Tolerance is in the air

Hey! I hope you don’t mind me asking. I’ve been noticing some differences in art style between your pieces, especially the recent Bruce one. The lighting and shading felt a bit different from your usual work, so I got curious about your process. Would you ever consider sharing a speedpaint or WIP? Thx! :)

Henlo! Ok so this is kinda embarrassing cause I was telling my frend how my style is so inconsistent lmao help

Well so yeah I’m still kinda experimenting with stuff, so it’s mostly random bullshit go lol. No specific process. However, I tried explaining how I usually go with my more detailed art, so sorry if this is long and unhelpful dndfvijnfdbijnsh

So it usually goes like this:

A semi detailed sketch which I lower the opacity of and start by filling the base colour in place.

I then add a layer to determine what hues I’ll be working with.

The main step is to fill in the darkest and lightest areas to give me a base and range limit for my values.

I work randomly so sometimes I start working on the lips, sometimes hair and eyes just to feel that i’m making progress instead of just shading the whole skin part.

I mostly work on the same layer and start layering paint on it until it feels right, and when I feel like the values aren’t how I want (like some darker parts are lighter than the should be) I add a shadow layer (multiply mode, low opacity) to fix the values and to make all the parts feel connected (like face and torso will have colours that make them as one body rather than seperate parts)

I also add line art that fixes loose ties where it looks disconnected.

The hair part is honestly the hardest cause I still haven’t gotten a grip on it. I mostly fill colours randomly where it feels right. Mostly dark at the roots and light at the highest pt.

One side darker than the other.

Clothes are usually two values.

Shadow and light mostly is experiments with layer modes.

I fill large blocks of shadow first and then light. Here I used multiply for shadow and soft light for light, but you could use various different modes depending on what you want.

Now for b&w, it’s way easier cause your colours are limited (only values).

Mostly filling in darkest areas and then start working from dark to light.

I first block in main shapes though.

I hope this helped idk bro, I’m kinda bad at this 👉🏻👈🏻

in honour of being promoted to Deputy Stage Manager in my school's theatre department, top gun high school/sixth form au:

Dr Kazansky rules the drama department with an iron fist. always wearing black turtlenecks. never seen without his glasses, his coffee, and his terrifying glare (which earned him the moniker Dr Iceman). do not show up to rehearsals if you don't know your lines. death be upon the poor students who fuck around during tech and dress, because they will find out. he loves the crew tho.

Mr Call-Me-Mav Mitchell is the head of sports. you name it, he's played it, and he could absolutely give you pointers, also, do you want a protein bar with that? it's chocolate flavoured :) even the kids who Hate (capital H) sports love him. he is sunshine and adrenaline in human form. endless energy. no one knows why he is called maverick, but even the principal does it, so.

Mr Kerner is the principal. he is also the only person who can interrupt rehearsals and survive. dr kazansky loves him. inexplicably, maverick hates him. nough said.

Jake Seresin is the school's golden child, not even because he's Kazansky's nephew. he’s head boy. he’s on the school’s football/rugby team. he writes regular articles for the internal magazines. and this year, he’s playing Orpheus in the school’s production of Hadestown. everyone thinks it’s nepotism. it is and it’s not, jake just lost a bet to his Uncle Tom, and must now reap the consequences to said uncle’s delight.

Bradley Bradshaw has been stage crew since he was thirteen and an overworked runner, thank you very much. it’s his final show, he’s the DSM, and if fucking seresin ruins this for him, he will riot. dr kazansky should never let that happen. however, this is the same man who, last year, laughed when revealing that a screen on stage had turned off and bradley had to go on stage during the show to fix it. hm. maybe bradley should have re-thought his life choices. also: the turntable. the goddamn turntable.

other characters include: phoenix as eurydice, bob doing lighting, payback and fanboy as ASMs who flirt over the comms to everyones misery, cyclone as another drama teacher/stage manager,

maverick keeps turning up to rehearsals and trying to help because his favourite (cough only cough) godson and his favourite player are both interested in this stuff, so he should at least try, right? kazansky hates it until he doesn’t. kerner thinks it’s all fucking hilarious. bradley is embarrassed but its kinda endearing do NOT tell him i said that.

kazansky and maverick both bare witness to A Moment between their respective pseudo sons and decide the two simply must get together for their sakes and also so they never inflict that on another person ever.

bradley and jake both bare witness to A Moment between their respective pseudo fathers and decide the two simply must get together for their sakes and also so they never inflict that on another person ever.

kerner is cackling. Cackling.

The most stress I’ve ever felt was when my raid team and I were on Gahlran’s damage phase and for some reason my copy of Ratattouie opened and the fucking “unauthorized reproduction of this work is illegal” screen completely dominated my monitor and covered destiny and it took a solid 4 second to tab back in and I had fucking Ratattouie just haunting me in the background, because I never had an oportunity to close it admidst the chaos

I actually went to the Hollywood sign lol.
