hiya all! how's your weekend? As for me, I spend it by playing Magic the gathering pre-release of Dark Ascension! oh my, new cards! New spells, reatures & token creature! woohoo!!

Like I mention earlier, my deck is a token deck, i.e it generate a lot of creatures with spells & creatures. So today i just sketch some of the token army in a very, very cute style!

More Xerone sketches! I Made these on Friday & saturday when overdosed by Queen's "We will rock you" + I am waiting for the punch card says "Time to go hooooome"

How I ink the banana way part 2

hiya all how the holiday over the Chinese New Year? for those who celebrate, Happy New Year & for those who don't Happy Holidays!

ok, with no further ado, to continue the last part, here's the second(last?) part!

4. Yay, the inking process is almost done! most of the shadow places are inked & the girl look more solid now compared to initial inking. turn off the sketch layer to see the artline better but....

 Noticed the artwork has some stray inking & look a bit messy so it's time to use the eraser!

5. Doing a little touch up... then..... the inking is completed!Well, not exactly, I may use screentones/patterns for her clothes, coloring etc but that can be for future. For now the inking process is finished

Below is the breakdown of the inking file. Usually I use less than 3 for inking as I often merge the eye & the detailing part to the basic inking layout

 

Thank you for reading, stay tune for more!

How I ink the banana way

1. sketch - Usually I set the PSD file to 300dpi, CYMK & in A4. Mostly I like to create new layer to sketh instead on the BG layer. But in this case, I just use the RGB setting instead. Brush is usually from pt9-14 (due it's 300 dpi) & the default hard brush. Nothing biggy, just sketch until you're satisfied with it

2. Then I use new layer to ink it. The sketch layer I set the opacity to 20-30% just that I can differentiate the sketch layer & the inking layer. I often use the same brush settings as my sketch. At the same time I made changes from my sketch when I am not so happy with the initial sketch (For this her hair clip). Another habit of mine is to separate the "eye" layer from the inking & use thicker brush to ink her upper eyelids.

3.Starts to ink the shadow parts of it. I determine the source of light is from upper left so I inked the places opposite from it. Usually I create a new layer for this, as to avoid mistakes & then erased the inking line...

to be continued.....

no I see no problem here

sometime I wonder my randomness in my scrambled brain will produce something like this

Distracted again... now craving to make a lady wearing armor. She's my old OC though... IMO the oldest....

More Rifling comic quick sketch

The internet is down in the office yesterday. While I was waiting for a colleague's response so I manage to sketch some of the comic pages of Rifling~ They are not really sequential & a few connecting pages are missing but these are the ones I drew yesterday.

Hope I can get some out by for this week's update on Rifling!

what a very boxy school XD

Snaky pervert guy... Poor Ally

Omake.. I dunno either I should put this or not XD

Maximum Cuteness!!!

 OMG tewldfywudf87o582345!!!!

I did this somewhere in end Nov-mid Dec, after unintentional urge to color. So I grabbed my tablet &  color away for 2-3 hrs on Photoshop. The end result is this little guy. Use a simple cell shading tech with layers + multiply effect. The lineart is from my friend N, I take no credit on this beautiful artwork except the coloring.
You can browse her DA here

I want to do a Tiger & Bunny fanart based on the photo I got from Fotolia, Although the outfit suits Bunny more, but the whole old car have Kotetsu's vibe doncha think?

On the positive side I started to sketch on the second Rifling's chapter (although only the possible cover lulz) The gun on top is just a ref on his gun so it's not his real gun XD will gambare masho!
