Last minute 2024 art summary! Had a bit of a rough one artwise, but still made lots that I love, if you see this, thanks for looking <:

This year as part of @renegadeguild’s event for FanFic Writers Appreciation Day (FFWAD), I had the honor of binding @isnt-it-pretty‘s fic “Fingernails The Colour of Rust” with art by @pigeon-noises! Both of them received a bound copy of the work, shown below :)

You can view Pigeon’s beautiful art Here and Here!

This project was super fun and I learned a lot along the way, more photos and description below the cut :)

This project saw a lot of late nights battling the printer, but equally as many nights excitedly experimenting with fonts and designs and layouts. The end design featured lineart tracings of the in-game Scarab and Nilopata Lotus materials, and in total is 312 pages long (284 of which are the fic itself). Making the case was by far the most challenging part of this process - using a foil quill was especially fun to learn, I owe so much to the Renegade binderary presenters. Unfortunately, the dust jacket would not print to size so it’s a bit small, but overall I think the books came out really great!

Thank you again to @isnt-it-pretty and @pigeon-noises, your works are so beautiful and I’m so grateful to have been able to make these books for you!

Be sure to check out the tags #FFWAD #renegadelovesfic (and their variations) to see other’s amazing fanbinds from this event!

HIII!!!I LOVE UR ARTRNASDJKNDA

im currently struggling with my art and id say your art is pretty swag! you have that perfect blend of realism and stylization and i really admire that!

I'd like to know what's your process for drawing anatomy!

Hello and thank you!! So sorry, I've been away from my computer and pretty busy for a while - hope you don't mind a much belated answer.

As far as anatomy goes, I will say I'm definitely still learning, so my process is a bit all over the place, but I can explain my usual approach under the cut with an example:

0. Optional tiny Vibes Drawing (Smaller than 1-inch thumbnail to figure out the overall shape of the figure/what to emphasize) to refer back to while drawing. I didn't actually do one here... 1. Block out head and lines for shoulder/hip/torso midline/limbs 2. Add Shapes to fill out the limbs/chest (ribs/collarbones are usually my landmarks for this) 3. Panic and look up references for the things that don't quite feel right (hands + arm in this case) to fix the drawing 4. And refine until the lines feel right

I realized belatedly that maybe Siffrin wasn't the best example since everything gets covered! But it's too late now During anatomy studies, I'll draw out muscles and stuff (replacing steps 2/3 with more structured construction), but I often just go by "shapes that feel nice" when I'm not studying. Less constricting that way. For anatomy experts, Proko has some great videos on figure construction (and figure drawing for all its worth is an excellent book!). It's a long answer, but thanks very much for asking, and I hope you can cut through your art struggles!
