#trying so hard to ignore the art mistakes I made 😭😭

IM BACK HEHE

I finished the Natlan archon quest a couple days ago and wanted to share my thoughts + my Capitano art dump/ screenshot sketches cause he’s so fun to draw and literally my favorite character rn alongside bill lol :>>

I feel like you’d want to see this :]] @ezio-adonyn

Anyways, I even tried making my own version of what Capitano might look like w/o his mask even though I think he looks amazing with it on (I’m aware the scars may not look as accurate as they should but it was a trial and error for me so please don’t hate too much :,)

And my thoughts abt the archon quest + random things below :33 which means spoilers ofc

OKAY ARCHON QUEST STUFF + RANDOM STUFF TOO

If there’s spelling errors I’m not fixing them :,D

At first I didn’t like Mavuika that much mainly design wise but after playing the quest she started to grow on me 😭 and her design too

THE CUTSCENES WERE SO COOL?!? like the whole Capitano vs Mavuika was so epic Ragh whelp like something I’ve seen in those crazy anime fights 🤔 but idk since I don’t watch anime :/

I HOPE CAPITANO IS PLAYABLE I kept looking at those random videos online and everyone is saying he won’t be playable in Natlan but Columbina will or something around that 😐 honestly I’m not that interested in comunbina which is ironic because I loved drawing biblical angels and she kinda is one but she hasn’t really interested me yet so im really hoping Capitano is playable within Natlan

The friendship between Mualani and Kachina is amazing and so wholesome :))

I loved Mavuika’s room with all those items in it reminds me of me with my random items I collect but I got so sad when she had to use them as fuel 😭 cause some of the stuff was so damn pretty. Does that mean she also burned the picture of her family 😦

I love the damn animals in Natlan they’re so cutee EPESCIALLT THE CAPIBARAS RAGHHH

I’m excited to see who was talking to Capitano at the end of the archon quest cause I feel like it’s Ororon

And I’ve noticed that in the out of barrier areas there’s a lot of stuff that isn’t realized which looks like the other tribes they look so cool I can’t wait to finish my oc finally and make them based of the saurians from one of the tribes

I’ve gotten over 20 or so pulls in barely 3 days or so 😭 it’s so crazy I love it. All those wishes are being saved up for capitano >:D

I got kazuha on a one pull and I’m not complaining heh ( he’s at level 50 rn rotting as I travel Natlan I’ll probably forget I have him honestly )

Anyways that’s the end of my random yapping lol if you read all of this I’m surprised cause the grammar probably died during the middle of this

hi hina! i love your art so much i can't stop staring at your megumi and yuuji piece 😭 how do you usually render your paintings? do you use the lasso tool? how long do pieces like that usually take for you to finish? and when do you consider a piece to be done, like when do you stop working on it? sorry if these questions are a lot, or if any of these were already answered! please feel free to ignore, thank you!! i hope your 2021'll be a good one 🙇‍♀️🤍

hello anon!!! im so happy u like my art omg :’))) and no need to apologize at all <3

here’s a colouring tutorial I made a while back, my general process for painting hasn’t changed all that much ghfgs. Sketch>flats>details>effects using minimal layers if i can help it! I’ll also link a recent timelapse I did so u kind of see the full start to finish, you cn hopefully see a bit more of the rendering for yourself rather than just hav me try 2 explain :’>

whether or not I use the lasso tool usually depends on the amount of detail I’m going for with a piece though lately I have been making more frequent use of it. like if there’s Lots going on in a given area that I’m trying to render I’ll lasso it off so that I don’t fuck up anything else I’ve already worked on! I’m also getting into the habit of using it for blocking in initial hair shadows

my sleep schedule is so fucked so its hard 2 guess accurately but i think usually if I’m rly focused and in the Zone with like. ur average drawing it’ll take me a little under 24hrs? N for bigger pieces with more than 2 characters it can take anywhere from 2-4 days I’d say? u know oddly enough tht megumi/yuuji piece didn’t take very long at all I actually finished it all in the span of one evening i was really surprised at myself :’) 

I consider a piece to be done when there’s no more sketchiness or glaring mistakes n I’ve had my fun playing around with the saturation/colour balance/contrast settings :’> slap a textured overlay on that bad boy and call it a day cast it into the void of tumblr n wait for validation frm strangers on the internet 

thank u for asking and i hope this helps a bit!! happy new year to you as well~
