I wanted to finish something before I put up even a sketch dump and here it is; A comic page which would preface a longer story. I know these characters pretty well and I wanted to play with them for a page or two before settling down to something more serious.. possibly even realistic. (Also I know its a bad habit, but I've been writing these characters for a long time and the pages I make now simply assume you know the characters.. heres a few from a year or two ago if you're interested. And slightly mentally handicapped. 1,2,3,4 aaaand so on.)
Character designs:
I was pretty down for a while in what I was working on; mainly because of the complete failure of my 'self portrait'. On the left is the colour rough I worked up while painting and to the right.. the sheer awfulness of what I've ended up with. If I can bear to look at it again, i might take a huge brush to it and really mess it up.
Now for some happier things! I've been doing one Zodiac-based doodle per day, here's Taraus and Gemini:

that.. song.. is AWESOME.

Outlining is one stroke extra around an object?
ReplyDelete(What am I supposed to be doing?) I'll find a tut, cheers.
Yeah, and thats bad.
ReplyDeleteFlattens out images REAL bad.
it creates depth between objects - but the objects become flat themselves,as your applying the same lineweight on every edge/part of that object.
Its not bad, but you have to know when to use it. which isnt alot of the time.
