Mitsuki - Art School Journey (+ Animations)

[Pattu_w]

Damn, that's a busy month, but i'm sure you got this!

[gregorya]

That looks like a busy month ahead of you. Best of luck.

[snakker]

Nice stuff Mitsuki, keep at it! The grind is definitely real XD I also get that feeling when trying traditional

[mitsuki-youko]

Within a week, my schedule's already derailed XD I knew i stacked too much in one day XD
However I've found that I've always been able to complete my personal yearly mbos so I'm thinking a schedule between Yearly and Daily would work.. trying Monthly and if that doesnt work might adjust to a quarterly schedule / list of to dos.

Also i love obsidian - you can make ur own theme n the colors r sooo pretty <3 Here's my attempt at scheduling..... again... XD but just not down to the day / hour.

Finally finished watching all my ethical hacking course vids BUT there is still MUCH to learn. I still gotta draw the art for my hacking blog and next year i'll be working on learning all the stuff i wanna learn.

However, One thing that hella bothered me was.... CyanScythe (Cy).... Cy is supposed to be an attacker - that is to say a red teamer and her outfit is mostly blue....... and her scythe and her eyes are the only things that are red. BUT CYAN Scythe... should have a Cyan Scythe ya know.... so I came up with this idea, when she's not using her scythe's "powers" its blue BUT when she uses it to like bruteforce or something, it turns Red! Bam best of both worlds yay!

Experimenting with some colors

This one is not bad.. but not as good as the next one

OM NOM NOM the scythe's colors look delicious XD

Messed with my orig "red" scythe design some more to make it more.... better looking!

I'll b back :3 whenever i have something to post about anyways XD Still gonna try to do all the things in my orig schedule but at a slightly more relaxed pace....

Oh love that scythe! Colors look so good
I like the idea of scythe changing colors

[daceronine]

Oy those colors are really really nice. Very magic like.
And that schedule is packed as well xD.
I'm looking forward to that note where it says "work on a short comic, The practice is what matters". I love anything comic related.
It'll be interesting to see everything as well though!

And that schedule is packed as well xD.

LMAO at least its for the whole year XD

Oh love that scythe! Colors look so good

thank you @patrycja.lerch

Thank you @Pattu_w, @gregorya, and @snakker

Working on this:

and made it too complicated

Ambient Lighting

Lighting on the stairs

Blue Lighting on boxes

Magenta Lighting on the boxes

Ambient Light on the boxes

Individually the look pretty cool... but they look SO weird mashed together

Maybe i didnt pick suitable base colors hmmmmmmm.... Or i made it too complicated

And the shadows are hard af to draw had to reawatch that one vid from term 4 to see how to cast the shadows.. highly doubt i did it right tho lol

Yepppp... def made that too complicated :3

but i suppose it was still okay practice... tho im tired of shadows now and its jumbling up my brain like math would and don't want to do the rest of em XDDDD maybe i'll circle back to this at some point since the original intent was just to light things and if i only used one light source it would have looked relatively nice so i'll probs just move on to some other assignments for now....

at least the stairs look good tho

[daceronine]

Interesting excercice, looks pretty good!

[Sthingz]

Nice perspective studies! Scythes are looking good too.

[Norma]

Wow! What an exercice! It would owerwhelm me. Looks good to me!

[gregorya]

I've never heard of obsidian. It looks useful.
That is a pretty interesting lightbox study. In Marc's recent video, he has one about lighting. If you want to make the character red, you can change the colors with hue and saturation. I did this one. I'm not sure what you make of this:

[mitsuki-youko]

heyo @gregorya

I actually tried that myself before and didnt like it considering her name is cyanscythe so i want her to be more cyan-y XD

[mitsuki-youko]

Working on ^ as well as the banners for my hacking blog - which incidentally happens to need 7 banners

At the sketch phase rn - can already visualize the colors..:

This one is "Balance" but I don't really like this one cus it looks really bland.. needs more............. stuff.. will probs rework this one a bit.

This one is "Variety". I really like this one! can't wait to color it!

This one is "Proportions". Also really like this one looks pretty dynamic

This one is "movement" - tho i think the proportions are a bit off.. head might b too big - also not dynamic enough. will probs rework this too.

This one is "repetition" - there's supposed to be lots of stairs in the bg in wonky positions. Will rework this to make the stairs look nice.

This one is "Emphasis". not bad but not the best either, though i do like the spaciousness of the bg.

This one's "harmony" tho i'll probs do some more with the bg

[alejorey.1995]

Good exercise, this will help you a lot to understand light behavior better.

[jasminerosepowell]

so amazing to see how hard you've been working!

[gregorya]

That's an interesting idea using the banners and the assignment.

[mitsuki-youko]

Thank you @alejorey.1995, @jasminerosepowell, and @gregorya!

That's an interesting idea using the banners and the assignment.

Haha since i have so many things i wanna do, i try to stack em.

Theres gonna be some overlap with my artbook when i do the personal proj part of this course.

Redid the "About" Banner:

Sketch:

Lineart:

HANDS ARE HARD! (esp foreshortened hands) But once they look good its so worth it looool

nice closeup

Can't wait til i can color it!

[patrycja.lerch]

Looks great! I like that change

also that's a nice hand!

[alejorey.1995]

Yes, hands are a challenge, and I usually end up using references

[funslub1996]

Niceeeee, yea hands are hard to draw even for me. And it looks good on your side, nice.
