ink 'n' pixels

Hi! I'm Mahamari. I'll be mostly posting my artwork to this feed. Thanks for visiting!

[mahamari]

I cannot tell you how excited I am about Bloodstained. I’m a lifelong Castlevania/Igavania fan and have been wanting to draw Miriam since the Kickstarter but just haven’t had the time. (I really don’t draw at all these days because I’m just too busy. T_T)

Pencil sketch on paper, inked in Corel Painter 12, colored in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Lost track of how long I spent on this - about 4.5 hours or coloring today and some scattered hours across two other days.

This is the white/uncursed version of Miriam, based on this concept art. I debated between this one and the in-game cursed version, but I decided to go with the uncursed version because the pose is too relaxed.

Pose reference: thank you, Athleta

I Emofuri'd Rutile, my sister's adorable Mechari medic in WildStar. :] I made it to cheer her up while she recovers from surgery.

It was pretty interesting experimenting with a non-human face (also, 3/4 view) and rigging it up so it didn't look too freakish. xD It's actually still pretty freaky with most of the sample animation loops. Idle looked best. I'll have to mess around with the animations again when I do another more humanoid one.

Sorry for the small GIF again. Upload limits are poopy like that.

[mahamari]

First attempt at using Emofuri, using a doodle of my Wildstar Aurin, Neeps, as a test subject. Had to make it really small to upload to tumblr, but, yay, it works! It took me two days to figure out how to do this. or2

I'm still a total n00b and don't know how to make my own animations yet, so I just used one of the sample parameters. If you have any helpful Emofuri tips or have any tutorials to recommend, please drop me a line!

Painter 12 & Photoshop CS5.1. Took me about 3 days. Commissioned by Elrom.

I’ve had people insist that I used 3d an photos, despite my assertion that I haven’t. You can see the thread here http://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/2ag3ku/this_is_a_painting_iron_man_by_ryan_lang/ But this isn’t for them. This is for people that like to see the process of an illustration. I tried to break it down, but if there are any questions, please ask. I have no problem with artists using photos or 3d in their digital work, so when I say I didn’t use photos or 3d for this image, it was that I wanted to see what I could accomplish on my own (with a couple of filters at the end). And if after this process post people still refuse to believe that I didn’t use photos or 3d….. I will take that as a compliment.

These process shots are a precious gift. Super informative!

[mahamari]

Reblogging this because I love seeing how other people work - and also because people have insisted I used photos for infinitely less amazing illustrations.

[mahamari]

Super quickie, right-before-bed Painter scribble of my WildStar Aurin spellslinger scientist, Neeps. :]

...Yeah, she's named after the Scottish food. xD Didn't think I'd be playing Aurin, but I went with the first randomly generated character WildStar gave me, and I think they're growing on me. <3

I'll draw a better one later.
