Day 8: Match

I've very recently learned how to make the glow effect work, and it works really well. The fire itself it a bit stiff. I was trying to make sure the edges had a sort of ambient glow, but I wasn't very careful, so it doesn't look as good. I could hold off posting it to fix things, but I'm looking ahead at the list, and I feel like there's some other stuff I'll need to spend more time on to maybe look okay. Otherwise, I think the lighting of the match itself is a bit off, probably should be some more mid-tone. Being in a void is a bit boring, but as usual, I've mostly been using these prompts as tests.

My day 7: Trip

Kohaku from Dr Stone. She's memey because her eyes are ridicuously far apart.

Day 4: Scallop

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/1/2/AAR0xcAADwXA.jpg

Kinda rushed this one. I dont know why I decided to draw full blown characters for my next drawings which is why I'm taking so long. Gonna cut down on it.

Wip for my next one

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/1/3/AAR0xcAADwXB.jpg

Good looks from everyone, glad I haven't seen anyone stress about being behind, that'd be the worst long-term.

Day 9: Nest

I probably could have worked harder on the nest itself, it's pretty evident that I was just using a cross-hatching tool. Even doing that, it probably could have been made to look more natural. I originally had the nest way smaller, then realized that wasn't right. So I didn't make adjustments to fully compensate. Otherwise, I kinda like the look of the egg. I'm still using a lazy way of shading trees/leaves. It'd be good if I figured out something better.

I'm ahead but I'm just postin' as the day comes. I'm gonna go back and finish up a few.

Day 4: Scallop

Am I the only one who only learned how terrifying live scallops are from looking up reference for this prompt? So many teeth. So many eyes. D:

Lol that's pretty good

I was very happy with this idea.

Adventure time fan I see.

I really really like that Flame Princess match. Not just the creativity, but you were a lot more deliberate with the lighting, and it looks very good.

Day 10: Crabby

I've mostly been using Inktober to try out some new things, which is fine, but I'd say I actually tried decently hard on this piece to make it look good. I'd appreciate if people had any thoughts on it.

https://imgur.com/a/WwAjInG

Imgur link is basically a combination of what I was going for. The character and the way of coloring.

Day 5: Flame
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/9/9/AADHstAADwpj.jpg
Spent way too long on the dragon and its face still looks real goofy. Anyway, there's a little bit of actual flame in the pic, so it counts.

Thanks a ton! I'd been excited to do that one.

It looks kinda like the geckos outside of my house I love it.

My day 9: Nest.

It's a cosmic spider that weaves new worlds after eating corrupted ones.

Day 5: Flame

Don't know why I decided to try and draw my Warrior of Light as a blue mage summing fire, but yeah lol.

That's real purty. The blue planet it's moving in on looks familiar. I wonder what it could be.

@PerseusRad

Bro roses are fucking HARD like I can do 1 rose easy but this was torture. And I'm def gonna finish this one in my usual style later on..

Tsumetai hono!

Day 11: Eagle

This is one of those that I knew was gonna be a pain. I started off attempting an actual eagle, but I had 0 motivation. So I switched to doing an offmodel and offcolor Apollo. Could have worked harder on it, but I really didn't want to do this one. Not looking forward to 'Fowl' either.

Is it off model? I immediately recognized him lol. Also the combo of that shading with the rough lines on the feathers and jacket is super charming.

I agree with Hambo. Immediately recognized Apollo.

Anyway here's Crabby I guess:

Day 6: Bouquet

Broke: learning to draw roses and going through all the trouble of drawing no fewer than a dozen of them. Woke: not doing that.

My wife did a similar thing for Bouquet after hearing me complain about the roses.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/8/5/AADHstAADxCV.jpg
My closest attempt yet at the Mario Strikers style. It's a little messy in a lot of places and a little tame in others, but it looks so cool in the official art that I wanted to try it again lol.

I love the exaggerated angles. It really brings it to life.

For Eagle, I decided to do something I can also sell as a sticker/t-shirt:

Full res will be on my instagram and reddit.

They really need to turn this into manga series.

Nice to see everyone's work. Haven't done anything today, though I'm already caught up. These next few prompts rely a bit more on imagination. Got an idea for 1/3, but that 1 is the last of the 3. I'll think of something.

Day 12: Forget

In retrospect, I should have referenced a drawing of a colored flower alongside the reference. It was simple enough that I probably could have made it look decent, but I wasn't very motivated to draw another flower.

I'm skipping ahead a day (I'll go back) because I wanted to go ahead and get this out. It was pretty quick to do when I'm mostly just abusing screentones.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/3/AAZRZrAADxLD.jpg

Day 14: Empty

Proportions and hatching could have been done better or in more interesting ways, but this is basically what I wanted out of it. Originally there weren't gonna be screentones at all, but I felt it accentuated it. Might've gone overboard with it though.

I got mad respect for hatching. I'm pretty bad at it. Warning for tomorrow I was HELLA lazy with "forget" but I love how my "kind" is coming along.

Day 8: Match
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/9/6/AADHstAADxL4.jpg
Kind of a sequel to a drawing I did last month. I was lazy and sloppy with the lighting in a drawing where light is an important element, but whatevs lol.

Also that Empty is real neat.

Day 9: Nest
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/2/5/AADHstAADxVt.jpg
This is a tribute to the birds in my backyard, who consistently build the most dogshit nests I've ever seen. Here's to you, you little feathery idiots.

Day 10: Crabby
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/4/6/AADHstAADxcS.jpg
I'm ever so slowly catching up lol. Apologies if the bright red on blue is painful to look at.

I didnt skip "forget" but heres day 13: Kind

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/3/AATb69AADxel.jpg

The Kingdom Hearts Animatic inspired me to finish my level 1 run in KH1, so I've been doing that. I have an idea for 'Kind', at least. Might be late though.

Day 13: Kind

Not used to drawing cartoon characters, it's kind of interesting. I messed up on the mouth area, and by the time I realized, it was hard to fix without bigger redraws and recolors. I fixed it a bit, but eh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Iyg6gQZFhc

That's the animatic I was referencing, and I tried to draw one of the frames myself.

"Technically" none of us drew gargoyles lol. Anyway, your aardvadillo is super freakin adorable.

Well I drew something called a gargoyle technically, but yeah, it's about the spirit of the thing I suppose. It's called a haardvark or something. I'd forgotten the name. I pretty much copied the official art for it, but changed the skull, I guess to add something of a challenge to it.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/9/9/AAZRZrAADx0j.jpg

Day 16: Fowl.

Kind of another lazy one. I really don't like these animal prompts very much, so I'm just rushing them out ahead of schedule. I decided to look for a brush that would be able to get a similar effect as feathers on a bird, I think this was pretty close.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gargoyle

Definition of gargoyle
1
a
: a spout in the form of a grotesque human or animal figure projecting from a roof gutter to throw rainwater clear of a building
b
: a grotesquely carved figure
2
: a person with an ugly face

Apparently I classify as a gargoyle. I guess I need to stand on my roof and pee off the edge more often.

I finished the KH1 level 1 stuff by doing all the super bosses. Sephiroth was tough. Time to start drawing again.
