There was a bit of an oopsie
extra shot and artist notes below!!!
This took about like 10 hours over 3 days?
Would've been faster if I just like, focused entirely on it. I did most of the work while on call with some friends on discord, so kinda took wayyyy longer than it should've either way! Very fun piece to do The under shading was super interesting since I haven't done that too much and the Herself ghost was SUUUUPER fun Will post sketches and progress shots in a reblog at some point probably tomorrow
don't hold me to that-
Some art nerd ramblings for this piece Not gonna tag cause I don't really need to flood the tag with my in progress shots
So if you wanna hear about how I did some things for this/just wanna read what I was thinking when I made it, then keep reading
If not, I hope you have a lovely day! <3
Original sketch page where I just kinda fucked around with the idea of ghostie girl being visible and trying to talk to him when it happened
I loved the idea of her tail ending in a heart shape, but it was kinda hard to tell here that that was the idea also, Silly Billy's body is not at ALL accurate really rough stuff lol, but that's what you get from a doodle page
Then some refined sketches for both Yourself and Herself, then the lineart for the Silliest of Billies
Silly Billy was really easy to get done minus the shirt wrinkles I genuinely had a hard time really conceptualizing them. I like, grabbed my shirt multiple times while getting them done They're real rough and basic in the sketches and I did most of the work during lining I don't think they're THE BEST or even really ACCURATE But I think they still get the point across Billy got the fuckin TIGHTEST GRIP on his shirt rn and he is not a happy puppy
Ghost Herself was real fun!
It's way easier to see the heart tail here than it was in the original sketch I wanted to make her lineless to give her a more etherial sort of feel? At least, a feel that she's not on the same plane of existence as Youself cause She ain't anymore With the change of Yourself's pose, it does mean I had to get rid of how her tail pointed towards the microphone, but wrapping it around his leg still gets the point across that she's bound to him Least I think it does- The first pose didn't really make me happy and it was on call with those discord friends I asked for help and one of them suggested I do the wrapping around Yourself and it worked SUPER good
As for Herself's colors, I kinda just, layered a nice blue on top of a pink and a red with some different layer properties on each lol The tail fading out was just taking an airbrush as an eraser and going very carefully around the tail
Then, just some goofy lookin shots that make me go "Man. Digital art is weird." Blushing is my favorite part, but I had to do it in a color other than red because of Billy's purple complexion, which meant I just fucked around in the pinkish purpleish area until I found one that looked good with the corrected layer filter on
Also The tears Thank you ISAT for having the most beautiful tears that are super easy to draw once you get them right Maybe should've changed the colors to actually have colors but they still work well either way
And finally The start of the shading I didn't take any progress shots while shading because it was honestly a bit oddly straight forward Didn't take me as long as I thought it would Just erasing the color from where I thought the light would hit from when considering it being from below It was a bit harder than my usual shading of course, getting it to look a'ight, but I think it turned out super well in the final piece Fits the whole feel of the drawing perfectly
Overall! Very fun piece to make And doing sort of overview of the piece after completion actually is really fun Probably not the best description of the process or anything but like, still Makes me happy to just spout out ideas even if not many people are gonna actually read it Should do this whenever I do finish a piece from now on would say I would go back to the others I have finished and do it there but I won't Maybe for shadow milk but that's just cause I like him hehe Either way! Hit Single is a fuck ass mod and it inspired me a great fuckin deal hehe Thank you for reading all this!
Have a glorious day~<3
