Short thread on how to do minimal work on shading and line art that makes your art 1000 times better

sorry if this is confusing, ask and I’ll try to clarify

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!

Update 1.28.2024

Highkey forgot about this account but I've been continuously working on this story so some updates?

To explain the hiatus: I've been making YouTube videos instead. Moving on.

So! On top of the Storyboard Posterboard™, the google doc has been created. 9 pages long and we've barely gotten through the introduction. It's fun, it's taxing, I'm content wasting my time with this project.

Biggest issue so far has been figuring out which medium of media this would be. In the beginning, I considered it being a choose-your-own-adventure video game. Similar to Life is Strange, Detroit: Become Human, the Walking Dead games, and so on.

I don't know how to make a video game, though. So if I want to put out my ideas sooner rather than later, video games is a no-go.

Although TPAH would make a great animated television series, like Vivienne's Helluva Boss, or movie series (I loathe trilogies, but, you know, Rule of Threes and all). But that would, again, be a later rather than sooner scenario.

Thus I've landed on webcomic. The only issue would be getting through the periodic months-long art blocks I have, but sketches are better than nothing.

Oh Pestilence, we're really in it now.

Here's a sneak peek snippet of a comic page with huge spoilers <3

wip!

Iya "Sloth" Lotus and Acid "Greed" Lotus, the oldest and presumably youngest of the monarchical line in the Lust circle. Both are good shots, and Acid makes/steals all their artillery.
