intro

hi hello this is the sketch and mature side blog of @epiicaricacy-arts. the same BYF from that blog applies here!!

this blog will not have explicit content. the content here will just be more mature than my normal blog, meaning more suggestive works but it will not go further than that. this is NOT an NSFW blog

i will not be going through and monitoring every account that interacts with me, i can only ask that people be responsible online.

thank you!!

hold your head high, stand proud / keep your head down, power through

hiii i finally had the motivation to draw something non-project related and i got into date everything :3C i love these boys so much their story really gets to me. i wanted to do a cool poster for them that i can hopefully put onto my wall

alternate versions + individual parts down below as well as the process discussion as always!

volt

eddie

figuring out how i was gonna execute this idea was interesting. i’m also a photographer, so i knew how to execute this with pictures but not with an illustration. what i ended up doing was just doing the base layers in black and white values and adding colour on top, then bringing the file into photopea (an online free version of photoshop!!!) so i could separate the RBG values. it took a lot of messing around to get the look that i wanted — you can see in eddie’s separate layers that there’s a section of volt’s drawing within it. that’s how i made sure the red part would stay where i wanted while the rest of volt’s silhouette would be blue (the select pixels tool is a huge favourite of mine ✌️)

the textures are from studio AAA! the ones i used are all free, but i downloaded them a bit ago before they did some store cleanup or whatever so idk if they’re still up. the ones i used are the VHS and printer trash textures but if anyone wants i can just dm them the jpgs!

more into the story of this piece - i thought a duo tone overlay portrait artwork would connect to this idea i’ve been seeing that “volt can live without eddie, but eddie can’t live without volt.“ i wanted to show that through the way their layers are overlayed on each other. eddie is nearly entirely encapsulated by volts silhouette, but volt extends beyond eddie’s silhouette. he’s the face of the breaker box while eddie works away, at the back. they’re inseparable and complete each other. i always thought that part of their story was so beautiful and i really love how it’s portrayed. eddie does need volt but it’s not shown in a way that makes eddie seem weak or entirely dependant on volt…. i’d write more about them but it’s late and i have plans tomorrow whoopsiesss

all in all making this was pretty fun. i knew i just wanted to do portraits of them as my first actual illustration after so many projects so i did just that!! the first few times ive drawn them as warmup ive always had the hardest time with volt and not eddie, but this time that changed and drawing volt was so easy and i couldn’t draw eddie for the life of me 😭 idk if any other artists have this problem with them where one is hard to draw and the other is easy…. i just can’t figure out eddie’s hair for the life of me </3 but oh well!!! if you made it this far, thank you so much!! i hope you like my work!!

forgot to add the original volt portrait because i actually ended up really liking how it turned out. i unfortunately can’t say the same for eddie’s, but i was very pleased with this one. so here he is without all the effects and overlays :3
