i keep saying this every year but i hope i get to do more next year LMAOOOO . although this year i made twice as many attacks as usual so thats a good start :333 i have so many val ocs in my bookmarks . none of you are safe look out <3
hello guys im so excited to present nuniqs new headshot :33333 i feel like i nailed the val art style a lot better this time around and it shows how i envision her much better . im so happy i love making progress as an artist YAYYYYYY
uncropped + wip shots under readmore:
hallo welcome to floof wips. im gonna roughly explain my process here HEHE
so start with a grayscale base . i kinda cheated here because i used her 3d model but usually ur gonna want to just block out the basic values and make sure everything is distinct and contrasts well or else it gets all muddy and blends into eachother.
after that i drop the skin color over it since thats the most important thing to be rendered rn. dont worry about the other details since we'll get to them later .
at this stage i would paint over everything on another layer to fix the hues since the color layer doesnt get everything correctly . from here i referenced the other val portraits to get the right shade of lineart etc
in this shot you can see i painted over the hair because i didnt like how it was looking :33 thats fine, its an okay thing to do, sometimes u have to kill the "already good" parts of your painting to fix some underlying issues . for example i wanted there to be more gaps in her bangs so i scrapped the hair and painted her forehead in
something i realized with the valorant art style is that, the less you blend the better actually . the icon started looking more "valorant" the second i ditched the blending tool and just started picking local colors and blocking them in. it took a way a lot of the muddiness and moved it towards the more graphic art style val has. youll noticed i also shifted the hair towards a more purple hue instead of a brown one :33 i didnt use adjustment layers or blending modes, i just used my glaze brush with a bluish color until it looked right-- then i painted over it Again to fix the values while staying in that hue
anyway i hope this helps somehow !!!! always reference and think of things in 3d . something something closing statement . YAY
ok guys i couldnt contain my excitement anymore i HAD to share a wip on here TEEHEEEE
if you havent seen me giggling abt it on discord . ive been modeling nuniq for the last term for my 3dmod subject . currently im doing the work of texturing her in substance painter so its a little flat rn but im just blocking out her basic colors HEEHEE . this whole process has been so much fun (and painful . ask stars she cleaned up some of my uvs she would know) but its definitely worth it and ive been excited to do this since the start of the term
for anyone curious, this is how her base mesh looks like! modeled in autodesk maya :33
thats all i can reveal for now ..... since its term break i really wanna try and finish this just for myself so !! yeah!!
she will be unveiled soon.........
no idea whats up w this twink but smth about him makes me want to draw him like . a lot . anyway was listening to his playlist while doing this and it sounded like the background of a how to earn free robux fast video . it was wonderful
also if youre wondering why hes wearing a crop top : im going to hardlaunch my (and stars') heavily headcanoned version of miks bc he needs to look MORE like a rave dj in our opinny . more piercings more glowsticks . HEADPHONES for gods sake . shit like that
a super rough velvetfang doodle since i havent drawn them in a while and i miss their messiness . wanted to try showing their universe's styles in this one
paloma dump!!! got to work on her and her worldbuilding a ton for school assignments. had a lot of fun with moodboards and research and getting her universe's style down :33
this is a bit of a soft redesign in a way? some of the stuff in character exploration really stuck so expect to see more of her velvet mite elements in her spider velvet costume
