Deus Ex - Icarus / Adam Jensen One of the byproducts of Inktober 2022. Been thinking I might post few of the later edits or alt. variants of some works. Since I've been deusexing around lately, here's an alt. version of https://www.tumblr.com/tenebrare/699022642835013632/inktober-2022-day-24-fair-deus-ex-adam

Deus Ex- Sarif's attack dog (revisited) + Post about how and why this revisit came to be aka some self-reflect (warning: long, ... OMG too long)

During Inktober2022, when I was forced to (as its part of the challenge) post daily, in some point I took a look of my 2022 postings in general. I found that I have taken my blogs title "Sketchbook and doodles" too literal. Almost all my works posted were... are... 1-2 day quick scribbles and clearly unfinished. Except 3. 2 of which were done in 2021 and still fit the 1-2 day filling and one work which I had done while recovering serious health related issue and was forced to focus only on recovery and I kept working on a singular piece the time without thinking about completing the piece itself (as my goal was just to fill the time I was awake and give my brain something else than health to think about) nor being stressed by war, bills, work. And out of those 3 remaining works that last is only one I wouldn’t know how to change, when I open its original file now. Also the other remotely almost passable as closer to complete works were done before war and illness. Why I have rushed like this – where was I hurrying to? Did I believe I improve better if I do more? Yet my best fan-work of 2022 is one I did, when I was physically so weak I was barely able to hold any objects like my pen (even eating and holding a spoon exhausted me to the point I slept hours afterwards), but just invested more time on doing something. Inktober was like a sum of the same – out of the 31 works I did, the best one in my opinion is the one I failed at original day and did bit by bit on other remaining days. Where am I running to? I should sit the f*** down. 2022 is trying to tell me something and I should listen. It 1st broke my graphics card few days in. Started a war close enough month after. Got me ill and almost killed me next month after that and then heatwaved me to heat-sickness soon as I started to do some recovery few months down. Canceled all my long planned events and activities for august and changed what-and-how in September. Only thing it did not cancel was me seeing my favorite band in July (in fact ‘universe’ in particular delayed the gig to be in 2022 from 2020). Maybe by November I should take the darn hint? … I finally sat down after Inktober. Meditated a few days, sitting back against almost ice cold-radiator in a 12C room (the machinery in basement shut itself off again and it was 12C outside as well). So I went back and took one the unfinished works and gave myself no time limits - „It is done, when it is done.” I told myself - “I am not running anywhere, no one gave me deadline. I do this because I love doing stuff like this. Do it like you just hired yourself and want your moneys worth. And above all – have fun. I must have fun again, like when I was 2 and scribbled believing I am greatest painter in the world and for my family I was.” Uh, and the widget in the basement started working after I had found calm in self as well worked on this piece a few days and is stable 21C now. If I’d believe in paranormal, I’d say this house is alive and is catching up my moods. But thanks, house, for the widget being back online. The gas company found no fault in the widget and its systems. Not in spring, when it stopped working 1st time after being just installed, nor this falls … Well… in this region we believe that old houses have their own spirits and personalities after all. Here’s “Sarif’s Attack Dog” as I wanted it to be 8 months ago. Just spent 5 times more time on it. Viewer, who wants, does find flaws in it and could argue about ‘its done, when its done’ part, but it is not about if someone else can do it better, likes it or does not like it or any other 100 problems, but its about how I wanted it to look-like in given moment and gave myself time to do it. Maybe it should be my 2023 years resolution? “Sit the f-down and take my sweet time on all things I do – including fan-art?” Provided 2023 doesn’t try to kill me again, like 2022 did… tehehe? PS! That lone fully completed 2022 fan-art of mine was Francis Pritchard hacking Adams computer in Prague

Deus Ex - Bob Page

One of many Bob sketches I had done past week. Middle of inktober I got this mental image of our Bobby here killing Adam Jensen. Notion I got due to achievement tracking being broken for the game (I normally do not have GOG galaxy turned on thus no achievement tracking for games) and that for some reason perma death mode is no longer enabled for my game. So I wanted Jensen dead. Then I go google that Bobby. So I found exactly 1 concept art image, and that he looks different in all 4 games. I get it - he gets fancy nano augmentations, but if they change mans hair colour between HR and MD, what am I supposed to make him? So 1st sketches he had wet blonde long hair like a rock-star, but probably not... . has any other Deus Ex character been redesigned as many times as he has ? So i took some liberties to mix all 4 into one. I kept his cool looking jacket from MD though. What am I talking about ... they managed to change him even between the HQ render (from load-screens) and in-game cut-scenes. If you have keen enough eye to spot that. Apparently his jacket has (at least) 5 zippers... Why, Bob? Why ? Are there any pockets in there as well ? Or is he keeping some Illuminati secrets in there ?

Deus Ex - Adam Jensen sketch. Ever since I did my 1st fan-art scribbles of him after HR, I rarely ever made him having his shades. I hate them. With passion. There might have been few scribbles with them, but generally no. His yellow eyes look just so much cooler.

Deus Ex - Adam Jensen And there he goes saving world ... time after time, time after time... wouldn't he get tired at end ?

Inktober 2021 / Day 13 - Roof I cheated with this one - I started it yesterday. Here's a naked Adam with a fruit bowl on a roof front of his flat. Did you think I'd skip Adam this Inktober ?

[tenebrare]

Adam. Random aimless doodle. Maybe I should next "aimlessly" try to visualize the 'pixel' Jc Denton as an actual human ? But then should I use Deus Ex or Deus Ex : Invisible War as reference or both ? Anyway this aimless doodle. Was to kill time between appointments and other things and 1st thing i did of it was... ear. A friend of mine said now he needs V's (Cyberpunk) coat and neon tip on his blades.

Deus Ex/JC Denton - as promised. I know, I know he lacks his signature sunglasses from 1st game, but a. he did not have them in 2nd game b. How else would I show off his pretty purple (as in 2nd game) eyes? He is supposed to be 23 in both games [I think] (provided the 2nd game stasis was a non-aging thing). I did not add the head nor arm nano-augments as none of my in-game references had them and I ever saw them in fan art only.

Adam - Sunday doodle Those, in current European heatwave - do not forget to drink regularly ! Stay safe and stay in shade with the ice-cubes! Odd as it seems this doodle was very hard to do due to the borderline heat-sickness I was battling against, and since they warned there will be further raise in temperature I'll likely just take week-off from working and doodling to stay safe and keep myself getting another heat stroke so soon after last one. Had to take break every 5 minutes, forgot the basic Photoshop and pen functions due heat. But still wanted to have my Sunday doodle done. But it is clear even when I change day routine to night routine to cope with heat, I cannot function normal until it cools down to normal again. Anyway, stay safe, drink water ad stay in shades !

Deus Ex - Adam Jensen Overworking is bad, people. Look after yourselves and try not to break yourselves while reaching to next goals in your lives.
