monkey ??? and Jamie slam WIPsomeone asked me to do a trade today and when they asked for some writing on one of my characters so they could understand them better i sat there frozen for ten minutesso much of my understanding of things is visual and writing is so daunting, i managed to come up with two sentences and just had to accept that was all i hadim also still gimped from this fever so maybe that has something to do with not being able to come up with anything
WIP
finished sketch on my big tablet vs the crude sketch on my small tabletfelt marginally better today and am excited to get things fired back up
Sick
im horrifically sick and couldnt make it to the tablet todaysorry for small post, hopefully tomorrow isnt as rough
Colored
i liked the flats so much that i wanted to keep them
Jamie
whole thing ended up being 9 frames running at 15 fpsexported each frame individually so you can see the small tweaks that happen between each of themive been understanding the fundamental of timing better with each piece just from a lot of fiddling around with frames, having them hold longer or adding in extra frames to some movementsin this case there's an extra frame when hes completely off the ground where the body is still and only the limbs move, keeps him up there for just a moment longer and i think it sells the weight betterdoubted...
WIP
i dont fear the initial wonk in sketches because im confident enough in my ability to fix it later on down the linethere are some people who insist that you have to have a very solid foundation in the start of a drawing but i think whatever comes most naturally to you is the most helpfula drawing is a collection of lines placed at your discretion that is finished at whatever point you decide for it to be finished, so even one line on a page is a drawingthe compliment to just one line being a finished drawing is the idea that any drawing is neve...
Bones
good excuse to do some skeleton practicejamie (and all of the jamie-likes) have some level of regeneration, and his bones have an increased iron content that causes the speckling and boosts toughnessmarceline's shotgun blast to his face stripped the bone and some tissue completely, and because of embedded shrapnel, it wasnt able to heal properly, which makes the blast the worst damage he's receivedthey all have a lot of hairline fractures after general movement/impacts and breaking from random encounters with one anothermonkey's bon...

very happy with how this one came outdidnt feel like i was on borrowed time so the colors got more attention

Misc
doodles and wipsguess whos getting a run cyclemanaged to make it without using any refs and the muscle memory of erts cycle both helped and messed with mei wasnt happy with the first rendition of it, felt too floaty and bouncy, like ert's, and i wanted the run to capture some sort of predator laser focus on a distant targetsteadying the head was huge and i reworked the back leg area to make the front more weighty and imposing8 frames at 12fps
WIP
seahorseythis shows some more of the spontaneous shapes spawning out of other shapesi did have a pose in mind for this piece but it wasn't 100% clear to me so i followed impulses wherever they felt rightwhat im usually going for is some sort of tension created in the torso that is rerouted in the arms or viceversa, and im very open to myself to allow things to change around for better cohesion even if it goes against what i was initially picturing
Organs
reworking his internal anatomy and made a quick rough draftre: enlarged lungs and heart and missing other major organswe'll see how elaborate it gets im in finals week now and after thats over ill have more brain space to do big thingsalso more monkey
Sharp
went for more geometric stylization could definitely push it furtherthese kinds of exercises are great for creative stimulation and can expose your mental blindspotsthe more ways that you can represent an object (realistically, abstractly, contour line, shadow shapes, organic, geometric, etc etc) the more thoroughly you understand it and its essence and the more easily/quickly you'll be able to depict it in ways that you find interestingmuscle memory will take you far but fighting that muscle memory momentarily with something out of your co...

Better
i like this one more i think it shows his personality betternot as weighty as i want it to be but definitely sturdy he is very sturdysome wips of my absolutely manic animation process too
Colored
had a lot of fun with this onehave been in a crazy slump from exhaustion but im slowly crawling out of it
Nert
made a jog cycle today with a silly chicken head bob not 100% sold on it so will likely do another walk/run cycle
Red
snarl with and without eyebleedand a new jamie-like adversary more adept than he is at maneuvering through treesalso very tall
Born
thus a ref is bornstill a wip but 80% of the work is thereagain showing the process and how different body parts spawn off of each other, always trying to add in some sort of counterbalance or twist/tension to a posethere's flow, which is great for making airy and light figures, then theres tension, which is great for making heavy or hulky figuresif you can mesh the two you can make certain parts of the body appear as if they're still in motion while others are rigid or bearing weight
Indulgent
thats been the name of the game latelynert development
Dental
here we go these are the teeth ive been trying to draw jamie with for so longhe's got this grimace he pulls pretty regularly that can mean a variety of things: an acknowledgment, a warning, a muscle resetteeth grow constantly so he gnaws at trees like a rodent would, is also why the teeth in the shotgun wound aren't missing (anymore)~6000 psi crushing strength
Designing
remembered to separate out the different parts of my sketching phaseall my designs start with a body as the foundation, and the way that the body ends up looking will determine the features i place on top of itvery rarely do i start with any picture in mind, usually i start smacking lines down and ill follow impulses as they come to methe reason i can do this is because i deliberately built up (and continue to add to) my own visual library, which is a type of memory recalleverything everyone draws is based on things theyve seen, so any design y...
