Big Misch Sketches

[big-misch]

@Diana_T Thank you!!

Here is a thing I'm starting to work on.

[achronic]

I like your design! it's very clear, and obvious, in a good way! Though, besides some damage, I do feel that it should have some more ancient aspects to it, such as moss or visible rust? Still awesome though!

[big-misch]

@achronic Good call! I've paused on that guy for now, but if I go back in I totally agree!

Here are some weapons. Done for now, but probably need to go in and clean up a bit more.

Trying to frantically cobble together a portfolio by next wednesday. I'm heading to Schoolism live in Seattle!

So here I'm re-hashing some old thumbs for a cheeky portfolio piece.

[big-misch]

Modest progress on this dude.

Messing with occult/pagan logos for personal branding. Trying to work in WSMII (initials plus roman numeral 2). Any favorites??

and some other little things

I think your sketches that uses different brushes are more successful as it shows more story.

[big-misch]

@shengchieh_lin4 Thanks! Is there one that stands out? I'm not fully sure which ones you'r talking about!

I'll be back to drawing soon, here is a little photo from my recent trip to Seattle!

[big-misch]

Two more photos from my Seattle trip! Excited to get back to drawing now!

Some heads and helmets. Not super keen on them, I think I'll have to do another round.

And this is where I'm leaning with my logo so far. Still messing with line weight, and the angles of the star. But I think I'm getting close.

Nice character concepts! same for the occulut symbols the axes looks awesome! the giant with glowing sphere looks awesomeeeee!! You can use glowing effect in photoshop in FX layer to give it more life. Showing example, i also added a layered gradient with lost opacity because of light density as it travels and loses energy, just an idea. Thanks for stopping by man!

[big-misch]

@patrone Thank so much!! Yeah, that really makes it pop!

Trying to learn composition and color at the same time....... Oh well, at least I really like #5. I think I'm going to try and keep doing these as practice. I'm doing this one because I want to make a finished illustration, but in the future I want to do them just for the practice.

Lunch sketch!
Added the sunset at the end, and I don't think it's fully working yet. But it was fun!

[big-misch]

Here is my first ham-handed attempt at lighting. I hate selfies. I think I can move the rim light to a more interesting spot. Maybe add a second one? Or move it behind me? Dunno. We'll see!

[big-misch]

Here are some recent character sketches, and some sketches for an album cover for a friend.

Oh man, dig those 2 last black/white sketches, since I am a sucker for notan/compositional type of things.

-

Saved some of your cloud photos for studying clouds later, if you do not mind

-

For the logo brand for the occult stuff, what caught my attention was
F6, F5, B6

-

The selfie with you playing around with different lightning conditions is interesting. And yeah definitely could try with one more light source to see what kind of effects it makes.

It made me recall of the Tokyo Neon lights (you probably seen those)

-

Not much to say aside from, keep going, keep creating.

[big-misch]

@hermidraws Thanks man! Yeah, save anything you want! Thanks for all your notes! I really appreciate it!

Here is one more black and white. And then a study I started.

[cedricgo]

I'm really liking those last few black and white sketches you've did. The atmosphere really draws you in... well at least it does for me!

[big-misch]

@cedricgo Thanks! Those were fun! A good exercise in composition and mood!

Finally getting started in on this! Loooong way to go.

[big-misch]

Start of a study. Maybe the end of one too lol
