Painting and drawing stuff

[laserdoom]

Haven’t put anything on here in a long time.  So, here are two random characters I drew today.

Spent the last 2 days rigging this character drawing in live2D, then I used Facerig to animate it with my webcam.  I didn’t get around to rigging any blinking, or mouth movements, though I think i’ll do that next.

Map making for RPG Maker with Photoshop - Part 2

Tried to outline a time saving approach here. Turning a small hand painted map into a template for generating much larger maps. more of my work can also be f...

I uploaded a follow up video to go over a method for creating far larger maps without having to do a great deal more work hand painting details all over the place.  Modularity is king here.

Map making with RPG Maker and Photoshop

Questions and comments are welcome. I tried to comment on what I thought were the most relevant parts of the process, but much was left out simply because it...

All done   :)

 Editing was quicker than I thought it would be - I tried to keep the video under 7 minutes so it wouldn’t drag on.

Forest map piece

I worked on a small map for use in RPG maker MV. I recorded a lot of the progress and am working on a tutorial video at the moment - I hope to have that up in a few days on my youtube channel...

Working on cutting up a video tutorial at the moment.  Hope to have it up in a few days on my youtube channel.

more sequential art

Trying some different things here. Changed the style of character art around a bit. Background process was the same as the last page, which worked out very well. I think I might t...

Some recent test art I did, comic layout shit.  Backgrounds were a lot of fun.

Some progress images here.  Random layout stuff, and some rendering of the first frame.  Bits of polish still needed, but i’m about to move onto the next panel.  There will be figures in these panels, but i’m not dealing with that at the moment.

Sequence art

I thought i'd try to mock up a page of sequential art. Just playing around with composing layouts. I guess she's just waiting around in the woods for now. Maybe i'll give her someone to...

Trying to combine my landscape painting stuff with my character drawing interest.  They rarely coincide, but I think I hit upon a nice workflow here.  I may do more of these.

Another Dimension (Expansion)

Detailing an oil painting I did a few months ago with some digital stuff. I changed the composition a bit, added new elements, details, colours, ect. The trees work particularly well I ...

Playing around with a painting from a few months ago.  Feeling a lot better about combining traditional and digital techniques.

I’m torn between Leo and Michelangelo on this.  I think I have to go with Michelangelo.

Timelapse Painting ~ Mushroom Huts

Another study painting where I limited myself to certain colours. I believe I left out all cool colours here. Part of a series of fantasy landscapes recorded...

I’ve uploaded a few new timelapse painting videos to my youtube channel over the last week or so.  Check them out if this sort of thing is interesting to ya.  I’ve been trying to record short music loops for each video.

Tried playing around with Opentoonz today.  Did a quick animation to get used to some of the basics.

Worked a bit on a cityscape today on my twitch stream.  I’m going to work on the character after i’ve done the background, so for now she’s pretty rough.  Got some use out of some recent acrylic paintings I did, they were very useful in texturing the scene.  Wondering about drawing in some floating vehicles now.

I’ve been watching a lot of anime this week.  Made me want to paint some plants.  Many of these sketches will probably find their way into future digital paintings in some form or other.

Started a portrait today - got surprisingly far after 5 hours!  I’ll hopefully finish it tomorrow on stream.  A number of anatomical quirks I need to fix, as well as some rendering stuffs.  Also the shirt is very unfinished.

So i’ve been doing some closer studies of dirt and rock textures to build my visual library.  Here are three i’ve done over the last few days based on some photos I took in a walk around a park near Toronto.  More of these to come I suspect.
