trying a whole bunch of stuff out all at once and seeing what sticks. the timelapse is a little chaotic as a result, but it was fun nonetheless, especially lining without any real sketch or planning. can't say i'll do that too often, but i'm glad i tried
It's Valentine's day! You there, browsing the tag. Have you ever thought 'I like Nick Valentine, but I wish he starred in two novels lovingly written in the prose style of a detective noir from 1943, and so help me God, I don't want to pay a cent for it?' No! Nobody has! What an unusually specific dream!
But it's too late, I've already written them.
More than that, I've filled them with art, too.
If this sounds like something you'd like, you can find the full series (the two books and two small side stories) here.
expanding on that ghoul cowboy idea from the other day. that eye stays closed most of the time, so people assume it isn't there, but it pops open the minute it's time to aim
boy, did this one take a while!! whenever i got very stuck on a part, i made myself close the file and go do another study to get over the wall, so this was done on and off over a few weeks. the timelapse for this one is long, and inelegant, but if i just showed you the stuff that came together in a 'pretty' way i'd be doing the both of us a disservice
there's a part very near the end of the timelapse where it looks like nothing is happening. it is, it's just very zoomed in. i hand drew the marquis outlines on the shards
i though it would be fun to try my hand at drawing the new ghoul cowboy character from the tv show with a retro twist! a little more in line with the older fallout style, just for fun, though this is a mishmash between a bunch of different ghoul design elements from 1 - 4. the mouth split and eye cover is pretty old school, but his facial features are more modern
i was thinking of fun ways to make him emote. eventually i landed on this, keeping his bottom lip and having the skin split as a body language supplement!
unfinished picture i think is still interesting, even if i won't be continuing it. getting a handle on the really gloppy brushes with a bunch of rapid fire stuff
