Dren dev 04

 

This is the limit for now. Can't wait for krenz's class in June *_*

Esfir

 

Nice to feel concrete improvement once in a while 😁

Tell me you played Silksong without telling me you played Silksong

😭😭😭

Also just really wanted to take a stab at rendering transparent ice/crystal. Think it turned out aight
 

Black Rabbit Brotherhood

Took a full damn 1.5 years, but somehow finish it I did. So relieved to finally close this one forever

源仲

 

First live action fan art ever maybe??? And jfc is it warranted 😭

Struggled for literally a month to get the likeness down to (only) this degree. I can't tell any more :( 

Dev 03

 

Wanted to go for an action pose I'd been thinking of for years now. Lazied out and decided to stick with cell shading. Further dev certainly needed

Painted Alicia

 

Knew had to paint her since the very first cutscene 😁 Ugh why is this game's art direction so up my alley, even the black/gold art deco thing is straight up my branding 😭😭😭 

 Also took a deep dive into streaming starting with this piece 🤣

Dev 02

Wanted to draw a white ground and borrowed him to stand in. Ended with album cover vibes 😂

Dev 01

 

Started in oekaki, finished in Photoshop. One day I'll figure out what to do with you

Ducky

 

Gift commission for HP and Kelly, for Ducky's sudden passing :(

For once the process was smooth and went without a hitch. If it was for pure digital use I'd have gone with more extreme backlighting, but since it's for print, the bg needed to stay white, and therefore no heavyhanding the darks. Getting mobile game vibes as a result 😅

But, very nice as a confidence booster, like I can def get back into pumping shit out or something 💪

Dren

Time passes so fast once you remove the markers of productivity. Ah well, trying to get better at beating myself up less. There was still work afterall, just none of it ready to show (yet) 😂 At least this model is probably as done as it will ever get. All that's left is the rigging...and, afterwards, the huge looming question of wtf will I even do with it 🤣

On to the next

 

Kinda ridic how much of a struggle this was for a portrait. Or is that...every time? 😂

Line art test

 Well ummm, another first for everything? 😂 For a first shot at making comics (or sequential art of any kind for that matter, besides the one equally amateur shot at storyboarding almost 10 years ago), I think the panel logic most definitely needs a tender edit. But whatever man, the test was for line art. Let's see if this goes anywhere 🤣

Can you hear me?

 It's strange because it feels I work super slowly, super inefficiently, make tons of mistakes, could have streamlined everything so much better overall, and yet...somehow I'm still finding more free time than before? What is constant, though, is the frustration.

More. I need...more.

Romeo, King of Puppets

 "Pity we have to meet like this, though."

This game's aesthetic hits me in the spot so hard 😭😭😭

Avatar Academy

Art test for Nickelodeon's trainee program. Possibly another turning point if this flies 😂

Shadow

 

I'm not actually interested in Marika that much. All along it was just an excuse to draw more of this guy *-*

Update: Got removed from the official ER subreddit because mods marked this (and the last one with Marika) as AI. Guess it's another backhand-compliment-signifier that I've made it??? But if so, where are all my follows? :( :( :( Here's to hoping the appeal goes through and that FromSoft (if they ever actually look) dun also think am just a sham 😭😭😭

 

Update update: omg LOL 

There I have it, the reality check I needed to keep my head out of the clouds. Keep at it Jing, you ain't there yet, just as you always knew 💪

Marika, Maliketh

 

Take two! Better than last time but man, feeling the limits :/ 

How dare work get in the way? People tryna keep on a schedule over here

Making June count

 

Hitting it close...but it happened

Also this marks the first time some rando removed the sig/watermark and claimed the thing as theirs. Now I know I've made it 😂😂😂

First King

 

Struggled as usual, then slowed down, regrouped, and reevaluated the state of things (once more). I think I'm aight 😂
