your transfemme alex makes me feel blessed everytime i see her on my feed she’s so gorgeous and i love her forever. your art. is so good. i think about it all the time.
Thank you so much!! I actually wanted to answer your ask yesterday but it made me so happy, so i drew this alex for you!! :3 it's a bit rushed though
This is the link you want! If you have any trouble, please just let me know and I'll do my best to help out! If this doesn't work, I can send you my personal files!
I've been using Sun for an animation actually haha
Hihihi! I'm happy to report it did! :'-DD
Fully rigged with textures and such, though I couldn't seem to find the controls (unless it doesn't come with them so I'll have to do it myself in Maya since I have no exp with Blender unfortunately!)
But here's sth quick I did while messing around with the joints. Sunny says thank you!! <3
Also im excited to see what you;ve been working on!! <3
Finally. At long fucking last. I've drawn my 2nd top pick in the Redactedverse. He's technically the first person I ever tried to draw, but now I have a sketch I actually love.
I'm asking y'all to show some love to: Mr. Milo Greer
LIIIIIIIIKE only like 3 people have seen the first/earlier iterations of my Milo design, but this— this feels like him. And I'm so fucking happy with it now. /pos
Anyways I need him carnally, biblically, and in ways damaging to feminism
[Quick Stats (for my headcanon)]
-5'5" (Shortest of the pack minus Angel)
-Afro-Latino (Specifically Dominican)
-Always has some sort of chain, not negotiable. In his base canon design, it's this name chain. In other iterations, the chain takes different forms. (And yes. It stays on. You know what I mean.)
-As per my headcanon that all the pack has at least one scar on their face, his is across his left eyebrow.
-The body hair and the freckles were a must-have, they just make sense to give him in my mind /pos
-Despite "canon", I think his design meshes amazing with Maia's (aka my "Darlin" / Part of Moonlit Chains, my default ship if Milo or Darlin is involved)
how'd you get good at environment art? i've been tossing around the idea of going into concept art, but i've been afraid of getting into environments. what would you suggest to start out with to someone new to it?
learn perspective!!
its not as hard as it may seem once you understand how vanishing points and horizon lines work. i was lucky enough to be taught perspective when i was young and now im trying to get good at doing it free hand. i never liked how Perfect using rulers and grids made things feel, and by doing it free hand i feel like it adds back that more organic feeling that a real environment has
sometimes the vanishing point isnt even in the frame. my trick is to put my scene in a box. the box itself gives the perspective lines for you to follow and you can still imagine where the vanishing points are or even draw them if you Can see it. something about the box method just really helps me visualize the space im working in. ground, sky, and depth. and put a grid on it! in perspective!! itll really help with visualizing depth. heres an example of what i mean:
straight lines!! i dont know why because it kind of contradicts my last statement about perfect vs organic 💀 but using a straight line tool changed the game for me. on CSP i just turn my post correction all the way up and it makes my lines straight which i prefer so i can still use the same pen and im not locked to a grid. i'll turn it off for organic things in the environment like plants and stuff, but for inorganic things i use straight lines and it always makes it feel Right to me. some people are good at drawing inorganic things freehanded and they still look Right (and leans into that organic environment feeling) but not me for some reason 💀 i love you post correction
UUHH hmm. another little note that isnt necessarily about backgrounds but definitely helps when i draw them is: draw the Effect of the detail, NOT the Exactness of it. especially when youre drawing an environment things are gonna get muddied as they get farther out of focus (hard edges and soft edges are important!! not everything needs to be crisply in focus and itll detract from where you Want people looking anyway if it is). dont think about what you Know the thing is supposed to look like, with all its details. its more about the Feeling of it. ie the Effect of it. with my sketchy style i have a lot of fun with this concept aha i love my scribbles :)
good luck anon!! i hope this helps you in some way!! 💕 also dont get too intimidated by actually drawing the objects in a scene. the box method works for individual objects too. i basically imagine everything as some kind of weird cube or cylinder 😂 break things down as simply as you can and work from there. AND USE REFERENCES
@emis-equivalent-exchange Here's my gift for @spacedpanini! I decided to try drawing your au version of Lexi Cappella in my own style, because I really liked those designs and Lexi's my favorite character. Also as a bonus have a bunch of sketches (she's fun to draw!):
If I had a nickel for every time Hangman Page said something so iconic in January that I had to add it to my blog description I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
