Hey!
Hope you've all been well! I wanted to post this up and start gathering some of your questions for the next Q&A, I'll post up the date of the livestream itself soon.
Things have been pretty intense for me this month, thanks to all of you for supporting me as I try to find a good balance! I've been getting a few suggestions f...

Hey!
(updated with painted version as well - wartorter.psd)
Here's something I did today for Pokemon day, taking advantage of those hashtags on twitter and all that. Always really loved this character and wanted to do a classic instruction booklet style illustration of em. I included two PSD's with all layers intact. Should give you ...

Hey!
Hope you're all doing well. Here's the breakdown of my latest cover for Spider-Man Noir #3, I attached the PSD of all these steps into a single file incase it's too hard to read this all on here. Below is a basic process gif of it all as well.

Hey!
So, for some reason, I hardly got any client feedback today so I spent most of the day getting this all pulled together with colors. It's not done yet, I still have to paint over pretty much everything, but it's definitely a lot closer. Feeling good about it so far, it's got a ways to go but I think it's not too far off now.
I'm...

Hey!
Hope you're all doin well! I'm back working on the MGS piece, got the tank added here, now all I gotta do is round out the bottom with soldiers and texture/color and paint the rest together. Can't wait to get this wrapped up. I'll have more process images up showing how I color it all soon.
I'm gonna go pass out, have a gr...

Hey!
Thanks to everyone who made the stream tonight, I appreciate it! If you missed it, here's the archived stream with all your questions answered. I had to get a little whispery at the end because everyone went to sleep, but it was great to address all of your questions, hope this helps!

Hey!
Hope you're all well! I've been pretty busy with family and finishing up my remaining client work, but every night after I've been working this up, meant to release it yesterday(unholy Monday) but I just didn't have time.
Anyway, obviously this is a Garfield comic which isn't very serious, but I approached this one with ho...

Hey!
As I mentioned in the previous post, here are the full PSD's for Glenn & Robo(attached) so you can get a better idea of the process I use. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments!

Hey!
So, as a thank you to everyone who is supporting I wanted to offer up all of my Chrono Trigger high res portraits for download, including two portraits with full layers( in another post! I exceeded Patreon's file size limits for a single post) for you to comb through(Glenn & Robo). Feel free to download the attachments for persona...

Hey!
So, today I thought I'd upload something akin to what I'd do on either my own project or as a preliminary step on a client project. For this piece here this is for a personal project that may or may not come to fruition, who knows! I often work in this style because it's quicker for me to draw and plan colors as well as define what th...

Hey!
I recorded this tonight as a test for how I'd go about recording my process in the future. There were some small color errors caused by OBS(the screen recording program) so I'll have to adjust for that in future videos that are a bit longer. This is the same process I detailed in my post about the brush uses. But here's a repost of th...

Hey!
Well, some progress comin along! I worked up the Mil Mi-24 helicopter into the composition. These kinds of things are always my least favorite to draw and work up. I've never been super comfortable drawing vehicles and all that, especially ones that are based in reality. Thankfully all that's left is the tank and then some environment...
2020-02-04 06:17:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
So, I'm attaching here the only 2 brushes I use in Clip Studio. I'm going to give you all a quick walkthrough in video form soon as I can, but here's the basics of it -
Dopest Pencil - This brush I use to ink pretty much all my comic work, I find that it makes a really nice pencil texture but also a nice ink texture. It definite...

Hey!
Hope you've all been good! I worked up Rex today, I had done all the lines last night but my Clip Studio froze haha, so I had to redo the whole thing this morning. Also, I spent some time rendering out the genome soldiers. Now all thats left is the helicopter on the right, tank on the left and more genome soldiers on the right to bala...

Hey!
Here's where I'm at as of this morning on the MGS piece. I'm pretty excited to finally add in Liquid and start rounding out the bottom with the extra genome soldiers. Baby steps, but it's comin along!
I'll work things in grayscale at this point forward having had some success with the look of it on Otacon from the previous post....

Hey!
Took a little time tonight to start working in another character, this time I added Otacon. I'm gonna sit with the approach for a minute and see if it all still makes sense and then continue on from here. I plan on doing a slight rendering pass(some of it I already added to Gray Fox's helmet/arm) on the rest to unify the whole thing. ...

I wanted to drop this here so we can get some questions together for a future Youtube live type thing, I'll go through and address everything as I draw(or something along those lines). Eventually I'll get a camera setup with one of those porn ring lights so you can see it reflected in my eyes for ultimate effect. No, but really, I do ...

Hey, what's up, it's me, Dave. First of all, thank you so much for supporting me in this new venture, I'm super pumped about it and can't wait to see where this all takes me. With your support I'll finally get the opportunity to just invest in myself and in turn be able to give back to you. I wanted to start today by sharing a bit of my process,...
