Hey Smosh people. I hate drama, I’m an adult and back talking, ship wars, and shit talking people’s work is so high school. I’m too old for that.
However, Gabi @generaltrashshecox and drowninginredink made a rare pair server for smosh ships which I personally think is awesome and I actually wanted to join! I was excited and wanted to join, but I was told not to by a friend who alerted to the fact that people were talking shit about me and my fics (and @jovenshires who doesn’t even write Ianthony). One of these people, red. I had a very big falling out with recently but I incorrectly thought we were handling it like adults and not drawing others into it or bashing each other. Another is someone I had considered a good friend and I was shocked to see them engage in talking badly.
Just to be clear, I’m not asking people to bash Gabi and Red. Gabi and I have talked and I don’t know where are friendship stands after this because literally all they needed to do was communicate. Anyways, I wanted to put this out there so people know this server is toxic and people are being petty assholes. Honestly, I might take a break from writing because of this. As many of you know, I just had a major surgery and stress is horrible for my body right now so I think I need some space.
I got confused since I thought I changed documents but apparently I duplicated it and the process also gets saved (who knew!)
As you can see I had barely no plan on what I wanted it to look like and I figured it out along the way and just near the end the drawing came together in my mind.
My process has always been very wonky and I end up with something that is so different from what I had envisioned, whether it's the color, the style or even the perspective. I do this to myself all the time (sigh).
Hopefully I've learned my lesson for the next one...
He's finally here to bless the souls of all of us sinners.
This Pastor Ian had so many iterations while I was doing the color that I really don't have the process, maybe I'll post stills of it in the future.
Maybe... I'm not sure. This Ian looked so ugly at some moments that I was discouraged to keep going and procrastinated more than I should have... Sorry Ian. But despite everything I really like it. It wasn't how I (poorly) planned it at the beginning but it looks so much better that I could've ever imagine, honestly. I'm very happy.
(Future me did a decent job with the glasses, so I'm pleased.)
Hopefully anyone who sees this will like it as much as I do :)
So— I'm in no way done with Pastor Ian but I have settled on what the color should be. Let's wait and see if when I'm done I haven't changed the drawing too drastically.
And I'm kinda afraid to draw his glasses, I'll let future me worry about that...
This is a WIP with its respective timelapse (don't judge the wonky process, lol), I'm still working on the color. Hopefully I'll have it done in the next couple of days.
