Jowy Shenanigans 29/6/12
This week is the final week to get the competition
pieces I have been posting on about for the last two weeks ready for
submission today before five. Now I got the first illustration done and added
an overlay layer of colour to the tonal value because I felt for the subject
matter its characters needed to look and feel vibrant despite how dark the backdrop
got but I feel it brings out the characters better.
There are elements I would change in this but I think it’s at a good enough finish to submit to the competition that I hope gets my style recognized. |
I had started making
very good process on the second illustration in terms of tone but liked I
ranted about on facebook a couple of days ago I lost all that PS work and only ended
up with a small recording from screenflow to archive what could have been a
strong piece. But considering time I doubt I will even get it up to the standard
I had imagined it to be. Still I will send if off as a line art drawing if
worst comes to worst
anyway until next post LATERS ;)
Change is indeed good
Now I usually would restrict
myself from putting up some of my early or just rough work because I have a perfectionist
mind set when it comes to character design or cartoons. If the design looks out
of proportion or just ugly depending on the subject I leave it alone for more
than a while. Which is exactly what I did with this tablet doodle I started
back in 2010 but it never was as cute as I wanted and the deer just irritated
me every time I tried to redo him partly cause I was too lazy to look up anatomy
and movement of the creatures back then.
I am a
real sucker for this type of character design that’s partly reason why I am a
Brony (le sigh).
I don’t hate most of these early designs as I should
they have some nice quirky merit to them
|
Now today after finishing my
illustration Crouse in university and altering my style and media the doodle is
much more closer to how I imagined it to look like. Its not perfect but I think it archived what I set out to do two years ago (Cute and innocent).
I am a real sucker for that type of
design that’s partly why I am a Brony (le sigh).
Its crony but true
when I say practice makes prefect and you will never get exactly what you envision
if you do not put that extra work in which is something I have leaned throughout
my years the hard way sometimes still do. ^^;
until next post LATERS ;)
