the skull here is actually modeled closely after a deer skull, just compressed to fit a dog's overall face shape. also tried to make the eyes a little less wide-set than a deer's without making them completely front-facing like a dog's. here's the rest of the (still un-rendered) body:
i'm testing out the screen recorder i just downloaded so if that ends up working the way i want it to i'll have a timelapse of this piece when it's done :)
A certain artwork by @catboymoments punched me in the gut this morning! So obviously I had to redraw it ^v^
I was too lazy to do lineart so I impulsively decided to try a whole new painting over sketch no line thing with my art lol. Twas a risk but I'm pleasantly surprised by the result! (especially the hand I had lots of fun with that!!!)
also bonus speedpaint under the cut bc I literally just found out how to use the csp timelapse function dfgjksdfhgk
the queen herself <3 my second favorite jjk character
alt versions under cut !
this was like the second time I tried the whole lineless kinda art and it’s acc so fun but it takes me SOO long this took literally ages, esp cause of school. i dunno if I should go back to my old basic coloring style tho, cause this is like wayy more fun to do
thank you everyone for liking my pmv (and on yt and twitter) !! i got more attention than i thought it would and that means the world to me! <33
here’s some of my concept art + rambles for it!
the first thing i made up, the character designs!
i didn’t think to refine them because they were good enough to use LMAO... so i scribbled colours down, threw a filter and called it a night
i wanted a sharp change from the verses and chorus (since the song goes from calm to... louder) so i made it greyscale (with a red filter) that changed to brighter colours!
also changed the text font/colour for ignacio hmm. the font was hard to read, in my opinion.
ignacio's design
ignacio loses his bandage colours because that was too many colours for my liking… i completely forgot his hair highlights tho
ah and he doesn’t get a mouth until the fire scene too…
it was only meant to be done for a few frames but i thought it be cooler if it was consistent.
the missing mouth represents his repressed feelings/silence, or something like that.
skidad's design
i got a few questions on whether skidad was a goat. despite looks, skidad’s design is actually based on the herbiadean/jacob sheep! four horns!
i have drawn skidad as a jacob sheep before as well!
look at them ominous friends.
the resemblance to goats is something i considered as well (links with cult/sacrifice) so i think of it as a fun bonus
i gave him wolf teeth because the whole “wolf in sheep’s clothing” but also because i like it when prey animals are given predator features
i left the body as "human" because i only wanted the face to be censored… i considered clawed/darkened hands too but nah
skidad was originally going to be lined like ignacio, but i liked the lineless look for him so voila! makes it feel like he’s “not bound by anything”... actually, this is the same reasoning for the match to be “out” of the border, even though it’s ignacio’s hand
storyboards
i rarely storyboard (most are locked in my mind) but i figured it'd be fun to try!
halfway, i got bored of drawing digitally so i moved onto my notebook. i think it was a good decision; since i drew with my ink pen, it forced me to move on with my mistakes instead of clicking "clear canvas" lol
i had a pretty solid idea of what i wanted after weeks of listening to the song over and over again. the only thing that really changed was the mirror, which was replaced with a shadowy ignacio
the coloured thumbnails i actually did first, just to figure out out what i’m doing for the chorus part… limited palette my beloved
i didn't know where to put the text so i was scribbling everywhere lol
ratio changes
in the chorus, the ratio of ignacio and skidad’s frames changes! it’s more obvious if i combined them together, like this
less for ignacio, more for skidad
did you notice that the fire in this shot look like the cult ?!!! why did i do that, you ask? well:
the fire is the same “red”as the robe
too lazy to draw fire without abusing motion blur
mmm symbolism idk. it's somewhere there
it wasn’t in my plans but i’m happy i made the choice in the last minute. this was the last thing i needed to finish before syncing it up with the music
also this… i just wanted to point it out… make sure everyone knows... did you notice this? did you? did you did you? well now you do!!!
that's it !!! that's your trip into my mind!! okay byeeeee !!
Dude your art style is so GOOD I love how it’s all kind of ? Lineless? Nettlepaw looks like a little tootsie roll I LOVE
AAAA THANK YOU. i love how sharp lineart looks, but i hate doing it 95% of the time. I LOVE SKETCHING THO..
so by just going right for flat colours and carving the shapes out, i'm having fun through the entire experience which is.. The Goal. it's like sketching and colouring sametime. so good..
i recommend it to anyone whose in a bit of an art funk!
I love this silly autistic dog so much they're so cool,, (prob could have fit soo many more patches on, but I wanted to keep the text legible w/o having to zoom in too much and also make it less of a pain to redraw later /lh)
Also messin around with lineless art and I fuck w/ it, is very fun (could def improve it tho)
// Slight eyestrain warning for the image blelow the cut
(Its the same drawing but w/ different outline)
It isnt too bad in terms of eyestrain (I dont think at least) but the lighter outline makes it a bit hard to separate from the bg (and kinda hurts my own eyes to stare at. I do still prefer this one tho, prob should've just made the bg darker but hindsight is 20/20)
Hooooo that took a while- I mean, uh, woah, more art! Started this sort of reference sheet thing like a month ago or so, been working on it very sporadically, and brain kept wanting to add more details and shading so it kinda just kept going and going. but hey, twas fun! and I got some more experimenting in, this time with not actually having proper shading and highlight layers and instead just messing around with the brush opacity
So anyway, it's plant boi. Or Moss!T/iso, as I've been calling him. Sort of just to show how I visualize him, and also what he's been up to since his, uh, revival. tho of course the internal there is from while U/nn was still healing him
And also a bit of a teaser for what should be my next fic! Admittedly, I haven't been working on it as much as I'd like to, with college stuff and also working on the art here. for now, enjoy the snack until I can finish the meal ;) (also click for higher quality, I worked hard on this ;w;) (like seriously the Hunter's hood took hecking ages and for what)
and look below the cut for an extra treat~ (warning for fearplay)
oh gee, wonder what happened to our boi here. merhaps a follow-up to that last image? either way, rip Tiso (he'll be fiiiiiiine)
seriously this was supposed to be a quick bonus sketch but as soon as I started coloring in the face and leaving light around the eyes I was doomed. ....WAIT SHOOT THE LIGHT- okay fixed. the colors really do look way better on my drawing tablet than my laptop screen huh
here is the undarkened version
aaaaaaand lineless. because I went out of my way to make sure it looked good without the lines :>
okay that's actually it now eheh bye

Experimenting with lineless art. I call myself a hiccstrid shipper but i never draw them in their wedding outfit lmao. I don't do lineless art alot gee i wonder why but i want to make more because it's actually kinda fun but a bit harder tho.
