"aurrie how much mileage are you trying to get out of one portrait you spent 8 hours on?"

"YES"

aka god sidestep era sura (pre-void eyes because even i got too weirded out by how light they were. cursed tbh) is so round and shiny. like a beachball. golly i sure hope nothing bad happens to it!

hi reve 4.2 demo now has me obsessed with hg so. introducing inesh almeida half-assed shitpost style. sura begrudgingly working with him after getting the mind dive scene (and wanting family badly cos of outsider scar) means it is very quickly going to find out inesh is actually just some guy that’s really autistic about fish. and it's is going to roast him little sibling style every chance it gets

#baps over here #my art #aurrie's art #fhr #fallen hero #revelations spoilers #inesh almeida #oc: suranga fernando #hollow ground #inesh is a cis guy contrary to canon bc i played retri with sura as a trans man first and now it's cemented lol #hes not my oc but i need a tag to keep track of suras hg related stuff lol #its funny i didnt even need to do anything to the original meme. he raises a valid point tho. #(yeah sura is not beating the peacock fursona allegations lol) #my weakness is sibling relationships and especially older caring siblings

[aurriearts]

too excited to wait until it's finished to post so SURA FASHION TIME WIP!! spotted the cloak while looking for references to redesign sura's cape and got completely sidetracked lol

woo quirky elegance style /o/

#my art #fhr #aurrie's art #oc: suranga fernando #i was thinking like raincoat originally but i like bookish's interpretation of comfy mob boss loungewear vibes way more tbh #yea. i could picture sura hanging out at inesh's (sura's hg) place in this #you'll get to meet him in a second i was waiting for the public demo to drop and then. forgor to post

my half of the art trade with @defira85 with her durge Kassara <3

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #the dark urge #durge bg3 #my art #aurrie's art #kassara bhaal #definitely an interesting challenge since i haven't done rpg armor in a hot minute #defira85

[aurriearts]

Sat here for 10 minutes trying to think of something witty or clever to say and came up blank, but I painted! @aurriearts was proud of my art practice and offered up an art trade and I decided that meant I needed to do just way too much in order to challenge myself and make sure he didn't regret asking me

So. This is his Sidestep from Fallen Hero, Suranga Fernando! Why is Sura in what looks like a bad part of London instead of Los Diablos? Who knows! That's the fun of it.

Thank you for the challenge Chris, and I hope you like it <3

#KIRSTYYYYYY WAGHHHHHH THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! #i gotta get a move on with kass #god you did so good with this #friend art #not my art #oc: suranga fernando #I will be looking at this for the next five business days thamku

tips for painting eyes like mine

(here's sura's for example)

use a BIG canvas so you can zoom in to do the details

use textured brushes. they will help SO much. irises have lots of weird details if you look at them close-up, and it's easier to communicate that with rougher/textured brushes vs the smoother kinds

have the whites of the eyes dark first like the colour of the surrounding area + gradually add pops of white/lighter colours. treat them like theyre highlights

add a slight shadow to the area just underneath the eyelid

make the ring outside the iris + pupil dark, gradually build colour around there

add highlights in slightly brighter colours (colour dodge is your friend) to the main iris colour for extra vibrancy. don't make it a solid colour, give it some variety!

use the highlights on the pupil to indicate where the character is looking. it helps with the uncanny valley look + makes them more alive (i have, ironically, scopophobia/eye contact aversion so this tends to help me lol. if you look at my portraits i will pretty much never have a character looking straight ahead/always to the side.)

don't overdo it with the white highlights unless it's for extreme expressions like wide eyes/shock/horror/crying (eyes are shinier with tears) etc. less is more!

bigger/wider eyes = more of the whites show. in comparison, with narrower eyes, the eyelids will hide more of the upper and lower sections of the iris.

when you're looking at something not straight ahead, the eye closer to the direction will move less than the one further away. don't have the pupils dead center!

include a little pink bit for the cornea to make the eyes more defined

work out what direction the eyelashes are going (they curl upwards more for people that aren't east asian, for example, vs the straighter lashes east asians tend to have) - use a slightly lighter colour than the character's haircolour and flick Gently. it depends what direction the eye is in, but for forward facing itll sorta follow/ lean into the curve of the eye and at the center be more upright. this will help combat the spider eyelash issue lol

uhhhhhh eyesocket area tends to be darker since more shadows are cast there, especially at the creases for doublelidded eyes. you can use a slight highlight on the curve of the eyelid to improve the contrast.

think about the dimensions of the surrounding area and how muscles and facial expressions will affect how they look - a furrowed brow will cast a deeper shadow and cause squinting, some smiles will also make squintier eyes, older characters might have crows feet or smile lines, someone who's tired will have deep shadows under the eyes etc, etc.

(image description in alt text) PLEEEEASE click for better resolution I spent eight hours on this thing

anyway hello everyone. I spent like five hours longer on this than I intended but I finally have an up to date sura portrait lol. I gave it little scars on its face from the window shard cuts last minute, watch me remember to never give him those again lmao

edit 12/04/2024: updated with upped saturation and brightness. god i hate how ipad makes things harder to tell when the piece is desaturated hhh

#my art #fallen hero #fhr #oc: suranga fernando #sidestep #god never let me work on a portrait this long again #look at its sideburns tho!!! #i painted over the dd2 cc i made so it would be more on model

wip wednesday!

got tagged by @silvery-bluish and @swordsandspectacles last week and i forgor to post anything. thus i bring lots of WIPS as offerings. 🤲 (image descriptions in alt text!)

this one is inspired by the fact that mortum's old villain suit apparently had TENTACLES.

the chest tentacles that wrapped around ${puppet_name} are similar enough to the arm ones found on the original Mortum suit, though decidedly more heavy-duty.

art trade wip for @defira85 of her durge kassara!

sura + juno art pastiche stuff from a perfect blue poster + leyendecker

my cat harley

ric being his charming self (+ step sura being grumpy) and a mortum doodle with a tiny tomeeta (disastersteps' neets)

older sura with a mildly judgemental expression + a Very Very reluctant chen doing an old spice advert. please save him. (yes ortega is the one wolf-whistling)

uhhhhhh pinging the game back at sadbh and bookish, and additionally @cigarettesandinevitablebetrayal, @sidesteppostinghours, @disastersteps, @defira85, @godshaper, @idlenight, @villainsidestep, @seawardboundsammy and anyone else who would like to also do this \o/
