sorry i can't come in to work today. yeah sorry they killed me off last night. yeah i just wasn't relevant to the plot anymore. i should be in tomorrow but i'll let you know.
thank you so much for answering !! I’ve been so burnt out and art blocked recently and I’ve really wanted to try and get better at rendering, so I really appreciate letting me see the speed paint and the explaination. (I also love the tiny doodle of you collapsing in the corner midway through the process… I feel that. so hard.) sorry if you have a post where you’ve answered this before that I missed, but if you don’t mind me asking, what program and brushes do you use?
hi I’m like. kind of obsessed with your artstyle and the way you render. your one vendetta chreon post with the really intense lighting is literally so nice to look at I was wondering if you have any like timelapses or speedpaints or tutorials or something as a fellow artist im just really interested in your process.
Hello, of course!!
Admittedly, this particular one was a bit of a bad one for a time-lapse as the actual painting part of the drawing is rather short
(And it flashes a little)
So just to explain what the hell happened with the colours as you can't really see what's going on:
Basically, first I coloured them in with the usual colours I'd use for them. Then, I did a greyscale layer on top for the shadows AND light. On top of that one I put a gradient map that made all the shadows on the greyscale layer a blue and the light portions yellowish, put that entire thing on "hard light", and that's basically how I got to those colours I've had in the end. Just lots of trial and error
But my entire process is usually truly just:
Sketch -> rough colouring -> rough shadows -> painting over everything on a new layer atop -> merging everything at the end to adjust the colours a little
Sorry if this barely helped though, feel free to ask me in dms or something too! And thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like it <3
sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me
