Vin illustration for the Mistborn Deckbuilding Game!

So, it seems I get to share this one a bit earlier than expected since it was shown at Dragonsteel 2023 last week! Stormlight and Mistborn (and the Cosmere as a whole) are some of my favourite stories of all time so it's been incredible (and very surreal) getting to work on both this and the Stormlight Archive RPG. Huge thank you to Johnny O'Neal and Brotherwise Games for the opportunity!

Listen, I’m a control freak. I can only handle chaos if it’s contained within tightly confined boundaries. That’s why freehand selection is more than just a tool, it’s a lifestyle 😤

Ahhhh, your art is so pretty!!! I can't stop looking at it. What kind of brushes do you use?

Thank you!!.

I use clip studio paint for drawing.

I have 3 main brushes. Only one is an external asset. The 2 are default from CSP

1. Real G-pen - I use it for lineart, drawing hair, adding details and highlights. I tweaked it a little to my liking but its the default brush.

2. SU-CREAM Pencil - This is downloadable and easy to find its one of the most popular free asset in CSP ! I use it to block colors, generally when i draw backgrounds, i do not draw the lineart i just draw blocky shapes using this . And its pretty great on adding textures too, like trees, foliage etc .

3. Marker - default from CSP as the "Flat Marker" tool but i changed the shape and made it round by tweaking the settings of the brush shape. I also changed the settings on the opacity to be linear.

I use it for literally everything. I use it to shade and blend colors since i dont use the blend tool a lot.

I can easily control the intensity of the color when i changed the opacity setting to be linear helps a lot when coloring . I let the shading color pass through the base once and colorpic the resulting color.

Also this is an old drawing, but my coloring process is the same. I hope this helps!

First off thanks!!! I tried to make a tutorial but it ended up extremely vague and more of a step-by-step of a headshot i drew today for this purpose whoops;;;

This is one layer but If it’s a complicated drawing then i’ll draw it out and line it with a thin brush with no pressure sensitivity, and then bucket fill the shapes on separate layers, usually 1 layer per character and one layer for the bg.

I also might do color adjustment layers and merge them down as I go but I got lucky this time and didn’t have to make any adjustments. 

I work on one layer but every 30 minutes or before I begin a new stage (hair, the eyes) I’ll duplicate that layer and paint on the topmost one. This way I can check to see if I over-rendered by hiding the top layer. If i over-render or mess something up, then I have that back-up layer that I can go back to and start that part again. 

Some additional things:

lost edges are where the edge of a shape bleeds into the other without any visible separation between the two. If you don’t need an edge consider getting rid of it for a more painterly look

The very very darkest shadows on skin are almost always warm. Even if the light source is cool, the nostril will be a warmer color than the rest of the skin.

warm light: cool shadows

cool light: warm shadows

Vary the hue here and there with little flecks of bright colors that harmonize with the local color of the object to make things pop

If the background is dark, draw a very thin orange or dark pinkish line where the skin meets the bg. This is called a corona and will make the skin look like it’s glowing

you don’t need to use pure black AND pure white in the same image every single time

The eye is drawn to hard edges, so use them where it counts!! 

Read Richard Schmidt’s Alla Prima for more of this kind of stuff. I got most of these ideas from that book 

and proko’s youtube channel

ps that’s makoto 

That’s all I can think of right now!!
