[pxlhorror]

These are various character exploration pieces I’ve been working on lately. <3

I posted these on Instagram and lots of people have asked can they use these as references - the answer is yes but if you use them please remember to credit me and please no direct tracing. 

Also please do not re-post my art, re-blogs are always appreciated though <3

HELLO YOU ARE A SAINT

[keycrash]

apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist

it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile

here’s an example:

normal size

2x in paint

2x in waifu2x

so like, there’s that. go wild

Original:

Photoshop scaled:

Waifu2x scaled:

It’s legit!! Tell your friends!

[information-hunter-sky]

waifu2x-multi is the newer version. It allows for rescaling multiple pictures at a time and to scale them up to 10x the original size. 

[managurken]

Photoshop is not that bad, you just have to use some settings when you scale.

I hope its alright that I used the picture you used as an example @jake-clark.

I used the following settings in photoshop cc:

(Remember the “Resample” option, that is the important part)

And I got the following result on the left. Your scaled pic is to the right.

The lines is a bit heavier with waifux2, but the lines look more natural in the photoshop pic. It is a bit clearer zoomed in.

The pixelation is present in both, I don’t think you can get totally rid of it. But the noise is practically the same in both. Waifux2 is a bit too rough for my personally taste, but it could be easier to work with it that way.

It all depends on what you personally want/like in the end, ofc :)

oh hey new guide thinggg~ some basics on how to practice! there’s SO much I could add to this, so it’s just the basics :O

short (kind of): there’s more to practice than doing something repeatedly, it’s also learning new things, problem solving, and honest critique. Each of those is its own skill…also be nice to yourself!

i've made it a point to redraw Madotsuki at least once a year bc she's one of my favorite characters in all of fiction and i would die for her. 💕

[pxlhorror]

hey, im not dead, woo! anyways, here's a Mina i finished about a month ago.

an introduction card for my funky lil’ lesbian child

[pxlhorror]

Aaaand it’s done! I’ve never been good at this kind of shading, but I guess it turned out alright.

[pxlhorror]

Again, I’m so sorry for being so absent lately! Life has still been pretty hectic. ;u; Anyways, here’s a very rough Madotsuki scribble. A full color version is in the works, but I thought I'd post something since I haven't shared any of my work in a while.

I’m really sorry for being so inactive lately! I’ve had a lot going on in my personal life and it’s kind of put me in a bit of a creative burnout. I’m doing my best to get out of it, so hopefully I’ll get back to working on art soon.

Another thing I wanted to ask: should I start taking free art requests on here? My skills aren’t anywhere near good enough for me to feel comfortable taking commissions, but I don’t have many ideas for my artwork and it’d help me practice a lot. I’m just really anxious and afraid of me drawing something for someone just to have them totally hate it, y’know? So yeah, I’d really appreciate some advice or thoughts on the matter.

This is Mina Davis, she’s 14 years old and she likes pastel colors, Italian food, space, and flowers. Also, she's a serial killer, so there's that too. Not sure what I plan to do with her yet, but I'll think of something. :P
