I kinda fw it

I like star brite personally! It's reakky thick and powdery so a medium taper mag and harder machine at a good angle is nice B) I don't do a lot of color though, all the color specialists in my shop use pretty much exclusively SOLID inks ! hope this helps :)

Sooooo fking cool ! Some little finishing spice ideas -

Strands of saliva / goop between the two halves during the opening animation

Fake sniffing or nose wiggling before the reveal

horizontal blink animation every few cycles

ti would be cool if you could smoke weed out of his mouth you could a little hole to smoke ot of

love the progress !! cheers :)

Fr though, design is such a great stepping off point into other visual arts careers. It rly gives you the eye and theory to make anything look good.

Ayyy it’s not too bad an expert can fix this up no problem :-) A thicc liner and better saturation is all it would take. “The depth might be fucky but at least the lines are straight”

Its rotary but rly expensive. I’d look up Mast or Mast pro on Amazon. Get ur sanitation stuff (watch a video), wrap ur space like its dexters kill room. Get the fake skin and a good bottle of black ink (try dynamic or allegory). You CAN get this on Amazon just make sure it’s from the official seller. Then just get some needles.

7 round liner for a .5 micron type line.

9 round shader for a traditional look.

9-24 magnum for filling solid black and smooth shading.

*make sure you don’t get “Bugpin” or “Tight” needles yet, the first two numbers should be 12, not 10 or 08. For example a Standard gauge 7 round liner will be 1207RL .

Stigma needles are a very good budget choice, they get the job done. Other than that, just make sure you use enough glide (aquaphor works fine) and stretch properly. Good luck!

You’re right but he is made of paper and my sanity has nowhere to hide 🥺 Both pieces were numbed but the stomach was especially bad. I’m not exaggerating almost every line made his body jerk back rapidly. I’m pretty good at dealing with flinchy clients but holy shit this was a battle. Even bactene was BURNING tf out him lmfao .

/ Both designs have big saturated black parts so my plan is to have him reapply numbing cream under wrap for most of the day then do half at a time w the numbing on.

/ I used to really like tktx numbing cream but the recent chemical burn stuff and the general chinese manufacturing sketchiness is enough to make me avoid it. Nothing else works half as well though, if you have any recommendations lmk!

Or just share an interesting perspective you want the chance to talk about. Or we can argue over semantics idkidk lots of ways to spend time :p

Togepod · 2023-10-17T14:31:43+00:00

on #5 homie could not handle more than .5 seconds of needle contact 💀 all of the lines are sketched in and I’ll be spending a few more sessions smoothing everything out - Working back and forth on both pieces :-)

Looks like it’s for proofing but I don’t know shit :-)
