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!

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!
