Sprint Retrospective #11 of 2024 - (6/5/24 - 19/5/24)

After nearly 10 weeks of inactivity/doodle around, I have finally completed something I wanted to do!! Huzzah!!

Simpson Art

If there's one thing I don't like drawing cartoon from real-life reference, it's that you can exaggerate but not that much to be offensive. To avoid, I have to get the best reference without the subject directly - her boyfriend! XD

This actually paid off as he provided not only references but also specific features and explanation on why so. Particular example is her hair as I have initially drawn it like she has lots of big hair at the top where in reality, her hair is more flat.

So after some more discussion and feedback with him, I have finally finished and presented... and she love it! Thx Christ. XD

Not only is it an art gift but is also my first non-TD work ever! So double W for me! :smile:

After that, I feel more confident that I can do other/new art style without much fear now.

Would I do more Simpson work/comm in the future? Possibly but I need more practice on deconstructing Simpson art style before I could even think of comm. But let celebrate this victory quietly.

TD Comm

I have explained to my commissioners that I have started coming back into their comms but the trouble is finding the motivation to do line-art. Perhaps it's because of my insistence and easy ability to undo digitally, I have continuously redo the line again and again till I get the perfect one - thus costing me more time than initially expected.

Here's 1/2 of the comic with lineart atm.

AtomicKingBoo Study

Me this whole sprint

Goals for upcoming sprint

  • Continue TD commissions - at least get the lineart done
  • Get a start with art study of atomickingboo

That's it from me. Thx for reading and hope to see you again! :smile:

Good work on the simpson style comission, it looks really good!

Comic also looks good, though it seems to be a bit early to tell how it's coming together.

That's nice work. The sketches are nice as well.

That happens sometimes. I think it was mentioned on my page before that you can draw on your picture, and then you can erase the lines you don't want, or draw it again over the last picture. The comic looks pretty good. I would like to know the context of the comic later.

Something I've seen on a video was someone who used the pen tool to make their lines to their desired line weight then would go back and taper the lines by erasing some of the thickness near the ends of the lines to give it a bit of that hand drawn aspect to it. I saw it posed to someone else's page but I cant find it. or if anything turn your line smoothing up when doing like a really specific curve. I do really love your lineart tho it has a nice weight to it,

Honestly, you don't want to see it coming together. :sweat_smile:

Thx, man!

NSFW Commission. Sold my art dignity for cash :sweat_smile:

So my process on lineart is to have 2 layers - 1 for finished and another one for upcoming line drawing. That way I can do new line without affecting existing lines. That may lead me to keep finding perfect line lol.

Thx. If there's one thing I do appreciate from particular cartoon like Total Drama (Visible line), it's make you think about the line direction and flow. It's like giving the line an expression itself (much like line of action lol)

Sprint Retrospective #12 of 2024 - (20/5/24 - 2/6/24)

Was out with extensive amount of works for those 2 weeks so will keep it quick and short.

TD Comm

Finally finished the comm. Was lazy with the art background but you can see why it's NSFW lmao.

Have already started with the 2nd comm - just got my initial draft approved.

Basically, it's the same idea but reverse the character role. However this time, I play around with more expressive action and different angle. Aim to get the refined draft done and hopefully the lineart too.

AtomicKingBoo Study

Art Study gonna have to take a pause as my primary work is taking more priority at this time.

Others

Random TD Bridgette work

Goals for upcoming sprint

  • Continue TD commissions

That's it from me. Quick and simple but at this time, other stuff are more prioritised. Hopefully, it's only a small blip and not a continuous trend. :pray:

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good art week! :smile:

Haha, that's quite the comission. I feel there's a story behind the request, but I'm kind of afraid to ask xD. Despite my limited knowledge on the TD style, I can see It's incredibly well done.
