Made a small animation for fun in Krita, it syncs up to a lot of songs going around 120 bpm

Just popping in to dump a WIP.

Hey look it's the storm king! That silly old Demon's Souls boss, I'll never forget the pain and suffering it put me through, nor the manic laughter of defeating it in NG+ using the storm ruler sword...

I had to look it up, and I see what you mean. I didn't play Demon's Souls to completion, just Dark Souls 1 =)

Dumping small progress shots of this WIP, I've decided to double down on making "clean" lineart before I go to the final step of painting. I rush too quickly through most of my work, so right now I'm just trying to slow down.

Had to go do something else for a little while. WIP of a face study.
posting because I hit my work time deadline for today, will continue work on it tomorrow.

I don't know how I feel about the brush I'm using. Sometimes I love the effect, other times I hate it. Might try something radically different tomorrow.

Thank god I walked away from it yesterday, came back and basically repainted the whole face.
This is the current progress. Don't know if I'll keep going with it or not.

Edit; Finished this today as far as I wanna take it. This is the final, gonna add this as a new "top image" on the first post cause I kinda like it.

Hair study of my girlfriend's messy hair. Thought it looked interesting in the light, so I snagged a picture. Still have trouble rendering hair, but learned some things at least.

Edit; resized to image to something smaller.

Spent a good chunk of the day painting a Leaf.
This was honestly really hard, but I learned a lot, and had some fun.
Not done, but think I'm abandoning it. The composition wasn't the greatest to begin with.
tested out some new brushes though.

[stealcase]

Current WIP. Trying out new techniques and new brushes all the time. End up with dirty results, but some are promising.

Crud the Goblin speedpaint and a face study I've been working on.
Painted the goblin cause I wanted to stare at some different colors again.

Been in sort of an art rut lately, haven't been happy with the things I've made. Made this with markers without sketching underneath. Really difficult, not super happy with it, but it's progress.
EDIT; ignore hands. I'm not great at hands if I only get one shot at em.

Been really busy with Family and taking Blender (3d software) courses, so haven't been drawing as much lately. But here is a study I did today.
