now that i finally finished my own fanart, here it is for the 0 people who requested it! mostly just a conglomeration of my own observations while attempting the style. hope this helps people!

[junakov]

Fanart ive made of @burrotello AU 🫶 (and tadc/md lol) i love the designs and concept so much 😭😭

[solnecco]

was going through my files and found this mini process thing I made for someone about my general grass painting process

posting it here to show everyone so it may possibly be helpful

*the round brush used is pretty much the default basic round brush you'd find in every art program

edit: whoops forgot to put this in original post, here's a note I made about drawing the grass tufts

I love the way you do shading and coloring! Could you do a tutorial on it sometime? I love your art :0)

I’ll do you one better, here’s my poorly explained art ritual right now! (Gave me another excuse to draw King Candy, thank you for that.)

I mainly just fumble around and hope for the best. Usually I pull colours from references, but I just eyeballed it for this. Choosing the shading is pretty straightforward, move the hue and the darkness around and experiment. Like dark pink for the red bow tie, orange for the yellows, ect. Then use the smudge tool and pray. I used pink on a multiply layer for Candy’s stupid rosy cheeks. Last I make a new layer above the line art one—and using a similar technique as the shading—I choose a darker colour for the outline but only colour in some of it, leaving some of the line art’s original colour. Mainly due to laziness, but it looks good so yay!!! I have no idea I this was helpful or not, but if it wasn’t at least you get the royal fruitcake and his pea.

Ziku, do you have any advice for the color technique? I really like how you apply shadows and lights.

My advice? start with grayscales.

using grayscales helps you distinguish the proper lighting without having to worry about the colors. It's also why I'm able to do the 1-hour pomnis: I could place the colors after I'm done with the lighting placement.

my process is this:

I first start off using airbrush, softly shading areas that don't get hit with light often.

I then proceed to roughly put of where should light hit with a light shade of gray, and how it affects the surrounding area with darker greys. The closer a solid object is to another, the harder the edges of the shadows are. I embrace the imperfection of my strokes, and do not perfect them at this stage since it would be a waste of time.

fun fact: you can make hard edges look more defined by placing a very light shade of gray. This is how I achieve the illusion of lighting hitting something on my art :)

once I'm done with the values, I move to coloring. I keep the strokes as loose as I did the lighting placements, because again. Imperfections HELPS. Glossy things like eyes, teeth and the apple are colored a bit darker, to make the shine pop later.

Apply a multiply layer above the colors between 15-30% depending (for this piece it's set to 26%), it's up to you if you want the multiply layer to be cooler colors, or warmer. I chose a saturated orange coloring for mine.

now this is my favorite part: glow dodge. Set to 100% and above every other layer except lineart, light dap it around using an airbrush where the light hits the most.

This part is mostly optional, since this is where I "clean up" the lineart by locking the layer, then color dropping the edges to "erase" most of the lines.

you don't have to do this, it's just easier for me for the rendering stage since it won't get in the way.

You can also go ahead and combine every layer (grayscales + colors + lineart and etc.) afterwards. This one is important.

all that's left to do now... is to render your painting.

and you render,

and you fucking trust the process even though Pomni looks like a stoned as fuck vampire with a receding hairline,

and you render. (and add more glow dodge for the glossy objects)

When I finish a painting, I actually apply a difference layer above it all to give it some flare,

to which after that I'll do a render noise, chromatic aberration, tone curve and posterization for final touches.

That is all :)

I would love insight into how you animate so smoothly in gmod

hi!! so i use the ragdoll mover and the stop motion helper add-ons :D

you use the timeline seen on the bottom of the screenshot to create your key frames and everything else in between ☝️ now i am no pro animator and what little i know ive picked up from various tutorial videos over the years....

stop motion helper has a great video tutorial for the very basics of how to use it! as for the process of animation itself well ummm i can really only link the 12 principles of animation, as i've mentioned that im no expert on the topic.

here's a video i made for the occasion--and i hope you don't mind, but i borrowed bolts for this demonstration ^_^ (i recognize the irony of using a robot to demonstrate fluid movements, but if other animators can use mannequins...)

had to put the video (unlisted ofc) on yt cause it got longer than i expected it to >_>

see the finished product below the cut!! had 2 mega compress it bc of tumblr's 10mb gif limit grrr but you can see it more clearly in the video anyway
