Wow, it's been days since I haven't drawn anything and I think it shows! This is Keric doing what he does best ;) Tsk tsk look at him. I bet he hasn't cleaned himself up for days! Stop having sex and go to work, Keric!
...Lol, who am I kidding? I love him anyway :)
PS - Good boys suck, bad boys swallow.
Messy version here
Hey guys, sorry I've been away for a few days. The reason is I've just gotten my Nintendo DS.
Wow, this piece of machinary is so much fun to play with! The only reason I was able to pry my fingers away from it was because my sister borrowed it from me. Haha, this is sounding more and more like a DS review. Now I only need to add in, "You must BUY it!"...I guess I just did ;)
Lots of games to play AND lots of hunks to see! A few characters that I like is the main character in Hotel Dusk: Room 215. Wow, he's a hottie. Also there's Phoenix Wright. Did you guys know he looks so yummy and scruffy in Gyakuten Saiban 4? ;) I love him wearing casual clothes even more than power suits. Hmm, but then again, Capcom might surprise me!
Ah, yes commissions are still on the go. I'm working my way sloooowly but surely. I'll try to speed things up a litle. Gotta go to work now. See you all in a bit!
Voilà! Here is the finished version of Harperdude5's commission.
Hey, guys! Wow, I said to myself I wanted to take a break from all this for a day or two...It turned out to be a whole week now, haha. Sorry folks, I'll be plugging back more often starting next Monday ;) Here I'll leave you with a commission I was working on before I went off to the land of art-limbo.
Here's another for the oral series. A bit busy this week so not many posts going on, sorry :( I'll try to make up for it ;) Probably going to have a flurry of sketches rather than colored works...
I had this Kingdom Hearts 2 Squall x Cloud picture that was lying around. So, to give it some use I decided to make a tutorial out of it while I colored it.
So here's what you will need;
1. A pen tablet. This is pretty essential if you want to color digitally. Well you can use a mouse but why kill yourself? :P The best brand in the world in my opinion is by Wacom.
2. OpenCanvas4 (OC). You can get it here.
3. A lineart. If you have a pencil sketch, just scan it in or you can always draw a digital sketch straight in OC. You can also search for some outlines on the net. Here's the lineart used for this tutorial if you want to try your hand at coloring.
Open your lineart in OC. Before you color, think about where your light is coming from.
You can put your light source anywhere you want!
After you've decided where you want it to be, it's time to put the base color on your muscle men. First set your lineart layer to "multiply".
In the Layers palette, go to Layer -> Create Multiply Layer. Put this new layer underneath your lineart layer.
Now choose the base color for skin and fill in all the areas of skin on your muscle men. I don't mind getting the colors bleed out of the line. If you're not like me, you can fill in the skin areas properly and then click on the Protect Layer Mask button. This will make your colors not bleed out of the skin area.
Next, choose a slightly darker shade for the skin and color the areas that are blocked by the light. Remember where your light source is!
After that, choose another darker shade for the skin. The more different shades you put, the more life like your muscle men would look like. Here, I've also added a different tint of skin tone to the nipples and Squall's tool :P
There you have it.
Stay tuned for Part 2 - Hair & Clothes
Phew, sorry for the lack of updates these few days! Commissions are coming out of the woodworks. I shouldn't complain though 'cause I'm finally getting my Nintendo DS soon ;) Thanks people!
I did a commission for Harperdude5. It's coming along nicely. Had to look for pictures of guys wearing classic white briefs. I enjoyed the research haha.
Although, I didn't actually had to research...but I wanted to :P
Yeah, wierd angle...
