If having an emotional episode causes you to tear out internal organs... well, you'll soon have bigger problems than the emotional episode I may draw or at least sketch the context I imagined for that one, even though it's kinda silly. But for now, here's something completely different. She's not from anything; I just wound up kinda doodling her while trying to start sketching something else and then decided to turn her into a more complete drawing. Is she an alien? A robot? A human in a silly costume? I have no idea. I'm pretty happy with how the colors and stuff on her dress turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporb Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Oh, cool, that first drawing of my fall semester started a new page... Anyway, here's something new. Spoilered because I show it again at the end of the post. Spoiler This is Lichen, and if the name sounds familiar it's because I drew her once before, but I decided to almost completely overhaul her design. She's supposed to be one of the Satyr frames from Assault Android Cactus, but she's repaired herself using parts from another android. And she's got a symbiotic relationship of sorts with some kind of tentacle robot, because an android with a name like lichen ought to be in a symbiotic relationship. I used a slightly different process for this drawing, so I thought it might be fun to share some of the in-progress stuff. Here's the super rough sketch/doodle/thing I started with. Most of the time I start with a like stick figure to get poses and proportions right, but this is the main thing I did differently. Spoiler Then, I built off that and sketched almost all of the lines: Spoiler Then I trace over that with a pen tool, because the partially transparent lines work great for sketching, but look really bad on a finished drawing. I added some more details here too. This isn't exactly the lines I had before I started coloring, because I didn't save the image like that. But it's pretty close and gets the idea across. Spoiler Then I try to experiment with colors until I get something I'm happy with, and I guess I got some advice from @Mobbstar for this one. Spoiler Then I color the color the lines (actually, looks like I had the hair outline colored already in the color drawing above.) It's not really necessary but I like how it looks and it's pretty quick and easy to do because I have most of the differently colored lines in different layers. Then I drew a simple background to get some idea of where I wanted the light to come from and what colors to use... Finally, I did the lighting and shading, which for a drawing like this mostly consisted of adding a million layers. That's not even all of them! There's more that needed to go on top of the outlines. But I don't mind because I find this part of drawing fun. Finally: Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. Did I really do all that? I had some sort of closing thoughts... Oh, right, I just wanted to comment on how I started this drawing differently, with the large brush sketch instead of the usual stick figures. I think it helped me get a cooler looking design for Lichen, but I think the pose is a little weak. What exactly is she doing with her claw hand? I don't think this method will work as well if I'm not designing something and I want a more complicated pose. I'm also kinda bothered that I wind up having to trace over my sketched lines again for the final outline. Feels like a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Congrats on the finished piece. The warm colors you chose fit the harsh red background. Has a cinematic look to it. Nice work showing the progress of the piece too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporb Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hmm... This might take a little while to finish. Requires dramatic lighting, but I should use flat colors so it still looks good as a .gif, so that'll be different than what I usually do. I'm also not sure if this is the final design for the android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporb Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 11 hours ago, minespatch said: Is there a story behind this one? Not really, sorry. Basically, the satyr frame never appears in the game, so the only reference I could find to help with Lichen's design is this one sketch: ... which is from one of the dev's ask.fm (https://ask.fm/ironicaccount). I realized I kinda liked the light satyr frames and wanted to draw one, and since they'd be relatively fragile I imagined she'd be taking cover. Of course, for a complete drawing I thought she'd need something to hide from, and I thought the monitors would be a fun way to convey a more vague threat.

Sporb Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Here's my finalized(?) design for Mulberry! I expect to redo the lighting when I include the background, but it's been a long time since I finished anything so I decided to make this standalone thing. That, and you probably won't be able to see her colors as well in the final drawing. Bleh, I think this will have to be the last big project I work on for a while. I'll only have less time for drawing as the semester continues, and I don't like having to wait like a week between finishing drawings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Don't pressure yourself, you did pretty great on this. The lighting is lovely and you can see what expression the android is conveying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporb Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Okay, I'm finally done with this one. I'm pretty tired of working on it. Now I like, have to remember how to, like, START a drawing, again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Way better compared to last night. Feels really dramatic with the new compositional lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporb Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Relatively quick and low effort thing with a little experimentation in technique. Not sure I like the results of that, but maybe I'll learn from it. Gonna try to do smaller drawings for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporb Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Some lame stuff. First, a half-baked idea which became a doodle. And the lines for another drawing.

Anyway, it's pretty much done, so... It's Starch from Assault Android Cactus, with new armor and stuff. She probably appreciates the extra fire power. Hm, I think I'll mess with some of the shading some more later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The smudge iron look on the red bladed axe looks like a reverse blood splatter. This kind of looks like a promotional image. Also love the spread in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the cover art for Bloodborne a little as a reference. Spoiler Anyway, while I'm here, here's the updated version of the drawing. I completely redid the shading on the micromissile launcher, added some more shine, and other minor things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
