Fatter older vigilante in some scenario where gunlante sticks together for enough years. Protag probably looks more or less the same lol

Oh this old thing hehe?

Colored this bit for my twitter pfp. I kinda hate to color digitally but I've decided to use color palette ref photos + shading ref photo + lasso fill and I'm pleased w this one. Of course at the end I still smashed photoshop's color correction buttons :D

Плачь, плачь, галка, нам тебя не жалко "Cry, Galka, cry, we don't care why" - In Russian, "Galka" means jackdaw. However, it's also a slang name for Haloperidol, antipsychotic with controversial use in Russian psychiatric hospitals

It seems there's someone here I had a problem with back at the coffee shop.

And honestly, I don't think this one's on me.

Ok so this drawing keeps bothering me, please advise if anyone has ideas, bc I wanna tinker with it some more digitally 🧐

Basically *something* is off with colors, I think. In terms of value contrast, it reads well enough in monochrome to me. but either the colors or their temperature are not quite right, or maybe the values need to be more organized after all? Like, the light and dark spots are not highlighting the focus points enough and instead just separate the forms all over. Also I feel like the space should be darker and his sweater+scarf also seem too bright..

take it with a grain of salt etc etc

here's with some colors in my photo edit app, about what I said about red. also recommend playing with some gray? it gives oomph to colorness of colors near it, and also becomes stand-in complimentary (looks greenish on red and vise versa)

and auto-change from the same app, making the "look here" color stand out from everything else

all work no play solution is of course doing a teeny tiny copy of the work beforehand to see if colors/contrasts work 🥴

[barbru]

Ahhh you are the best!!! Thank you thank you!! This is super interesting. Both versions look less flat and way closer to what I wanted. I'm still kinda team ochre but reds do look very good, and using grays is a great idea. Also noticed some brighter/darker spots that really enhance the forms

And yeah making a color sketch would be definitely wise 😅 I got so overwhelmed with the amount of elements with different colors AND lighting that I charged head on and hoped at least repeating the same color shades would save me 😵

protag inviting vigilante who's been running on fumes to eat. His own plate is empty bc vigilante made him prove the makarony po-flotski aren't poisoned

The sun is scorching, and even the small warmth you crave makes you cautious...

actually i would draw anything for you guys for the low low price of buying me soulsov on itchio. as i can't from my country. I might make a pretty post about it later but I would do 1-2 fullbody characters in color, digital or scanned acrylic markers like my latest drawings. The game costs 10 bucks which is peanuts compared to what I would ask for a commission like this normally but ggdg is a genius and i must have it
