Floatharrさんのイラストまとめ

I was supposed to do multiple dolphins but I had too much fun with this. Blending afterwards didn't really work so I left the edges in. Has an interesting flow and texture to it. Maybe a little distracting though, needs experimentation o.O

Paint on a temp layer, merge down after every shape after checking that it's clean. That way I don't change what's already working, and make sure every addition is a step forward. Feels efficient. Idea is loosely borrowed from version control systems used in software development.

Drew my current VRChat avatar today. I may have been playing that game kind of a lot lately, and I really like how my avatar turned out :P

Feels like totally new territory for me when thinking about coloring choices based on how the image reads and what story it tells. Didn't end up making a ton of sense from a realistic standpoint, but they ended up having a pleasant visual punch and interest to them.

Focusing today on what's the minimum amount of information I can put into the color layer so it can stand on its own without lines, and conveys the identity of the animal in question. Pretty tricky, as it turns out o.O

The colors add so much punch to these compared to yesterday, even though I got half as many done in the same time. To keep things efficient I ignored all the lighting and materials because I felt like the base color conveys all of the design information.

Coloring faces is weird. Felt like as soon as I added any color anywhere the whole thing was completely off. Compromised with a flat face and rendered hair, sort of works. The drawings are starting to work mostly alright now, despite lacking visual variety o.O

I was looking at a bunch of Dishonored 2 screenshots I took while painting this. The city basically turned into Karnaca but I'm ok with that. A 3 color B&W sketch to start with helped to nail down the composition a bit earlier. Still feels like I can't quite make it look right...

First morning stream done. Definitely had a positive impact, more energy, long stream! I had a raw chicken leg open as reference so I ended up making a meat thing. The oily smudge brush works a lot better when you "dry" the layer underneath by painting on a new layer on top.

Ended up trying to work out this angular flat rendering style again. A square brush helps a lot with it. Hard to get a balance between how many shades to use and how small shapes. Mostly just an excuse to doodle frogs and listen to good music today :D
