Galactic Baseballer: ">:3"🦝
Incredibly stupid doodle based on that one part of the Deliverance trailer
Despite calling themselves the galactic baseballler every chance they get, I doubt the trailblazer actually knows how to play baseball
Like. I don't think they know there's more to it than just hitting things violently with a bat

I was working on another piece but I was really struggling with the background; I couldn't seem to get anything right. In a bout of frustration, I started sketching random poses, and the end result was this pose shown by Stelle. I really connected with this one, my workflow was very harmonious and I was able to easily jump from finalizing the sketch to applying shading and light. The legs were the easiest part of this process; mentally, they stuck out the most to me. They are in the foreground and occupy half of the pose, so I guess this probably why.
In spite of that, I did struggle with some parts. My struggle with shading and detailing hair has now been overcome and replaced with leather, I am not a big fan of how light reflects and scatters across it. I personally find my execution quite unsatisfactory, but frankly, I don't have the braincells to bother fixing it. I'm also unhappy with the eyes, they look like a cross between real-life eyes and more stylized, anime eyes. Combined, I think this creates an uncanny appearance to Stelle; she looks like she is only half-awake. Two more items to put on my to-learn list, I guess.
The mental image of firefly staring up to see the shadow of a baseball bat over her struck me one day. I flew to the computer and made the second image. I have no other words to speak about for that thing.
Overall, it was a week and a half from start to finish, actually only a week if I don't count rest days. I think I was really able to expand on what I learnt in my previous work, so even though there are obvious flaws, I would consider this a success.
