. I'm working on trying to pull my comic-drawing and life-drawing styles a bit closer together, at the moment they're not really helping each other that much. lofi fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jun 23, 2018 |

Propitious Jerk posted:^Excellent! Reminds me of Jene Giraud. Not at all an accident, and a big compliment, thanks! Moebius and Herge are seriously floating my boat at the moment, ligne claire makes me happy. That skull looks sweet, I totally agree on keeping the linework - I wasn't sure if you were finished (I look at pretty pictures first, natch) and was actually going to suggest leaving it as-is if you were intending to polish it more. It's very 2000AD! e: ThePlague-Daemon posted:Yeah, what I've found is people generally don't stick around past one piece. I'm getting a lot more views than normal on this one, but just a couple new followers and a little better than average user page views (this is all on deviantart). I got a Daily Deviation awhile back but even that wasn't a huge gain. Going back to this - I think what DA suffers from is having no real focus, or purpose. It feels like a giant gallery with everyone's stuff just shoved together, where the best you're likely to acheive is a circle-jerk with other artists. I've started being quite strict with posting art on social media and looking at it in terms of 'what do I want this to achieve?' and it's been an eye-opener as to how much social media is just making content and hoping for likes. I'm still working on an actual solution. lofi fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jun 24, 2018 |

 More work based on avant-garde fashion. One day I'll finish this tarot deck, honest. Of course, by the time I get to the end, the beginning will look poo poo in comparison, so I'll just go in circles forever.
