Hey, you're pretty good with skin tones in your Kamen Rider art. I've become interested in making a more comprehensive collection of skin tone swatches for Kamen Rider characters(a user made one with showa riders but has a lot of folks blocked which limits the usefulness of their post as a resource), so I wanted to ask if you have any images you tend to use as refs for that sort of thing.
No pressure! and have a good day(also I want you to know I always think about this piece https://www.tumblr.com/mrdinoart/808503148254822400)
Hi! Aaah thank you, very happy to know I'm doing a good job :] (ALSO VERY GIDDY YOU MENTIONED THAT PIECE JIJIJI it also lives rent free in my head tbh)
I only occasionally use references funny enough, mostly from magazine scans, promo photos and more rarely direct screenshots from lower quality raws cause it's what I have on my drive ahsjsjdjskdks.
These are some I have in fact used as refs though
(I surprisingly don't have that many V3 ones and instead use a bunch of Zubat ahdjsjd, and on the opposite side I have like... 30 Jin Keisuke photos...)
I don't exactly color pick, I try to manually get to something close and then move to even more warmer and darker tones+saturating it more, mostly to compensate how desaturated my colors look once I go from tablet to pc, so they don't end up looking just like the refs OTL
But yeah! Those are some I've used :] hope you have a neat day too! And let me know if there's more I can do to help, I think having a gallery of skin tone refs for Rider is a great idea ✨
