[themeeplord]

So, last cryptid post you mentioned how ya boys kept growing..

At this point, Meep, just go ahead and make them Monster Hunter elder dragon sized, you know you want to c:

This took way too long and sorry for being so cryptic about it ^^’, but now ya know why I so suddenly gained an interest in MH :>

Might post just the lineart of the design later for an unshrouded look, tho I know some things could be played around with more (proportion wise) to hit home that MH creature feel, but I’m no expert and you’re probably more familiar with that anyway <3 also they’re your boys and the design already lends itself handsomely to the MH-iffication ^^

Also also, a little Bonus doodle ;)

Kinda falling in love with the whole idea as a possible au. A familiar, albeit slightly different hunter and monster/quarry dynamic, ey? But again, your boys, ain’t gonna step on your toes.

Hope you’re having a lovely day! <333

P.S. I’m very sorry to interrupt the Apex Polarity brainrot, I’ll be following soon ^^'

I'm going absolutely INSANE over this!! PIIXEL!!! I'M BITING THIS AND YOU SO HARD RN!!!!

I loooove the Nergigante inspired horns and how every scale, horn and spike are just so much BIGGER! It all comes together so well! Love how you drew their face as well, everything is more defined and their huge bottom canines are just MWAH!

I can't look away from those beautifully drawn HANDS!! LOOK AT THE ONES ON THE GROUND AND ON THE ROCK BEHIND THEM!! THEY'RE SO PERFECT!!!!!

And the lighting?! GOSH!!!!

I also am just in love with the concept of them being an elder dragon! Honestly they could definitely be one. Elder dragons are so diverse and weird looking so one looking like this wouldn't be so strange at all! Also the hunter and monster dynamic here is so intriguing! If you'll let me, I'd like to explore this a little more~

Thank you Piixel! I'm just completely melted over this, I'm just a puddle, I love it so much! AAAAAA!!!!

[ozumii-fucking-wizard]

your art is so beautiful i've been drooling over it for days (and only 50% of it is over how handsome young halsin is i promise lmao) i was wondering what brushes/software you use? everything looks so soooft, i'm in love

Thank you so much! I use Clipstudio Paint! The brushes i use for rendering is the basic ones

these! and for sketching/lineart it depends on the day and or vibes but these are my faves

Another thing that affects the "softness" besides adding a rimlight around the stroke (i forgot what its called rn) and color theory, picking light values and making sure they go well with the dark ones also helps!

[dumpsterfire-allavita]

🔆 REASON: 🔆

———————————

After getting in contact with Doobie I received their request. I honestly hadn’t heard of this au before so I did a little research.

Doobie had asked that I drew Negativetale Sans. As his au name suggests he’s more negative. He’s the Bizzaro version of himself you could say. Often pickpocketing for loose G and despising his brother. You couldn’t put it past him to kill his own brother if it benefited him.

So I sketched out a design and confirmed with Doobie that it was what they wanted and got to work.

🪱 TOOLS USED: 🪱

———————————

Cheap sketchbook

Mechanical pencil

Procreate

Procreate pack (colored pencil pack and liner pack)

🎨 PROCESS: 🎨

————————————

Starting with a sketch on paper I then took a photo and put it in procreate

Then I crop to adjust anything that I might’ve missed or disliked how it looked

After I line everything

Once that’s done I secure the whole image in one color and separate it from the background

Using the lasso tool I block out certain colors on their own later for that color

Using alpha lock on each of those layers I add the shading and coloring

However I deemed that the shading was not enough and that some of the lineart needed to be colored too. So I made sure to add those here and there.

As I looked at it I found the colors to be too bright so I put a black wall and made sure it was see through like sunglasses lenses and used the eraser to make the lighted spots pop out more!

With that all said in done I added black and white line art and highlights to give it a more comic book style.

☎️ TIME: ☎️

——————————

The sketch: 30 mins

The Lineart: 1 hour 30 mins

Blocking: 45 mins

Lighting: 20 mins

Touch Ups: 20 mins

Total: Too much math for me to count rn 🤷‍♀️

Hope you enjoy the video and photo from my efforts!!!!

Love ya breadcrumbs!

[hexados-on-a-string]

AAAAAAA OH MY GDO IM SCREAMING THANK U SO MUCH ❤💖💕💗💖💝 SHE LOOKS SO GOOD dont thank me i should be thanking YOU she looks so good in ur style i love her THANK YOUUUUU

i go without finishing a drawing for months and then i churn out a runo drawing in a day it is what it is

[your-unfriendlyghost]

hi broski ummmm what programs do you use for art and what brushes

I use procreate! For lineart/sketching I usually use a slightly modified version of the Shale brush in the default procreate “calligraphy” section- just w/ the streamline feature turned down to zero and more like…size variation? (Idk I modified it a year and a half ago I don’t completely remember what I did lol)

Then for my grayscale comics, like these,

I use this Copic marker brush w/ just straight up black and varying levels of opacity. Usually I don’t use blending brushes in these, but in my most recent one I did.

