And here's the very final style test! I switched to thinner and grittier lines with hatching due to the fact that I didn't feel as though thick lines would adequately express what I wanted for this comic, especially motion and expression-wise. Time for test pages and outline!

Hayao Miyazaki's watercolors for Rowlf, based on a comic by Richard Corben, about a princess who's kidnapped by demons. Miyazaki had wanted to adapt it into a film in 1980. Corben, who's comic was grittier, didn't like the softer style & more childlike concept Miyazaki proposed.

See, this is why I trade-wait almost everything now. How in God's name am I suppose to choose between gorgeous cover of every Super ever (look at Krypto's smile!) and life-long favorite artist drawing the grittiest Superman image I've ever seen....?

Here's a montage of one of my favourite artists, Dame Laura Knight. Some of her grittier ones.

Like other aspects of sparrow life - such as feeding, drinking, dust bathing and courtship - 'gritting' is an opportunity for a bit of a social gathering and the inevitable chirruping dispute.

Hey there! I love working with intense/dramatic lighting in my pieces and adding some grittiness to my art. You can see more of my work on my website. If you like what you see, feel free to either DM or contact via email!

The third artist, , was advertising "charcoal-style comms" on twitter, and I immediately knew I needed one. Skolly used this art style to bring out the grittier, more rogue-like aspects of the character, as well as the racial aspects of Draconians (venom in particular).

For better or worse, I feel like my brushwork is way tidier nowadays. This kind of looser and rougher style really adds a grittier feeling, but I've just become so meticulous haha

There's no grittier tale than of good people struggling to stay good and kind amidst darkness.
Giving in is easy. I give in to my fears every day. To NOT give in is always a struggle.
To me, Superman & who hold on to their values in the face of deepest cuts are heroes.

I really, really, really, really LOVE 's Nuns. The lore is so good!!!! I'm honestly a huge fan of the dark grittiness of them as well and just had to do some fan art of the main gal <3

Yasmine is a witch-for-hire with questionnable morality. She's the main character of a comic project yet to be named. It's gonna be grittier and more adult, definitely a departure from what I usually do. But I'm super excited to tell you more about this character, in 2021-2022!

Alright, more Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, but this one's a bit lower-key. First sketched for the core rulebook, but only painted for the Power Behind the Throne Companion, I love the grittiness of 'Animal Trainer'.

Roland looks like a grittier version of this design from the Octopath book. (I still think he's beta Erhardt) Both men are pretty blonde boys with a braid and just generally got that royal/noble look that I adore so much.

I love how I have such a type.

CW: BLOOD

Can't spoiler tag this but, here's a more grittier fan poster of 's film inspired by the likes of John Wick. Completely non-canon obviously, but let's just assume if anyone hurt Chegg, Chester would totes go full John Wick
