爆発の心から

真ん中から、爆発
CG, 2013

まずは感じを表す絵を描きたかった、下絵から絵画になってきました。

最近、展覧会などのために描いておきていました。先週はリーデキンを初公開い行いました。皆さんをお疲れ様で、リーデキンマンガを発表し、自分の絵画がすごい展覧会で出展し、わくわくしていましたよ。リーデキンには、様々な画家の絵をマンガに集まっています。

来週は、キャンベラの「The Young Ones 」(「若者」)という展覧会で「瘴気」や他の絵画を出展します。展覧会でドンドン出展していて、良かったです~。この展覧会の画家や撮影者は皆二十五歳以下んです…自分はすぐ二十五歳以上になりますが、来週はまだ大丈夫です。;;まだ「若者」と言われると、こんな展覧会で出展すれば、よろしかったですね。(笑)

 

Make-up test

Those of you following me on tumblr will have seen this image come up again…and again…and again…at various stages in the process. This was a test on two things: to create a mostly realistic portrait of one of my characters, and to finally get around to doing an improved version of the previous make-up test, this time by giving myself a base face, and then painting on top of that, with the final goal of getting something looking like a fashion shoot.

Here’s a quick summary of the things I learned/did:

  • I like to refine a picture.
  • It’s hard to see in the web-friendly versions, but for the top two faces I textured the skin by running a dry-brush over it, following the main muscles. This had the side effect of lightening the skin and unifying the colour – and I also used it to exaggerate the saturation in some parts. Next time I’ll try using a sponge instead.
  • I’m a bit less apprehensive of soft-edge, glazy brushes now. This picture made much more use of soft gradations and gentler edges than what I’m normally used to.

June is for concepts and livestreaming

This month will be full of writing, planning and concept work!

Here’s a quick environment painting from imagination. Restricted myself to four tones for use throughout the image. Don’t think I quite got it, so I’ve set up a palette for my next black and white environment sketch that allows for three tones within three separate planes (nine tones total. Nine! I’ll be thoroughly spoilt.)

Also, here’s what that concept work looks like. I’m leaving this character’s weapon mutable, and I’ve left out some of the studies I did to get her to that broad silhouette. Readers of The Thing That Should Not Be might recognise this character…

And here’s a not terribly quick speedpaint. I referenced a shot of BigBang’s Daesung from the Monster music video.

I used to be a reluctant k-pop fan, and then I saw how awesome YG music videos were :B

Technical painting talk: Restricted myself to four tones for the initial value painting, then allowed to play a little bit more once I started laying down the colours. Also the first time I’ve worked from a gamut, which was very exciting! Overall painting took maybe two hours. I need to get back into painting more quickly and more often! I’ve livestreamed most of this painting, which you can find at my livestream channel here. Warning for length, this one clocks in at an hour and a half. I hope to do another livestream soon! 🙂
