#i shared that art with this artist as a reference

[secretmellowart]

A lot of people have asked me for my Secret to painting background art—- so I put together this short one-minute video on how I combine Blender 3D models with 2D illustrations!

Especially for the latest chapter of my Hobbit Comic I’ve posted over on @retellingthehobbit , I always use a 3D model as a base for more elaborate backgrounds— but the main place where I differ from other artists is that I also use 3D models as a reference for lighting and color. I do a little bit more work upfront in the 3D modeling phase so I have less to do in the Photoshop painting phase. It’s a workflow I really recommend if you have access to Blender! And if anyone wants any more tips, I’m happy to share.

Sunday Moon

Hi there dear fellows and Luna lovers. Sunday arrived early.

Don't edit this drawing and don't post it anywhere.

This one is so precious to me. This artist knows ph and vnc and all the times they draw some character is like,,, I die. Latelly, I am a little obsess with Luna using the book of Vanitas.

The commission was made by @/heychikinan here on Tumblr, on Twitter and everywhere.

I've shared a few pretty straightforward images using my CRT effect, but not much yet that really shows off what an over-engineered monstrosity I've created.

For a start, it's actually 3D. I built most of this in Blender.

Except for the optional bit that simulates composite video artifacts. I wrote that part in shader code and apply it to the base image as a separate step.

I made a high-res shadow mask texture, so it looks pretty good even from absurdly close up.

I can also adjust the scanline hardness and swap the slot mask for a dot mask or aperture grille to simulate different types of display.

Raytracing the whole thing ensures that all of these little details look nice and get sampled correctly, and if I want to change the glare reflecting off of the screen...

...I can adjust it by rearranging the furniture in the room.

So... yeah. That's what is current going on whenever I post pixel art with my CRT effect. It's not quite perfect yet, but I think it's getting pretty good.

Partial hand bank for Elias from my files. Some flats and some finished/lit ones, so good stuff with light differences!

been seeing a lot of people say kalim's outfit in the tangled event reminds them of pascal, or that it feels more like princess and the frog than tangled, but the first thing it made me think of is all the concept art where rapunzel was going to have a green dress!!

And, meet the second character of my manga - Alex

I thought for a long time what color palette to choose for him, and settled on blue shades. I think it suits him 🫐📘🩵

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I recently went into the x-men and I found my own dead with Charles and Erik AND I NEED READ MORE OF THEM BUT I SO LOST AFTER POWERS AND HOUSE OF X SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE CONTINUE, can u help me?

(alsoIlikeyoursdrawingsiwishbeingsoconstantwithmycontentlikeu)

i'll be very candid with you my friend: i'm totally lost too !!!!!!! your comic-reading journey is about as green as mine and so i cant personally give you a super great guide- but beautiful people on the internet exist who've done most of the dirty work for us when sorting through the stories you 'should' read so i'm borrowing them to help us both

you can read this article to read about one person's advice with exploring krakoa and- in their opinion- its most 'significant' stories, though to summarize the issues they recommend looking into:

House of X/Powers of X (which you should have already done)

X of Swords event

Hellfire Gala

Inferno

X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine

Second Hellfire Gala

Third Hellfire Gala

Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X (also should have already done, however...) +Single issue: X-Men (2021 series) #35 aka Uncanny X-Men #700 is featured at the end of the FoX omnibus, though the omnibus excludes an extra bit at the end involving a cliffhanger for Charles's fate after he's arrested

if you want to dig a little deeper though, you can check out this article from another individual which includes another wave of 'relevant' (word used loosely as some can be considered more poignant than others) krakoa stories and stories related to it or set during the period.

it's a lot longer and more in depth than the last article, so again i only really rec peaking at this one depending on how deep you wanna go, or if you decide you want to explore more after reading the more 'key' stories. def wouldn't hurt to give it a glance just in case you read some summaries that pique your interest!

all in all, don't take these as concrete rules or guides to follow: comics are meant to be fun, these are just good starting points if you're feeling lost or overwhelmed. at the end of the day, you decide ultimately what you want to read and which stories interest you the most

happy reading !
