Found an old 3D setup of a bathroom I never did anything with - and I've been in a weird kind of headspace where I just want to sit down and do repetitive work, so what better than meticulously lining a bunch of bathroom tiles!
Borrowing the incredible clown fish merman Stiles design by @faevorite-main-blog featured in It’s A-Boat Time! ♡
I think Derek would be fascinated by another shapeshifter hehe
(A lot of) progress shots under the cut for those interested:
The original 3D model and sketch are from 2019 I think, intended as a promare fanart:
Moved things around a bit and changed the poses (originally i was going to have lio putting bandages on his feet and couldn't really find a good reason for a similar pose for derek). Also added a mirrored setup in case i wanted an angle where the reflection in the mirror would be showing:
Sketched over some pose references for stiles (bc the 3D models i'm using clip and deform whenever the arms are moved up over shoulder-height 🤨), a pose idea i ended up scrapping and sketches from two different angles of the 3D model to figure out which one i wanted to go with:
(Actually now I'm looking at these again i'm mad i didn't go for the bottom right one, i really like it argh. Scheduling this post on friday let's see if i don't end up doing something with it before then and add to this post LOL)
Anyway, settled on an angle > sketching out the background:
2nd round of sketching - refining the background and characters (and a nightmare-looking grid for the bathroom tiles) :
Lines > remembering that I should probably decide on a crop at some point > redo the crop later anyway (and fixing Derek's back after heroically trying not to for hours lol) > monochrome shading of the background > coloring the characters last since I wanted the colors here to fit the background
Thought it'd be an interesting process to share :)
Sometimes I will have a very clear visual of what i want to draw and get straight to it, but most of the time I find it fun to recreate the pose and environment i have in mind in my 3D program and try to figure out if there's a more interesting angle to draw it from.
Usually I'll take a few screenshots from different angles and sketch over them - usually going a few rounds of sketching > going back and altering the 3D model a bit > new screenshot > new sketch.
Palestinian children were prevented from going to school by razor wire and israeli soldiers — so they sat down and studied right in front of them (via AndreyX)
I think it’s funny how Mormon God was like “look polygamy is super important and I am telling you my followers to practice it even in the face of persecution” and then 40 years later Congress said Utah wouldn’t be given statehood as long as the LDS practiced polygamy and Mormon God was like “Ok tell everyone I changed my mind”
Never getting over Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat right after he uses it to downplay gun violence. Gotta be a top 3 assassination. Up there with Shinzo getting doohickey'd.
It's on some straight up Greek play shit. Man who uses his voice to justify violence and stir evil for years meets his end as that very violence tears out his throat. Poetic. Captured live from multiple angles. People stole his blood soaked merch to hock and his wife was giddy about sale numbers during his funeral.
