Gregory - Art School Journey

[gregorya]

Thank you @daceronine I've been doing these almost every day for a year now.

Interesting how you keep the timeframe down to the hour.

I usually do that to keep track of how long It takes for me to draw something.

I took an old sketch I made of a Marvel hero Brother Voodoo last year and did some line art using Marc's chalk brush to practice. Inking digitally is a challenge to me. I may have to look up tips on how to make line art.

More gesture drawings.
30 Seconds each

1 Minute each

Also 30 seconds

Also 1 minute

I did a grey-tone flat of Brother Voodoo. There are some issues with the edges of the colors.

[gregorya]

I have some more gesture drawings. It seems that's how much time I have to draw.






This is a sketch I drew from imagination. I loosely based it on a Japanese horror movie called Re/Member. I wanted to draw the monster and the little girl from that movie based on what I can remember.

[daceronine]

Good practice man. If gestures is all you have time for, that's fine as long as you have a good time doing it.

Haven't watched Re/Member, had to look it up. Looks very interesting, I'll have to add it to the queue to watch it whenenver I get a chance to.

[gregorya]

Thank you @daceronine. It's an interesting challenge.
I did some random sketches. some I did while listening to a rap about Little Nightmares 2. I didn't even know that was a thing. I might make some designs about them.

Re/member is pretty interesting I do recommend it.

More gesture drawings

While sketching, I found this song and thought about drawing the main characters from Little Nightmares. I wanted to draw them as adults. Here are Six on the top, and Mono on the bottom.

I never played the games, but I saw a playthrough of the first game long ago. I'm not sure why she's named Six or why he's called Mono.

That's an interesting idea. Reminds of those renditions of Anya from Spy x Family but more grown up (usually with Damian).
I also saw a playthrough of Little Nightmares once, it looked good, but never tried it myself. The song is pretty fire.

[gregorya]

Thank you @daceronine

It reminds me of those renditions of Anya from Spy x Family but more grown-up

I remember that in the original concept art, Ayna was supposed to be older and Loyd's friend Franky was supposed to be her adopted brother. But Franky was aged up and Anya was made younger.
Glad you enjoyed the song.
This is what I have so far turning them into warriors. Based on the gameplay, They can use weapons lying around. here's my sketch for the character Mono. After I shaded them, I smudged the pencils. I'm thinking of giving him a square-like sword.

Here's my idea of Six as a warrior based on her outfit from Little Nightmares.

I tried painting Brother Voodoo, but I kept getting a pop-up saying the scratch disks were full. I copied it on a new file and painted the character grayscale shading in a single layer. Here's what I have so far.

ooh these look awesome!

[gregorya]

Thank you @mitsuki-youko
I used gradient maps to color the grayscale. I want to get the colors right before I work on the background. I may need to re-color the skin.

[daceronine]

Oy good work man. I love working with gradient maps, it makes swapping colors very easy.

[patrycja.lerch]

Looks great!

[gregorya]

Thank you @daceronine and @patrycja.lerch
Gradient maps are pretty helpful with some color adjustments.

[gregorya]

I have a rough idea of the background. I'm thinking of adding skulls on top of stones. I also wanted to add a magic light from him.

I've been learning Blender. I've started by making a donut. his was from a few months ago. It's pretty challenging.

[alix28]

Your character design is way cool! I could be way off but I'm guess he's a necromancer? Love the golden accents in his cape and necklace. Also, that's a very impressive donut! I've tried doing 3d art before and it's so difficult! Nice work!

[patrycja.lerch]

Looks cool!
Good luck with blender

[gregorya]

Thanks @alix28. He's not my character. He's a Marvel hero named Brother Voodoo. I wanted to make a fan art of him. I'd like to read the comics eventually.
Thank you @patrycja.lerch
I'm learning from Blender Guru. Blender is pretty challenging to learn, but I'm getting there.

[daceronine]

Knew I recognized him, but didn't quite remember the name! It's coming out well!

[alix28]

@gregorya Ah my bad! I haven't read a lot of marvel comics so I'm unfamiliar with all the characters, but I really like your fanart and style! Maybe I should read the comics as well Thanks for being patient with me not recognizing the character!

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh das a nice doughnut!