For my colored stuff tho I use a lotta this pencil brush for everything (shadows, highlights, base flats, etc) and then depending on whether I want something more painterly (like the ocs on the left) or more cell shaded (like stevepop on the right), I either use soft texture brushes or a chalk brush (I cannot for the LIFE of me find where this chalk brush came from?? I’ve been digging but idk I can’t find it outside of my duplicate??) for highlights

Some other brushes/brush sets I use (all of them are free as of rn ‘cuz I’m broke):

Habook Brushpack (specifically the rectangle one- it puts down flat colors nice and fast but also doesn’t annoy me the way most “ink” brushes do!)

Laurenillusrated Brushpack- I use these mainly for skin, they’re really nice. (Also, @laurenillustrated is on tumblr- her art is so pretty, it’s like a storybook istg. Check it out if you haven’t it’s AMAZING)

I’ve recently started using @loish’s brushpack too, and I ADORE these brushes. I used them a TON on the Christine poster. You can get them by signing up for Loish's Digital Art School, which is a great collection of art resources as a whole, and it’s totally free. Would absolutely recommend

And finally, for the halftone texture I like to put on everything, I use the Halftone Hospital Basic Tone Kit. All of their brushes are fantastic, definitely check them out if you like the look of traditional art but also like the lower supply cost of digital art lol. Or just in general, ‘cause they’re great

(Then for the paper texture overlays I love so much, I usually use stock photos tbh.)

Anyhow, these are some of my favorites. But I do use others too, and this all came from years of playing around and finding what I like! I had this phase about…1 1/2-2ish years ago where I hated my art style and nothing was coming out right. It pushed me to try a bunch of different brushes- in retrospect I don’t think the brushes were what made it better, I just improved over time, but I had a lot of fun trying out different brushes. So definitely try ‘em out and experiment, because it really is a fun time :))

(As for my workflow, I talk about that here if you wanna know more about how I draw!)

[pechtothevoid]

Hey @bluepeachstudios ! How are ya? i should be doing stuff but instead i'm here with your boy Lonny! whose name i always spell Loony first and then correct it :D Ngl to ya, Lonny's sketch is superior that the end result. I blame it on the brush i'm using for the lineart :] I won't change it tho. They need to be a set. I'm already screw.

SO, HC TIME!:

Ok, i don't remember the ask exactly but i remember reading that Lonny makes the more aesthetically pleasing inventions, but also the less efective. So i thought "Oh, he likes design! What kind of design does he like?" and i think he would really love interior design, which i think you may have mention already or something in that topic? So, yeah, Lonny might be an interior designer. (He would be one of those people that plays the sims just to make cool houses AND HE WOULD BE SO GOOD AT IT. Also, in the Animal Crossing game he shares with Leo and Dea, Lonny is the one that makes the Island cute and neat.)

In that topic, you also mentioned that he has a folder. So i thought it would have a lot of interior design ideas inside. Also that it gives him peace to look at it. This is not a big HC… more like a HC detail /hj But it helps with his anxiety.

I had this HC that i thought before chap 11 (and after Dea's drawing) of Dea and his thoughts. I thought being Deangelo might be really tiring because of all the thought in his head, but he's stable because he has a filter/system to them, so he consumes a lot of energy but is stable. I wanted to mention it because i think Lonny also consumes a lot of energy for of all the paths and worries he has, but doesn't have a filter for them yet and because of that he's kind of an unstable fusion. It's obviously not cannon because in chap11 Dea was outside for days without problem. But idk, i like to compare them. They are both sometimes overwhelmed by their thoughts but Lonny is worst at dealing with them (When he appeared the first thing he did was having a crisis SO-).

You know? Indigo is a weird color. Some people thinks Indigo is this purple shade (like Lonny uses) and others a bright-dark blue? Google Indigo, the differences between the colors is so wild! These are two completely different tones and yet both are considered indigo… (This is not a HC. This is just me being "indigo is not that shade!" at Lonny and discovering that Indigo is a fucking lie.)

Lonny is the only fusion with Leo who i think uses just He and plural they. He might be super gay tho /J

Anyway BYE i need to run or i will be late. This is totally worth it tho /hj (no. Really. I'm def gonna be late. I shouldn't be doing this rn)

hi uh-

You seem to know how to render so I was wondering if you could possibly give me tips? :'>

Love your art btw it is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Aaa thank you! Rendering is not something i consider myself particularly good at and i'm still trying to learn, but here's some things i picked up!

