Chapter#45

Hello there my little shmoop-plops~ (?!?!) How do you all dare do?~
Today's post is about a tribute I did for Street Fighter X Tekken which I'm sure (HOPE)
you've heard or seen of before, since it was one of the most anticipated games of 2012~
My tribute goes towards 2 of my probably favorite video game girls of all time;
Asuka from the Tekken Series, and Sakura from the Street Fighter Series~

Two of which both happen to be school girls...

Anyway! Onto the process~
For this piece I cheated the silhouette stage for some reason and went straight into the
rough sketch~ For me I thought the rough sketch looked pretty cool~ Kinda dynamic.

After I made the lineart however, I noticed the image lost quite alot of the 'energy' it had back in the initial sketch...I think while I was working on this part of the piece I got irritated with Asuka's hair not being able to reveal much since both sides of her head are being blocked by Sakura's head and arm ): Her hair is her main charm in my opinion, besides her chest...I mean her ass...I mean ah ha ba booshka. (face)

Irritated, and believing I would soon quit this piece I plunged on anyway, with the
shadow'ing and the colors (on the left)~ As usual, the piece looked so poor by then.
But the good ol' overlay did its job and brought vibrancy and life into the picture~
Amazing what that Overlay option can do. Takes 2 seconds too!

Finally, just fix / add more little details and voila~ Done! 
Although the quality is no where what I wanted it to be....
I'll remake this piece another time in the future :P

Chapter#44

Greetings! Fellow warriors!~of~ Ass, kaban!~
Been too long :( Hope you guys have been good! I've been pretty busy with myself
for the pass...Huh, haven't blogged for a month. Lolol, yes I've been busy with stuff.

Anyway! A quick update before I go is about a piece I finished quite awhile ago~
This piece is called Demon Dragon Slayer~

Below you'll see a quick design process of what I went through to complete this ^^


So first I made a quick silhouette of the character I was drawing~
Next, I made a quick outline for the silhouette~ Something I'd like to note,
even as early as by now I was thinking of stopping since it looked so bad =,="

Next, I made another layer to add on armaments and weaponry to the character.
As you can see the trickles, this image was actually suppose to be of him
slashing the 'moon' as splashes out of the water~ But the idea was dropped
due to time constraints and such (you'll be hearing that excuse for awhile ):



Next is fine outlining, and abit of a clean up~ Followed by a layer of color underneath :)



Then afterwards, dash it off with a sprinkle of overlay and you're done ^^
The background was made using random smoke brushes I made during my course.


Welp, that's it!~ Sorry for the lack of updates! Will try to keep up to date!
Keep up with whatever you're doing folks! Stay safe and out of the weather :)

...I need more Vitamin D...
