Mar Cynwer - Art Blog (Sketches, animation and pencils)

Let's try this again:

Okay, seems to be working now. The reason seems to be that a too wide gif image needs to resized to fit the page. When this resizing is done, the page apparently loses some of the file integrity, thus causing it to appear as in my upper post.
The magical width of a gif seems to be about 880 (this is 850).
Sorry for the constant posting, I was just interested in the reason behind the not working gif images.

Update after a long while.

I tried to draw something that I have never drawn before. There are some anatomy issues with these.

Baiken from Guilty Gear vs Bullet from Blazblue.

Seth and Eirika from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

I got inspired to draw in ink again after watchin Kim Jung Gi's work, and I wanted to improve my line confidence. These are straight to ink studies mostly from Masamune Shirows Dominion.

First eleven frames of the Spike study.

Nice to see you posting again! Traditional animation seems very hard

mar_cynwer 2016-11-20 14:16:54 UTC #17

@achronic Sorry for the late reply, I try to post more, but due to my work, I am very tired. Usually I don't have as much time to draw than I would want to. And most of that is used to study animation and doing study sketches.

Animation takes time, but I think it is well worth it. When I can see the finished sequence and the movement, it just makes me feel so content.

Nevertheless, here are some more straight to ink line confidence studies, this time with Masamune Shirows Appleseed.

I really like your works on ink, the confidence in your line is much more visible. Keep up the good work!

@fried-noodles Thanks! I've found it very fun to draw straight to ink.
Here are the 22 first frames from the Spike animation study.

oooOooo love that Spike animation. Very nicely done

mar_cynwer 2016-12-13 17:41:40 UTC #21

@nickkhoo Thanks! It's nearly halfway done now
37 frames. There are some issues with the end.

Time for some sketches and studies:

My interpretation of Shank the Master Cutter from the excellent game Guild Ball.

Lucius, a master of the Neverborn and Guild factions from Malifaux.

Rinkah, one of my favourite characters from Fire Emblem: Fates.

More straight to ink studies, this time with more variation. Contains sketches from Corvus Bellis Infinity miniatures, Appleseed, Dominion Tank Police, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Even more straight to ink studies. These are from Dark Souls one of my all time favourite games. The armours of Ornstein the Dragon Slayer, Shive of the East and the general Warrior class. I also included a small image of humanity.

Wow, those animations are wonderful! So much movement:) Also, I love One Punch Man!!

lukasz-draws 2016-12-19 19:54:53 UTC #24

cool animations!

mar_cynwer 2017-01-18 17:40:02 UTC #25

@sanguine Thanks! One Punch Man is really great, I'm looking forward to more episodes for it
@lukasz-draws Thanks!
I took a little break from the Art War and found out that Baiken is coming to Guilty Gear Xrd. So here is a quick sketch of her.

ragamuffin 2017-01-24 08:27:03 UTC #26

Your drawings are awesome! And all those anime and games stuff, geez. Hope to see more from you soon!

mar_cynwer 2017-03-15 18:22:31 UTC #27

@ragamuffin Thanks! Sorry for the long delay.
So, the Art War is over and I'm back to doing studies. Here is the finished Spike Spiegel study from Cowboy Bebop. It took a little longer than I originally thought, but I managed to finish it, though there are still a few issues with it.

Maybe for the next Art War I should do a little animation.
Here is part of the original:

Animation sketch based on Yoko Littner.

DynameshDude 2017-04-03 22:35:27 UTC #29

This is insane, man! I would love see you take it even further!

mar_cynwer 2017-05-08 12:11:41 UTC #30

@conceptmonkey Thanks! I will be continuing it someday.
An update after a month. I was going to upload a bunch of images I have been drawing lately, but realized that the scanner messed some of them up...
For now, there is just a sketch of the Black Dragon Kalameet from Dark Souls. I had realized that I have never drawn many dragons, so I though why not give it a shot.

luckyyy 2017-05-08 15:20:49 UTC #31

Kalameet <3

mar_cynwer 2017-05-09 16:59:36 UTC #32

@luckyyy I still remember my fight with Kalameet, it was a really great boss! After hours of trying, I finally managed to beat him, with only a little bit of health left

A quick keyframe sketch from Kill la Kill.
