[battledragon78]

the grind goes on...but today I did less due to everyday duties.

[snakker]

Nice, those legs look good 👍

[battledragon78]

thank, I am slowly getting it more, those skeleton exercise help a lot.

[battledragon78]

probably I would not end assignment again... only half of them are nearly done.

[battledragon78]

tomorrow is the llast day of week, I will only copy full body artwork. Feet aren't 20 as planned, but i feel saatisfied .

[kohkeeree]

Your feet pics are coming great! looks like you have a good hold on the feet's form and the progress is coming in fast!

[battledragon78]

yes, after trial and error and full anatomy class I feel aswel I have took one step further. I have made a comparison from 6 months ago and there is a clear acknowledgment about anatomy. Also I feel I understood much better about gesture drawing since whitout soft organic curves the anatomy construction I feel would be too much rigid.

[battledragon78]

This is the last master copy for this week. I have ended doing approx half of assignment (13 feet oveer 20 and 5 copies over 10) . Sadly I am too slow and I ain't got enouh time, bt i feel fun to draw is still here and progress are coming up. Coping mr Oliva from Baki was more fun that I have expected (I don't like the art style, even if I enjoy the anime/manga). Anatomy is really here and the author Keisuke Itakagi really know how to exagerate whitout breaking fundamentals.

That’s really cool, Baki has some crazy anatomy exaggerations XD

This week is free practice...so I decided to keep gong whit personal project. I had a environment idea, which lead to a particolar character, which lead to a study...to this.
It' s a corrupted entity that breed a mortal in order to enter reality...which lead to story and characterization of a particular etnic group. This is just a starting idea, let see how it evolve.

[battledragon78]

The idea was a subterran environment kinda like a forge white a huge statue spilling out some liquid . So I started studying the volume of the creature statue and then I put up a first sketch about it

[battledragon78]

Some refinement. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to add some values and color, even if I still think it lack details...but I don't want to focus on one thing only, I plan to spend at least sunday on a different sketch.

[snakker]

Hey this is really cool! You’re adding a lot of depth and environmental storytelling to it

Cheers

[mitsuki-youko]

woah this looks so awesome!

[battledragon78]

Thanks to both ! this is the final version, for now, I had to stop due to time, no color, no values

[mitsuki-youko]

gorgeous! love the sense of scale you have there!

[battledragon78]

thank Youko , studies seem to have helped me in a way.

Last week achievement, this is a study for Lalat race , the egypian like race. Temporary name for her is Queen Kleophaxia (obv inspired by Cleopatra)
I tried to achieve a sad, but noble face, whit a slender body, this race isn't strong, it ses wit and alchemy to subjugate theyr enemies. It's also living in a hard environment (a desert) so it's kinda hard to conquer. The sad look should reflect the fact that she had to bargain her soul in order to save her people. Also lower body should be a reptilian like but I ain't got no time and just traced some general proportion.

[battledragon78]

This week has come to an end, tomorrow the grind will begin again. Have a nice Sunday.
