Hey everyone hope you're all doing well and enjoying your weekend. Got to say it's been one hell of month for me emotionally regarding art. I know I do tend to mention that sort of thing a lot but I think it's important for artists to speak on their struggles in the hopes of others relating and learning from them. The last few months have had me being quite introspective on how and why I work amongst many other things. It's caused a ton stress primarily in my personal art work, not paid work. Luck you guys eeeeehhhh? It's caused so much stress that I've literally sent myself into a panic attack twice just trying to draw stuff for myself.
Despite that I've been doing my best to identify my negative moments and try to correct my thinking by changing my perspective on it. It's quite hard when it comes from a lifetime of set personal goals and habits but I'm doing my best.
I started this piece earlier in the week and worked on it pretty slowly. I don't mean at a slow pace mind. More that I gave myself more time to figure things out instead of cutting anything short. Really think on the piece and what I'm trying to do with it. I adjusted the pose and re-drew her face quite a few times. Originally I intended not to draw her helmet but the further along I got the more I felt like it was necessary to the character. It's just a distinct part of her character that she almost completely doesn't feel like Fran without it. The ornate details took me some time to figure out but learning the rhyme and reasons behind the design while I drew was really nice. I feel like it really tied things together. I love high contrast photos and I guess I try doing that in my work a lot. It just feels...alive to me? In any case I wanted there to be a touch of mystery to her desire which is why I covered her face in shadow while highlighting her most erotic areas in the bright light in the hopes to create a greater sense of arousal. I'd like to get better at capturing that in my work. Even if it's R-18 (Fuck you Patreon) I put a lot of thought into my shots aside from the obvious dirty thoughts-Err but don't worry I'm definitely more perv than art snob. I'm jerking off right now!
WHY AREN'T YOU?! GO ON! GETOUTOFHERE! YOUPAIDFOR THIS! SEEYOU NEXTMONTH FREAKS!
