Project Contribution - Ashe

Some friends and I put together a group render. Given a certain lack of dimensionality, I had to tryhard with Ashe's shading to mildly fit in.

I'm itching to start creating comics, but lately my attempts have ended in burnout and with drawings I'm unsatisfied with. So I'm moving a few squares back again to focus on lineart and mileage to work on my general skill, and the speed that comes with simply drawing more.

I've been working on a new lifeguard Mercy image, but I got a little frustrated with the perspective. So I cooled down with a nice, one-point perspective drawing.

Working on a project with some freinds, but I was locking up in drawing what I needed to do. So I put together this random drawing to study some atmospheric occlusion and ease some anxiety.

[Blog] Weaknesses in the battle plan

Mid-August week (Aug 14, 2023)

Eventually we'll figure out how often and on what day I should create these blog posts. For now I'll aim for weekly updates, and in the meantime I'll be practicing with daily sketches.

It is my dream to be able to create comics, games and visual novels of my chara...

What I've been doing. What I'm planning on doing.

[TL;DR] Been making video games. Shifting back into art. Realize I ought to update you on what I'm doing, so I'm starting a (likely weekly) blog. Also, I'm going to start daily rough sketches to build my speed and discipline skill.

Firstly, I'm not good (yet) with community updates. Being the s...

Symmetra is a sleeper S-tier waifu, she just doesn't get the attention she deserves. Granted, I think that way about all the Overwatch waifus who aren't Mercy.

I've love to do a scene that merges elements of her default OW1 and OW2 design, but for now I've eager to finish up some other projects in the queue.

Freedraw Session

Freedraw Session

23 / May / 2023

Like all artists, I started off both bad and unaware of how bad I was. When getting into the fundamentals I suddenly realized my lack of skill, which made me scared to draw as much as I used to.

Lately, I've only really been drawing when I have a specific idea in mind, but now that I'm more comfortable when my skill a...

(In progress) Kitsune Crush

I've been having an itch to draw more perspecctive. However, while in the middle of my work week, I don't have a lot of time to draw for long, dedicated draw sessions (one picture usually takes an entire day of non-stop drawing, sometimes an extra half day for polishing), and it's hard to start and stop in the middle of a more detailed piece. So...

I like to deconstruct other artists' styles, and I've been working my way up towards what I personally feel to be more advanced drawing techniques over the years. On a whim, I felt like doing Honey Pharah, a dormant idea I've had for a while, and decided to deconstruct the TF2 comic style for it.

TF2 comics have several artists, all of who...

Still a work in progress. I'm experimenting with new line art and coloring work, and I'll be revisiting this, as Brig's muscles give me good opportunity to practice anatomical shading.

Finally was able to finish this, though working during the American holiday weekend enhanced my burnout. I feel there is more I'd like to do with this, but it's taking too much time away from other projects. At least I did learn much in regards to line art style through this.

I've been experimenting more in how I approach scale. The last ...

Early Morning Speed-Draw

While I have a lot of pictures that I personally want to convey well, I worry I'm not getting the proper mileage I ought in the artist grind, especially if I want to make comics and videogames.

Update on the going on of things

March was a bit of a shaky month, shared between some rough family happenings, health, and my job being a bit more stressful than usual. When I'm low energy, it's easier for my to write and program, compared to something like drawing, and I've finalized the coding aspect of a game where you play as a tiny traversing the fatigued body of an achy ...
