So, this is a while after the initial announcement, but I'm hosting a DTIYS Event for a drawing I made of a scene from chapter 3 of Visions, and I thought I'd post it here so it could reach more folks! It didn't seem necessary to make it into a competition, because it didn't feel right to involve a prize or anything, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone else has ever hosted a DTIYS? It's voluntary of course, I'm just not sure what the standards are for these or how to encourage interaction. BUT I'll attach both the discord announcement and the original image so anyone who'd like to draw it can download it as a reference. You can post drawings in my discord (there's a channel for it) or on here and tag me!
@morrogatari HOLY FUCKING SHIT IM FINALLY DONE HERE IT IS CONGRATULATIONS ON 200 OKAY TIME TO YAP
its not as interesting or dynamic as the one i showed you earlier but okay let me explain this. so i have her holding her hands up to her eyes in the see no evil gesture right BUT you see how shes still looking through her fingers BECAUSE you also said she still sees everything. boom best of both worlds or whatever. i wanted to add the blindfold so i sorta have it covering her mouth alluding to the speak no evil gesture?? idk i just wanted the funky eye blindfold. i tried to make it look directly at you AND shes also looking directly at you cause she sees everything,, you see what i did there,, uuhuuhhh you see. i dont really have an explanation for the glowing eyes in the bg i just thought they would be cool and i did end up covering her dogs i aint learning how to draw bare dogs. i also tried to make it a sort of higher angle her robe and the hair behind her is spread out on the floor i hope that came through. one thing im unexplainably proud of is the chains LOOK AT THEM
AND THE FABRIC SHADING I THINK I CAME IN CLUTCH its a little messy cause i could not find a reference for the LIFE OF ME anyways more versions below of course
no shading and without the black hands and legs cause lowkey i forgot they were darker until the end
also look at what i was fucking doing with the rendering. i don’t know where i learned this from but i set it to overlay (the orangey one) and i just put more green over top
Well, it was one year ago today that I started Replica! It’s been a wonderful experience so far and I wanted to do something fun to show my appreciation to you all! So in celebration I want to do my very first DTIYS, but we’re going to do this one a little differently.
YOUR MISSION: to design a comic cover for the upcoming Replica Holiday Special that is all about the birth of Casey Jr:
The year is 2028, eight years before the start of Replica. The Central Park Colony is still going strong and the turtles now must protect an expecting Cassandra Jones from the very people they are sworn to defend.
As far as theme that is entirely up to you! I’ve always found comic covers to be fun because they don’t necessarily have to show what happens in the actual story. So if you want Casey Senior holding up Junior on Pride Rock, Lion King style? That’s great. You want to do an epic pose of the turtles battling Krang while trying to defend the Caseys? Perfect. You want to have Casey Junior bursting out of a Krang’s stomach like a Xenomorph??? Okay weird, but I’ll accept it so long as it’s not too gory! Also the cover doesn’t have to be Casey centric, I just want to see what you all come up with! (Note: please no NSFW art)
I have included character sheets and some visual development as reference for how the characters will look at this point in the story (though you do not need to strictly follow it. Feel free to give it your own artistic twist). I will also include a PNG of the logo in case you have a vision for how you want it to be incorporated. Note you don’t have to use the logo but if yours is picked as the winner I will be putting a logo in there somewhere!
PRIZES:
3rd Place: an OC of yours will get to be a bg character in Replica (note the character cannot be an AU version of one of the main cast for obvious reasons).
2nd Place: a black and white commission of one character of your choosing.
1st Place: your cover front and center in the Replica lineup (with credit of course) as well as a 1-2 character commission w/ color (please no nsfw requests for either commission).
DUE DATE: NOVEMBER 19 (gives you all 2 months)
IMPORTANT: please use #replica DTIYS hashtag for easy search
Also please DM me with your finished cover on Tumblr (otherwise I might miss it!)
NOTE: while not mandatory you’ll probably want the piece to be around the typical comic cover vertical 2:3 ratio (10x15" for example).
DISCLAIMERS:
I’ve never done an event like this before so I’ll admit I’m a little nervous. Don’t know if this will even gain any traction but I just want people to have good time and get creative :)
This is all just for fun so please do not push yourself too hard!
