some intro/FAQ stuff :^)

Who are you???

I'm Corin! or corn. I was born in 2001 (I don't want to keep updating this on my birthday haha).

Can I use your art as a profile pic or banner?

Sure! As long as you can credit me, then I'm cool with it :)

Can I repost your art outside of tumblr?

Again, give proper credit and include a link back here. And obviously don't make money off of it, edit out watermarks, use for AI, be terrible, etc.

Drawing programs?

Paint Tool Sai 2 and Procreate! Also Storyboard Pro 24 when I feel like it.

Tags?

#corns ocs - Art of my original characters.

#corns star crossed - Art from Star Crossed, my oc story.

#corns empyrean - Art from Empyrean, my other oc story.

#corns art tag :0 - General art tag.

#corn ask :^] - Responses to my asks.

Do you take requests?

My ask box is always open. Although there's no guarantee I'll get to your request!

Take commissions?

In the future. Not right now.

Do you sell prints, stickers, etc.?

Not currently. My sketches are done in small resolutions so they probably wouldn't look great when printed. Although if you really, REALLY want something as a print, I could dm you a .pdf??

Thanks for stopping by ^^ <3

hello, u got lovely art ♡ love ur castaway au ♡♡♡♡♡

i have a question, how do u get ur comic panel composition to look so nice???

when i try to make a page somehow looks too crowded and doesnt have a nice flow, and dont get me started on individual composition on every individual panel.

yours look so nice they remind me of french comics(european comics??)

anyway love ya~ <3<3<3<<3

Thank you so much!!! I'll try my best to explain:

I think of a single page as a whole composition. I keep in mind reading direction. In my case that's left to right, up to down. This forms S-curves. Ideally, the placement of the bubbles and the artwork in those panels sustain that S-curve composition.

Usually per page, I like to have a focal, big panel which are complimented by medium and small panels.

After scripting, I do SCUFFED sketches of page layouts. After that, I add bubbles and text. Then I do my final sketches and line art around it. Because bubbles are a prominent element in comics, I want them to be intentionally placed. Still, as I work I'll move bubbles around slightly to give room for the artwork. My goal is to make sure all elements like bubbles, panels, and drawings are readable.

In that case, I don't draw everything in a panel. Not all panels get backgrounds. Not every character is drawn with their intricacies. I think that works in my favor? It can be visually overwhelming to include every detail which risks losing clarity.

Everything after that is icing on the cake. Colors and funky panels are there to enhance, but they shouldn't detract from the flow.

I'm still experimenting and nothing is scientific but hope this helps!

hello po :₱ ! i saw you answer a similar ask on your process, so i figured you would not mind me asking about these two pieces [aplogies, tumblr won't let me send photos for some reason] : https://www.tumblr.com/corn-cardigan/792541049697533952/started-reading-more-than-meets-the-eye-my?source=share https://www.tumblr.com/corn-cardigan/793412037391843328/really-makes-you-think?source=share

i adore the coloring in them and would love to hear how you did it, idk brushes and blendmodes etc - especially the streaky sort of watercolor effect -- thank you -- sorry if this is redundant considering past asks and that one youtube tut you posted

Those pieces do use the same coloring approach from that video just with added line art on top!

Hope that makes sense 🙇

Here to let you know I'm still OBSESSED with your tfo animatic and i have shown it to 2 ppl none of them big transformers fan but I needed to share awesomeness(they liked it too)

Weirdly enough my favorite part of the animatic is Optimus running to megatron as he's getting shot at. There's something so satisfying in how his torso stays in place as he runs and I don't know if this was on purpose or not but it reminds me a lot on how the bots in the movie move. So pretty neat!

The whole fight scene was beautifully choreographed too. Don't know if I said this in my last ask but I really really liked Orions transformation mid flight like yasss! transformers fighting like transforming robots!! The fight had a nice weight to it

WAHH Thank you!!! 🥹

If you're talking about the shot I think you're talk about, then funnily enough that is actually my least favorite shot in that fight scene??? Goes to show how perception can really change between person to person LMAO 💃🕺

Flare’s a bust. Time for plan b. Stands for bhow does the manual distress broadcast work.

Fanart for @corn-cardigan ‘s castaways au!! I love the textures and the colors and the gentle Magnus design and arcee the weaponsmith and poor springer and a hot rod that is totally 100% normal and okay. Not like those other weirdos.

