The Art Stuff of JLZeta

Saw a tutorial on how to paint bubbles and realised I've never actually tried painting bubbles, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Seemed to turn out pretty alright, right?

Wanted to make one of those classic anime pre-credits freeze frames, and I've been meaning to do a Polka fanart since she debuted, so here it is

(The timing of me finishing this right after the Forza 6 wave hit Hololive is a complete coincidence, but hey, I'll take it)

So I tried making an animation in CSP back in…..oof, 2023? But I don't have CSP Pro so I only get 1s of animation (which is not a lot), and I mostly learned that animation is pain, so I eventually gave up and turned it into a pinup

Anyway, I just noticed I never actually uploaded either version anywhere, soooooooo better late than never?

Why download 5234810 Clip Studio Paint brushes if you're not gonna use 'em, amirite?

Velvet dropped while I was already painting another pink-haired girl for Valentine's, so I figured IT'S A SIGN and here we are

Would you answer her call?

Facial expression practice; specifically, I was trying to figure out how to do the lip bite thing. Making the UI was actually kind of fun and gave me a good excuse to try out the alignment tools in CSP, so overall I'm pretty happy with this one (for now)

Found a pose sketch while looking for references for a different piece I'm working on and figured "hey, I bet I can do a quick thing with this", and I've done a few Mai pieces but not Mary soooooo yeah (I'm more of a Capcom fan though..)

"Out of season"? Bah! It's summer somewhere in the world! Practicing different body types, so I figured I'd do an Anise fanart for funsies

Anatomy study with photo ref. I actually considered slapping a pretentious French-ish ad copy on top of it to make it look like a perfume or jewellery ad or something, but naaaaaaahhh

[jlzeta-art]

I AIN'TN'T DEAD

I have, however, died many times

And again when trying to figure out how to make flapping cloth. WELP

Sagat's been out for awhile now, but my impression of him hasn't changed from the trailer

[jlzeta-art]

More pixel art learning/exercises; this time, it's a night sky scene. Turns out sparklies are complicated, who knew?

[jlzeta-art]

(Flashing Lights Warning)

So apparently tumblr does indeed accept animated .gifs. WELL THEN

More experiments in pixel art and animation, now with extra stormy weather effects because why not

[jlzeta-art]

Alright, let's see if this actually works. Finally got around to trying to teach myself to do pixel art animations, but apparently all the major social sites hate .gifs now? Time to find out if tumblr is the exception

[jlzeta-art]

Beeg Cat means Beeg.....kimono. Trying out a new process with less lineart, thought I'd go with some fanservice because why not, right?

[jlzeta-art]

New year, new swo-errr, sake bottle. It still counts as New Year's as long as the sakura are still falling, right?

(also congrats to Scarlet on hitting #5 in this year's popularity poll)

[jlzeta-art]

Is she still terrorising the SF6 ranked matches? Well either way; trying out a new approach to painting, we'll see if it sticks