Shapes! Edges! Have a balance between smooth, nicely blended areas and really sharp and shaped areas

So imagine you're doing lineart or a sketch. Places where you would put lines (eg. cheekbones, wrinkles etc) are really good places to have some sharp edges. I like to make things smoother and more blended in places where there's more skin.

Undertones!! I color the entire thing in one color (i looove working with green and blue here, but i also play around with different colors as well) and then i build on from that.

DON'T ZOOM IN TOO MUCH. Focus on the big picture. Zoom out and see if the shapes are visible, if your picture is recognizable and doesn't look muddy. It's nice to have distinct light and shadows.

Block things out first and then do details later on. But you don't have to dwell on them too much, it's up to preference really! I usually find that my art looks really weird if i render too many details

Use references, see how light, shadows and colors interact! References are great i love them 10/10 no notes.

If you're rendering a face, know about the planes of the face. This will really help you out, also ties really nicely with the edges and shapes thing. Another thing i love to do is feel it out myself. I just drag my fingers across my face and try to understand how it works, where the bones are, how the skin "wraps" etc!

Don't use too many brushes, it will just look messy and cluttered and out of place.

These are the ones i can think of rn. Most of these are up to preference really and won't apply to every situation or drawing. But yeah! Just experiment, really! Try new things! Have fun with it as well :D

[laikataru]

Ohhhh! I’ve always loved your art!

Do you have any tips? (Any will do!)

Tysm!!!! I’ll share some tips that have helped me improve over the years!

- USE REFERENCES! Using references are a great way to help you practice and study anatomy! Eventually you’ll be able to imagine a pose with accurate proportions in cool angles bc you understand how the body is shaped!!! (Pintrest is really good for this)

- Try to push yourself. At times it’ll feel like your art is getting stagnant, personally that’s when I find something in my art if feel like could use improvement (rn I’m working on shoes, backgrounds, and lighting!) and then try to do a full piece focusing on those areas. It’ll be refreshing and rewarding in the long run!

- Get involved with a community! Many many MANY times I will look at moots or friends artwork and love their style, or their takes on characters, or little flourishes they add to their art. It’s a great way to get inspiration and it makes your brain think a little bit on how they go about the process, and how you would be able to replicate it!

- YOUTUBE TUTORIALS!!! There are so many channels out there that provide real FREE advice from professional teachers and artists! Utilize them!!! ( Winged Canvas is a great channel that I watch frequently!)

- Switch up your brushes every now and then! You’d be surprised how much a brush can affect the style of a piece, experiment a bit! Here are some of the main brushes I use if you’re curious ^^

- Flip your canvas every now and then! It really helps you to see imperfections more clearly!

- And lastly, Trust the process. Many times for me when I get to lineart or base colors, I feel like the piece isn’t looking too good, and that can be demotivating! Try to stick with it, because usually it will start looking way better once you have some rendering on it. However, if you’ve been messing with a piece for awhile and it still isn’t turning out great, take a step back and comeback to it later, or try to start again. (Usually my second passes are better than my first idea, it’s okay if the first one doesn’t work out!)

[kokoasci]

just came across your page and i hope this doesnt sound weird but i NEED to see you do a speedpaint.... i keep looking at your drawings trying to figure out how youre doin stuff, and I just cant figure it out

i love analyzing peoples art because you can always pick up techniques to use in your own but also cause its facinating to see others draw, like what part do you draw first what do you focus on, do you use guidelines everywhere or are you one of the crazy ppl that are past that part, ect ect

hiii hahaha this is actually funny bc im in the middle of making a speedpaint rn !! its of the sigma lineart i shared a few days ago, im struggling with coloring but hopefully im able to finish it

thats really cool!! i dont use guidelines very often unless im feeling patient enough to really play with perspective, most of the time its from vibes 😭 i do have a coloring tutorial (which is kind of like a speedpaint ig?) that you can find here !!

thank you for asking!! if my process helps people achieve the artstyle they want im more than happy to share how i do stuff :D

[trlvsn]

Listen, can you tell me more about your art process? Because honestly everything from your sketches to the final product is amazing and I'm really curious to know how you go about it.

i am finally neither drunk nor hungover so i can reply to this properly! honestly, never expected an ask like this bc this is like. for the good (tm) artists. i started drawing in february, as well as this blog, and i'm still finding and changing things!

either way, what i strongly advise to think about first is a good idea and a good composition: first more important than last, but a drawing can just be hard to look at if it's not well-organized. for some reason, i like to do triangles with a detail in the center to which attention will be naturally drawn.

once i figure out what i want, i start doing multiple sketches: a very rough one with no reference and very thin repetitive lines, then a better one with references and corrections, and then a finer one, with thick strokes. here, you see the final sketch (still not lineart, though), and this is also where i put a base in the background: i find working with a white bg to be inconvenient, and it does add somewhat of an undertone.