I think most of the au stuff is found on @quinoa-quilt so I want everyone to go and see all of the stuff there

[corn-cardigan]

[corn-cardigan]

today's my birthdayyyy

[corn-cardigan]

shots from an animatic I was working on back in November?? probably wont finish it but wanted to share the scenes I cleaned up

[corn-cardigan]

All of your designs in the cast away au are so perfect but i can’t get over your Arcee design!!! The colors and shapes are so fun and I keep coming back to look at her!!! Your art is like browsing a candy shop fr ✨

Thank you so much! <3 <3

I think out of the ensemble, she might be the one I'm proudest of :)

[corn-cardigan]

Hihi!! I'm not sure that my ask was sent, so I'm duplicating it justin case

I REEEEALLY loved the way you drew the last pages of castaways!! In content and in technique!!

So if you don't mind sharing one of them:

First page, last panel, with Springer being so done with everyone. He's illuminated a little by a blue-ish light. So I'm qurious how did you do this effect? Did you manually picked this colour or did you use a blending mode?

For all my pages, I colored it using a process that replicates printing!

It's a limited color palette using only four colors (channels) plus black. To get that illuminated effected, I erased parts of the color channels so the blue layer would peak through.

Each channel is set on "multiply" to achieve that translucent effect so that the colors can layer and mix on top of each other. When added together, it results in this:

Hope that answers your question!

[corn-cardigan]

been getting a lot more attention for Castaways AU then I expected (thank you all btw!!! <3<3)! To avoid flooding this account with just material for it, I made a new side blog!

-> @quinoa-quilt <-

I'll still be posting my nicer art and shitposty stuff for the AU here. But supplemental stuff like extra sketches and notes will go to quinoa-quilt.

Thank you again for the ongoing support!!! :D <3 <3

[corn-cardigan]

doomed megop animatic is finally done.

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to complete it. That really, really helped <3 <3 <3. Enjoy! :^)

[random-cockroach]

You. You are another underrated hero of my heart. I've been watching it almost every day waiting to give a full real time commentary Also it mentally was supporting me because there was another person being lost for half a year working on something ahah ->

Imagine immediately pressing a pause button just because of seeing this panel and knowing, this will kill me, the dynamic, the background, the, oh my god I so much love when people draw transformers environment in stuff to give an atmosphere and you just rocked it through the whole animatic ;;-;

THIS? THIS. THIS?!? Who did you sell your soul to for that angle and motion, I will provide you my soul so that you could spare your own. I started kicking my feet in excitement, the music choice is off the charts I was blown away how well you combined all the motions with the sounds

I AM. UNWELL. THIS MOMENT. THE LAUGH. HIS EXPRESSION. THE MUSIC. THE LYRICS WITH THIS. PLEASE.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and then this transition? This underrated transition immediately dropping the mood of the previous happy innocent positive panel???

THIS. THIS IS ANOTHER MOMENT WHERE I PRESSED THE PAUSE. BECAUSE I COULD SENSE IT WILL GET INTENSE AND I MIGHT EXPECT SOME ACTION. I DIED WHEN THE ACTION ACTUALLY STARTED AHAHAHA (Sorry for caps I want to show how much I am actually screaming in the soul)

AGAIN. The background?? To set the motion>??? THE movements, the rotation, the camera, the shooting, the little particles flying off while he runs, the angle, the dynamic

Oh I need this imprinted in my head

THEN the swing and excuse me I am in love with the accuracy of the tech???

And then this chasing scene?! With transformation?! Can I kiss both of your hands??

THIS. The transformation back with ths backflip and angle change, I am fainting

THE LANDING WAS POWERFUL AND I AM BLOWN AWAY WITH IT

The ROTATING FIGHT SCENE THAT GOES PERFECTLY IN BEAT WITH THE MUSIC?!?!??!

I am in love and I will keep rewatching it forever and ever and it feels unreal to be made by the hands of the human being

[corn-cardigan]

Just woke up and my god was not expecting a FULL COMMENTARY and CIDJFJ THANK YOU FOR JUST YOUR THOUGHTS 🥹💓 You picked up on details that I KINDA FORGOT like the particle FX and angles. TBH the angle in that second shot and the first shot in the fight scene PURELY exist so I wouldn't need to track foot contact with the ground lol (if you look at the ground, it obscures their feet HAHA).

Being real for a second, one of the reasons this took soooo long to finish was because I worried that my choices in shots and poses were unrealistic yet uninspired. A "too much and not enough" situation. I couldn't even complete personal animatics for years because I didn't want to disappoint my mentors. I held myself to this impossible standard that everything needed to be portfolio quality and industry standard. But I needed to KEEP shutting that mindset out. Remind myself this was MY PROJECT FOR FUN with TRANSFORMERS YAOI.

So thank you so much <3. Thank you for sharing and letting me know that I at least did a good job 🥹🥹. Especially hearing this from an insanely skilled animator!!! 🫶🫶🫶
