welcome to the compound
Been playing with both colors and pushing poses and shapes a bit more, since I figure as long as I want to screw with comics, I should keep pushing expression where I can. I’m not sure how suited a more painterly approach is to this kind of stuff, but it doesn’t look horrible either. I think I like the hard edged 90’s anime style shading more for this.
I have the Eva-02 pic as my phone wallpaper to shame me into attempting to do better.
Methinks I need to figure out a good way to do hair in this style… I wanted to see how the hard/low opacity brush approach from my Eva-02 pic would look on a human character and it kind of loses definition around the… everything organic.
I always kinda figured if I did Eishi in an action setting she’d be a dual-pistols type for some reason. Seems like it goes well with her other distinct “parts” being paired, I guess. I dig girls in armor.
I’ve been on a massive Armored Core 3 kick after a friend sold me his Vita cheap and I installed it from the PSN without bothering to transfer the saves through the PC. I’m shooting for 100% completion this time and hit 92% today! Pursuing this has taught me the importance of a lot of parts I’d never actually bothered with in other runs, like the CROW stealth extensions, ECM pods and the “cheat part,” OP-INTENSIFY.
After playing the rest of the series, sans PS1 installments, AC3 and its followups feel even more like the ‘sweet spot’ of the franchise than before. I love games where equipment has real benefits and weaknesses beyond just a steady march of incremental upgrades to make stats go up. Missions have LOADS more variety in both environment and goals, too.
(I may post something else later on if I get to doodling during Gotham, but Mondays are probably going to largely be “meh” days on here while I’m doing this daily thing since I wind down early for a power nap before the night shift.)
