Finally working on a new angry adopt after a long time not touching my adopts. I lost all my materials since I had to format my pc, so I will be making them in this new format / new shading as well.

attack for snowdroprd on artfight!

process and talkies under the cut

e: do us both a favor and view in full, prev is rly crunchy

lately i've been challenging myself with rendering full scenes because i've never really been one to finish art like this. im pretty pleased with the contrast in the scene! when i finished my first pass of rendering and changed it to grayscale, the canvas looked like this:

fairly clear, but definitely some room to exaggerate values. squinting i can't really make out the form. so I went in with good old #FFFFFF and #000000 to bring the subject to the foreground:

and after going through with some additional tweaks (dodge and burn layers plus shimmying the contrast and lightness around), the final piece in grayscale looks like this:

certainly not perfect but an improvement to the composition yipeepee

i also used a blur + color dodge dupe layer for the lineart, slight blur on the bg and distant parts of the subject (couldn't help myself), and an overlay to give the shadows some nice hues yayyy

I desperately have the desire to draw but the heat makes it hard to have motivation. This is a 30 minute sketch to wind down the night after getting frustrated with a different composition I scrapped (completely unrelated to this drawing). If there's something I can count on it's Pidge being the source of a stress free drawing.

Flight Rising sketches because these color schemes are always a mood and they never fail to make me happy :D

Going back through to deliver all the lapsed promises I can. This is Yamato!

Shaking off the dust of my pixel art skills. Pixel art is my heart and soul, but I have to avoid it because it is a blackhole for a recovering perfectionist trying to move PAST obsessing over details. But I love making pixel art so much!!!!!!! Since this dragon's owner had been requesting a pixel piece back in the day, I had an excuse!

Being the first pixel piece I have done in YEARS, this isn't perfect, but it was soooooooooo much fun!!
