For some reason as soon as I went to title this one on another site, the chorus from "Spoonman" by Soundgarden popped up,, XDD
Somewhat fitting, I guess! It'd probably be something he listens to now and again,, :]c
Anyway!!! Got the thought to doodle him, try to work out designs for his wings!! It's been built off of the last time I drew his wings; for these, I'm thinking of having the fingers for the wings extend off of his second through fifth proximal phalanges; muscles running through both! With this, the wing's "hand" can curl and grip somewhat separately from the wing itself!
And then their shape - they'd be elliptical! This wing shape (at least, among birds) provides for maneuverability in tight spaces. I thought it'd be fun, considering much of what we see in-game (still haven't decided on a name for their world; am open to suggestions). His wings would lend themselves better to dodging projectiles than long distances (though, I have a possible solution for that,, >:]c ).
Now - trying to do the patterns?? ough. My fucking detested. Only because!! I have not designed his mother's wings!! so I don't know how I want his to look!!! Hence, this is subject to change in the future (though I have entirely considered having this patterns as a sorta "juvenile" pattern that he grows out of later on; makes for a good excuse)! My first attempt to pattern him came out like peacock feathers,, XDD Just tiny eyes dotted all about the membranes!
Also, his tail; not sure whether I'm convinced to keep it that long... The sketch originally had it longer, but I didn't imagine him vibing all too much with so much whip in his tail, nor the implication of how thick it was starting off as... Part of me feels he'd be better with a shorter, blunter tail, but I can't help itttt, I'm a sucker for long prehensile ones!! Agh, who knows how it'll end up!
There's also his spiracles; a small detail, but I wanted to add them in! Wasn't able to get too good of a look off of the basic internet searches to determine their shape and size fr, so I just "fuck it, we ball"'d the things,, :] d
Anyway. I also drew this to sorta show what my messy sketchy comms would look like! realized belatedly that I didn't have much by way of examples for it, and thought this would make a good one. Most notable is the messy lineart; it's still readable, but weight is inconsistent in plenty places, and not all the lines close in a reasonable place, if at all!
But yeah. The him!! :D d
alt text under the break!!
A messily sketched fullbody of Eddie Riggs, mid-flight in his demonic form and looking off to canvas/camera left with a murmured "oh, shit -". He looks somewhat surprised, though mostly like he's trying to avoid confrontation, and is wearing dark blue jeans and his signature shoes while wielding his mother's axe, The Separator.
“Ah man, don’t tell me I've been killing hot chicks this whole time”
About 45-50 (I forgot my timer) sketch/paint of Eddie Riggs from Brütal Legend! Busted out my paint markers to get ready for artfight and hopefully keep off art block. I'll probably do a paint of a postal dude too soon. Painting was fun.
Apologies for lackluster tagging on my part, my most metal of friends! I'll be going through posts over the next few weeks, working on tagging them properly.
[Having a Brütal Legend fixation over the years always comes with such whiplash.
On one hand, I always learn something new...Like, how there's an official art book with stuff I've never seen. Concept art and lore bits, all kinds of goodies I love to go over and work on for creative exploration.
And at the same time...that book was a limited-edition print run with only 500 copies made; that once-$50 book is now a highly sought-after collector's item, and when you are lucky enough to find someone willing to sell it, it'll cost as much as a mortgage.]
{Even the man who made the book is amazed by these prices. Clearly, there's a demand for the book, and IT SHOULD BE REPRINTED! Till it does, fans that hunt for the book will continue to see things like this.}
Me *with bills, responsibilities, trying to get a new place, and very limited play-around money*
I can't pass the level when i need to defend the bus from monkey demon bikers! Help! i put easier game but i am terrible on driving and use the weapon! Some advice?
