Slayers Artober, Collected vol. 2

Slayers Artober, Collected vol. 2 published on No Comments on Slayers Artober, Collected vol. 2

Day 6- Idol Costume: I’d kind of like to go back and clean this one up. It’s actually done some Numbers and got retweeted by Rui Araizumi which is always hype and like the one thing I’ll miss about the site once it finally explodes. I have kind of mixed feelings about the abstract airbrush backgrounds I’ve been doing but it feels like it makes things a little less dull than just drawing on plain backdrops.

Day 7- The Magic Touch: This was hard to settle on an idea for given how many ways you can depict magic in Slayers so I wound up thinking about that scene in season 1 where Lina spends a while crafting amulets to sell. She’s supposed to be sprinkling powder on a lump of crystal but it kind of looks more like she’s zapping it. Not a fave tbh. Shoujo bubble brush in the background is kinda nice though.

Day 8: Destructive Savior: Originally I was going to have Lina shouting “Hey, I got your wallet back!” but I think it speaks for itself pretty well. People seemed to like this one.

Day 9: Divine Conflict- I’d never really tried to draw Shabranigdu before but I’ve done dragons. Probably could have replayed the episode where Lina tells their origin story for a better look at their full forms but I kind of just worked from memory and wiki screencaps.

Day 10: Super-deformed- Drawing a chibi basically felt like a ‘free space’ prompt. I always liked that bit in Try where Zelgadis spends the entire episode strumming guitar by himself, even when the haunted ship goes down. Honestly it was kind of more interesting how many younger fans didn’t seem to know the term “Super Deformed” for cute mini characters and drew like, weird, warped versions or surreal poses. Not gonna lie, for a minute I was thinking of drawing someone under the ‘turned into a chunk of meat being eaten by a snake forever’ curse since I like to take prompts in weird directions but decided to be… kinda normal. Also I did this to go with it.

In general, when I do these prompt lists, I like to strive to be ‘different’ in some way since I know a lot of fan artists default to glamor shots or shipping as subjects. No shade or anything, they’re having fun and some are definitely good at it. I’ve just always kind of been more into the action, adventure and comedy side of the series and try to put a sense of ‘fun’ into all my sketches through poses or picking subjects that are kinda out there. Hopefully I can keep it up! Day 11’s pic is going to have to wait, though, it’s late and I’m kind of under the weather so I’ll play catch up on my day off.

Theth out.

The Path Of Explosions

With RGL’s Shmuptember marathon coming to an end and Steam’s shmup sale apparently beginning, I am “eating good,” as the kids apparently say. Got to show off Grand Cross, Graze Counter and a bit of Zeroranger, play Twinkle Star, Deathsmiles and Star99 with friends, and got some stuff I want to try out soon. All in all, it was a really great weekend even if I worked through most of it. Anyway. Have a sketch dump!

I’ve not been sharing new art on Twitter lately due to the new TOS thing about them owning the rights to repost/reuse/train machines on all of your data but I haven’t committed to deleting my account since it seems like the majority of people still use it. Bluesky ain’t bad though. Cohost is cozy but seems to really only connect me to a small slice of people I know, and Tumblr is Tumblr. (In all seriousness, Tumblr doesn’t seem to have as much of a PC witch-hunting experience as it used to, I think the porn purge forced most of the really preoccupied folks to Twitter, which ironically seemed to lead to a reverse exodus when Shitty Bruce Wayne took over)

Force Of July

Just a quick update as the weekend and my freedom draws to a close, last week was the first ‘normal’ feeling one in a while and my energy is finally leveling off, despite the summer skipping straight past ‘Yay, summer!’ temperatures to sticky, greasy uncomfortable mugginess. I’m much more of a winter guy, but the smell of sunblock before I go riding or my neighbor’s chintzy Americana/beach life decorations makes me kind of wish I’d made time to see the ocean this year. I hope to post art a bit more often after rearranging my PC desk but still fool around with the drawing app on my phone before I hit the sack most evenings.

Art Repart

I’ve been putting a serious effort into improving the quality of my line art and coloring lately, and finally kind of feel like I’m kind of… happy with it? I still wanna tweak my avatar’s design to be a little less ‘smol’ looking but the overall look of the saggy jacket and white bangs i dig. Originally the concept was for there to just be a patch over the missing eye to kind of imply whatever happened to it bleached it, but I kind of liked the light front part after settling for it in a picrew a while back.

Been in a mood to draw Radona a lot lately, for some reason, but I’ve also been back on my plane girl kick again thanks to back to back USAF Museum visits. It was nice to get some direct input on some of the ‘lore’ stuff I’ve been kicking around and I feel like I’m going in a good direction.

Also, been playing with a sketch app on my phone that’s actually decent(!) and found a good stylus for the tiny-ass screen. If anyone’s wanting a pretty robust art program with a freebie version, IbisPaint has been very good to me so far. Seal of approval or something goes here.

Unfortunately, said phone is also kind of on the fritz and probably going to need replaced, which I’m dreading since I spent the afternoon setting everything back up from factory resetting the thing. Customer service line keeps repeating the same “have you tried turning it off and on” line and this all started after a firmware update so I have a feeling it’s something they can’t actually fix on their end. Bleah.