then i do the lineart in thinner and better strokes! i'm still playing with the brushes and customizing them, but here are the ones i use rn in ibis paint:

i later go a layer below lineart and fill in the simple colors. even if i plan on making the light green later or using some interesting shadow colors, right now i imagine the lighting is simple and white. i put on the basic shadows by using the multiply layer and some dull pinks.

as you can see, i also color the lineart later with a clipping tool. frankly, by this point, the drawing looks bad. that's where i use the multiply layer again:

in this case, i added light by coloring some parts of the layer with a lighter contrasting color, but sometimes i just erase parts for really bright lighting in an otherwise dark setting, like in the beanix, kristoph and maya drawings in the first picture.

i add light with a normal layer by color-picking, and sometimes just go over the whole thing with a normal layer as well to correct small imperfections. i only use stuff like blurring and hard light layers for the candles, as i like to keep a certain roughness to the drawing.

uhh, what else is there? i do love doing a spot-the-symbolism moment like, everywhere, especially in the fey clan pieces... but i feel the most important part is painting not an image, but a character. this is why I'm so fond of painting from a live model: you don't capture a singular moment, you compile millions of images into one, this capturing the essence of the person, locking time with paint. that's, of course, not the case here, i just like to talk.

either way, just have fun with it!! duplicate your drawings to experiment, use clipping tools, learn some composition and color / shading basics, make things stand out!!

and thank you so much for the compliment:)

[altho-arto]

A little late, but here's some of my works from 2023 ! (only cheated a little for months where i did stuff but forgot to publish it, consider it a sneak peak haha) Happy to see my style continue to evolve in a direction im generally happy with, while also occasionally going out of my comfort zone to try out a bit of painting and push my colors a little bit !

Can't wait to be even more obnoxious about my interests (related : bonus AA/DGS only summary under the cut) and post some weirder fanarts over the next year, despite wanting the concept of cringe dead and buried i have trouble applying that to myself so we'll see <3 happy 2024!

i made some fun AAvsPL crossover stuff this year, and while the DGS brainrot that consumed my whole brain this year was slowly going away i have new friends who are discovering dgs1 rn and bringing me back the spark for it... my multishipper heart is happy i could participate in more events this year, but id love to publish more ryulock than before cause the ratio of sketches i make VS stuff i finish and post for them is insane!!! also need to do my ot3 propaganda maybe so i can get even more niche than i was before !! (clown emoji)

anyways. also got more yuri in the plans but i dont want to make promises i cant keep. but ginamari i am not forgetting you <3

bonus for the people who read all that : see the Herlock in the June slot ? he was not drawn like an emoji on purpose. that lineart was actually made in 2021 when i was playing through dgs1, and finding how to do his face was my personal nightmare (tbh except ryuu none of the dgs characters came "easy" to me). it took time but as you can see now i found a way ! so dont give up if you dont know how to draw your blorbo in your style, it can rly be a struggle but eventually you'll get there!! just gotta be patient with yourself !! (also looking how other artists draw him can help. thank you random ryulock doujin which had rly cool herlock eyes)

[beannary]

Ahhh, your new update looks so wonderful! The dots-thingy we talked about looks amazing here -- having a lower opacity and/or keeping it for the background really does the trick, as well as adding some spacing between the dots and the characters to make them stand out. And using shades of grey to differentiate elements? Perfect.

"the nitty-gritty details"?? I love Donnie talking like Big Mama. If this is something you've done before, I still wanna point it out lol

My favourite panels:

I am sooo reblogging it on my new TMNT sideblog lol

Also, what program/app do you use for making the comic? Do you draw on a tablet or do you use a PC and a graphic tablet? And how do you do your lineart? It looks so beautiful and so clean. I looooove it.

Keep going <3

aw wow thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! and yeah i was really trying to sort of take what i attempted in the previous update but make it look a bit better, so i just did a lot of looking at what other tmnt artists have done and also looking at some like tutorials for greyscale comics and i ended up with this!!!

and yeah those panels were actually some of my favorites to draw ksldjhfalkjdshf specifically the first one you attached to the ask i had such a blast with that one

i am trying to like make donnie speak a bit more like big mama but a lot of the time i just forget salkdfjhlkasjdhf or i have a hard time incorporating her speech patterns into his way of talking but im working on making my dialogue better so hopefully i can incorporate that some more!

and i use clip studio paint! for lineart i just have my stabilization on suuuuuuuuperr high or maybe its not super high? idk my stabilitzation is at 20 rn for my lineart brush and i thought it was a lot higher but i also have no reference for how much people use stabilization for their lineart so idk oh and yeah i draw on my laptop! i have a wacom tablet that i hook up to it and i draw that way!
