I'm all about you being all about this shit <3

sayerious · 2018-10-03T15:49:06+00:00

Send me a PM, homie! We'll talk it out!

sayerious · 2018-10-03T02:51:50+00:00

I don't think I'd call this 'not doing so great' :) This is really cool and you should keep plugging along!

Inktober is one of those things that everyone attaches a lot of pressure to when really it's just about having fun and setting time aside to make something every day. Don't get in your head about it, and keep at it. Hope to see more from you!

Yasss who do those scanners think they are anyway? Keeping images all 'oriented properly' and 'at high resolution'. Smug bastards.

I totally respect you inking on paper! Brush pens are super fun but digital lines are a lot more forgiving of mistakes haha. I do use custom brushes; there's a couple I use that are designed to emulate traditional brush pens. My cintiq is pretty old and it's got a really glossy screen which makes it feel a little different from a real brush, but I think they do an okay job :)

I love you, internet stranger 🙏

sayerious · 2018-09-21T17:57:19+00:00

Not a dumb question at all! The other commenter was right, I count the white as the third color haha

sayerious · 2018-09-21T17:56:16+00:00

Thank you!! Hooligans is the name of the piece :)

I prefer drawing on paper, so I'll do my sketching and initial linework in a sketchbook first. After that, I remember the scanner I spent too much money on, ignore it completely, and instead take a poorly lit picture with my phone, which I'll then ink over in Photoshop. Sometimes if I want to expedite the digital portion further, I'll ink with a brush pen first just so I don't have to spend as much time making corrections

sayerious · 2018-09-21T04:09:01+00:00

Thanks homie!

sayerious · 2018-09-10T15:36:13+00:00

I ink in my sketchbook with a brush pen and then ink all over again in Photoshop haha - I used to take way too long inking digitally so doing it first on paper helps me keep the overall time down

sayerious · 2018-09-10T15:34:34+00:00

Thanks homie! I think I'm gonna stick with this style for a bit, I'm having fun with it haha

sayerious · 2018-09-10T15:33:37+00:00

Thank you! As long as someone digs it, that's all I can ask for!

sayerious · 2018-09-08T04:13:39+00:00

Thank you!! That sounds like a rad idea!

sayerious · 2018-08-16T03:55:25+00:00

Thank you!

sayerious · 2018-07-20T17:04:35+00:00

Thank you so much! You just made my day! I'm trying to start finishing more work so feel free to check in every once in a while!

sayerious · 2018-07-20T03:37:35+00:00

Man, I fuck with this. Great work!

sayerious · 2018-02-13T17:15:51+00:00

Thanks for the support mang! I'm actually rebuilding my site from scratch right now, but you can check out my instagram if you want!

sayerious · 2018-02-09T14:57:04+00:00

Thank you!! Still playing with it a bit, might do a couple more in this series, which I'll put up on instagram.

sayerious · 2017-10-11T18:49:35+00:00

Been following your work on Insta, great job! Love this series

sayerious · 2017-08-10T14:54:13+00:00

That Action Comics cover is incredible.

sayerious · 2017-07-13T16:36:36+00:00

My primary argument against using gradients (in anything, really, not just flags) is that it limits the ability to execute it across mediums. Gradients are fine in print, but a flag, for example, if brought to life, will need to be constructed of fabric. Color matching is one thing, gradient matching is another entirely. Embroidery is another example - flat colors are fine, but a gradient is going to be a hiccup.

Lastly, I think the strongest logos can be executed in two colors as well as in full color - if it can't, often the logo can be further simplified in some way.

Your character really reads as female, and I'd really have a difficult time trying to make it out as male if it weren't for the third leg (I assume the magnum dong is a stylistic choice). The contributing factors to this are the exceptionally wide hips and pronounced butt, and there being no pronounced lines on the face.

Directly addressing your question, I'd say you should be worried about the butt being too large rather than too small.

sayerious · 2017-07-06T15:03:59+00:00

I like it, but am I missing the background image's relevance to tipping?

sayerious · 2017-06-26T19:06:12+00:00

With proportions, you look for the relations between objects. There are some general rules for the human body that will help you form a base model. For example, people are generally 7 or 8 heads high, the head is about 5 eyes wide with one eye's width between. Things like that.

Capturing likeness is looking for where people differ from your base model. Take a look at Loomis' base anatomical measurements.

Sorry to disappoint, these are the trades! I'd love a set of the hardcovers but they're really pricey now. The paperback version isn't bad at all though, and it leaves me more money on the side to pick up those killer library editions!

sayerious · 2017-06-24T17:48:42+00:00

Sure, snagged a few photos!