Let me know if you have any other questions and have fun!
So a while ago I did a DTIYS challenge on my Insta (@Akhtsjrep) for hitting 2k, and the prize was to feature the winner's vision of their orientation as a cameo. Fellow aroace @lierskull001 won, so here's a comic featuring the two forms of their OC Anny, representing a... Tbh very relatable view on the aroace experience imo.
Thanks again for participating and trusting me with your OC^^
I got a question, did Jay killed the sky pirates? Because, I notice in your first comics that Jay's hands/gloves and cutlass were all covered with blood.
The Sham | Origins P■
Yes...
And no xD
unfortunately the blood that's on Jay in the first comic is a bit of both from the sky pirates and his own blood and he didn't use a cutlass.
And Thank you @sharksandjays for the sketch commission from your dtiys! I took a long time to respond to this because ever since ya asked this I've had a vision and I just so happen to win a sketch commission from a talented artist and i just had to jump into the opportunity to create my vision!
Here's the original sketch from shark and i tried to make sure to keep the shark's sketch in the illustration as much as possible! Because i wanted to go into this with the mind set as if it was a unintentional collab xD
i went back and forth on whether or not this counted for @quezify ‘s DTIYS, but in the end i decided that the half-asleep vision of a fungus infected pigeon that caused me to draw this was probably subconsciously influenced by euthanasia, so close enough !
!!! A joint "whoa, those are some big numbers" DTIYS celebration post, both because oh my goodness, there's 3k of you?! And also because oh my goodness, over 1k kudos on ao3 for I'm Sorry, Teenage Mutant What Now?! ; w ; Thank you gang!!!
There are no deadlines or prizes or anything like that! We're just having fun and being goofy, hehe.
Feel free to get silly with the drawing. Draw the boys as above! With your own human designs! In turtle form! As your AU or iteration version! etc. etc. I trust y'all's creative vision.
If you do participate, I will be absolutely tickled, so pretty please @ me and tag with #tangled1k3kdtiys
In honor of Jeff Satur's kinky obsession with his own clones/alters and the galaxy brain of @acekimagenda I present you with 'I will consume you' but make it jeffcest dtiys prompt!
Reblog this post with your artistic vision of the Jeff version of the VegasPete bathtub scene or post separately and tag #jeff satur dtiys.
Obviously feel free to use whatever reference pictures you want or use the ones below. Can't wait to see what y'all come up with!
Oooof, my DTIYS is over and it's time for the hardest part - choosing winners (istg, that was really hard lmao-)
Thank you sm, everyone who participated!!! You might not realize how happy I am that ppl reblogged and participated!!! All of the entries were beautiful, honestly, I'm p sure a lot of ppl might disagree with me and the works I chose as winners because it was honestly not about the technic or how good the art was but my own taste and vision. Love y'all, you're the best nevertheless <3
unto the winners we shall move on, amirite now
THIRD PLACE!
@aeliem
holy hell do I love this work- the colors, the shading... And Night's expression. This work genuinely makes me soso happy. Oh, and I love the way fire is drawn.
Prize: a colored and shaded piece with a background (1 character)
SECOND PLACE(S)!!
@calciumdreams
The sketchy tentacles- Yes.
The atmosphere and the dreaminess (how ironic) of this work is just incredible. The shading, the background, it's all just... sheer beauty.
aaaand-
@ksopaz
I just... couldn't choose. I love both works so much. Honestly, the rating would change depending on my mood. This work though... It feels like a book illustration? Like something you would see in a fairytale... I love its texture, its colors, the pose, the shades, the everything. Brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.
Prize: a colored and shaded piece with a background (up to 2 characters)
AND THE FIRST SPOT ON THE LIST GOES TO...
@faerein29
holy shit. Do I really have to comment on it? I'm p sure everyone can see everything for themselves. And, dare I say, I think I wouldn't able to describe this work. The only word that comes to my mind is "powerful". And, in a way, I think it is indeed the best way to describe this picture.
Prize: a colored and shaded piece with a background (up to 3 characters)
Wellwellwell, that is it then! Thanks everyone yet again! Those who reblogged, liked, subscribed and participated!
