i started this project weeks ago as a collage (only showing this part) to get out some of my random sketches without taking so long to render (ha)

you can see how well that went.

experimenting with a lot of more traditional-style digital brushes like watercolors and whatnot (clip studio)

those little yandere-ass voicelines from ulixes really have me thinking of a conversation with i had with @palin-tropos: uli just needs an outlet, but steban has complexes. a bit of kinky gay sex & comradely unconditional love, a lineup of high-energy concerts, an emotional support cat, and Doom Eternal could fix ulixes. steban, on the other hand… steban’s had plenty of familial love. He’s Just Like That.

I’ve done a million studies of his face shape at this point and I STILL feel like I’m not getting him correctly. You should see my WIPs folder it’s full of things like this (but less clean). It’s the price of liking a character too much I suppose,

[ID: Two black and white sketches of Kim Kitsuragi and one trace over deconstruction of his official portrait. In the first sketch he’s looking slightly up and to the right. In the second sketch he’s holding one glove in his teeth while massaging his ungloved hand. /End ID]

it is kind of beyond parody how dark math games, the ZA/UM breakaway with the most direct ties to the producers/investors, is also the one that truly fundamentally misunderstands what made disco elysium so special and groundbreaking. i just watched xxx nightshift's trailer and it is literally just "what if the opening scene of disco elysium was all narrated to you by one sexy lady and instead of waking up in a shitty hostel in a shitty part of a shitty city, you woke up in Absolute Luxury?" like timo albert outright stated they wanted their game to have less reading and more bullets. clownish indeed but what else can be expected from capitalist grifters masquerading as leftists?

Please give me constructive criticism to make this art I’m making for my brother closer to the original. I’m thinking i need to rework the white closer to that off purple grey, I’m so proud of the face looking part but wish i could edit it further right and fix the “face” shape, the little octagon holes look a tad out of place.

While I’m proud of how close I’ve managed to get the painting my brother can be picky and i want this to be a good gift for him

Thanks y’all please i wont be offended if u point out what i need to fix (and if u can give me tips on how to make that happen thatd be sweet I’ve never had an art class)

And if anyone has tips for making the wispy bits around the figure thatd be cool I’m thinking thin painted line and making it wispy with a (dry or wet??) sponge brush ?

Also I’ve never played the game so please help me brain storm a funny letter to go with the gift!

Im assuming game play dialogue is like

>You receive a painting

-sell it for drug money

-thank your sister

Etc so something like that would be cool

Can’t believe how upset I am over collage mode rn. I guess “capital subsumes all" really is fucking true.

the organ of love

just some painting practice to take my mind off my actual painting assignment

[whispering-rayn]

How does one find beta readers for fanfic?

it's a strange feeling loving a game as much as i love disco elysium and being so irritated that it constantly mixes communism and state capitalism up

[boogieboba]

Guys i just came up with the PERFECT lil guy for my character design class—

So after a bit of thinking about this, I wanted to address some of the later critique aimed at this in the past couple weeks (through mostly anons but also replies and hashtags,) because although it hurt my feelings a bit because I’m a sensitive little wampus, I also feel it is correct

Harry is waaaay too “pretty” here.

I think this happened for two reasons.

The first is because I actually do think he’s rather attractive as he is in the game, “expression of pain” and all, but I acknowledge that that’s an, er….let’s be nice and say “unconventional” viewpoint.

The second reason is that a huge reason I did this to begin with was I was wanting to improve my painting skills, and so I was watching a metric fuckton of tutorial and tip videos, and unfortunately, most of those examples use conventionally attractive femme faces as examples.

Anyway, I’ll offer those as excuses, but I also should have considered this more before posting it as finished, and for that, y’all have my apologies. I haven’t posted any art involving Harry since this (but I will!), and I’m hoping I can do better with him on the paintings and drawings I’m currently working on 🤞😤🤞

Hoooo boy. It's finally finished. This only took me eight months to paint. T.T

Disco Elysium is soooo good y'all; I feel like I'll never give it the credit it deserves.

I'm not even sure it's finished, but I'm just going to set this down now, though.

Clip studio paint and a ton of downloaded watercolor and acrylic brushes.

Let me know if you want me to pull out any closeups or anything
