I’m almost done with this particular page, but I didn’t have the stamina to continue after a while—although I’m working on rough drafts for future pages.
Also, I spent nearly an hour not knowing that this update to Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 and it’s brush tool literally happened five days ago, and I’m just...an extra level of annoyed that I thought that it was Lazy Nezumi, and I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the smoothing mode for an hour until I figured out that it was Photoshop itself.
On the extra cool side, it’s super cool to see that Photoshop actually has proper screentone stuff now. Really. I’m experimenting with it to see how I can use it better. (Although I’ll probably just get better over time anyway, tbh.)
I am super happy to call this finished. It’s not perfect, but it’s at the point where my personal standards are satisfied at this time.
I can finally go on to another page, and probably try to learn how to do things faster, I suppose.
I used up some spare chalk and charcoal for the sidewalk in front of my apartment's staircase. . . . . . #halloween #happyhalloween #skull #chalk #charcoal #chalkart #sidewalkart #halloweendecor #halloweendecoration (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4S-g0ODKKC/?igshid=ahmomsuyaw3g
I’m semi-proud of the fact that I did some 3D modeling recently.
I’m still not the best texturer in the world (even though 2D digital painting is something I’m super familiar with), but it’s something!
I’m just happy that I won’t have to do many streetlamps ever again...because I can just use my own model as a reference!
I forgot to upload this here, although I did it a while ago with a friend who I did a lot of design challenges with to keep both of our skills as sharp as possible. We tend to alternate who comes up with the theme, and it was his turn when we got to this one.
We basically tried to design something based around the Bruce Lee quote “Be Water, My Friend”— which is a really eloquent quote. We also had a time limit of about 45 minutes.
Anyway, I’ve made these into stickers a few times. They were actually really popular at the last exhibition I had my work in. Also, this is transparent for all of your transparent needs.
Lastly, I should also note that the overlaid image -is- public domain, but it’s the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, if you don’t know it.
This is my Day 1 for Inktober—and like a total nerd, I decided to draw a greyscale Alolan Muk for the theme of “Poisonous”.
I know Alolan Muk is super colorful, but I’m thinking that keeping the greyscale palette that I intend to keep for my (mostly neglected) webcomic would be good practice.
Current lessons in DuoLingo land; being specific about translating 写真 as “photo” as opposed to “picture” because it’s already a pet peeve of yours to call photographs “pictures” in ENGLISH, and that’s technically what’s going on here already…is apparently a penalty in Japanese.
Also, taking a more literal translation with 良い is also a penalty.
(I’m concerned about this happening with Mandarin soon, too, even if I’ve yet to encounter that at this time.)
I’ve decided to force myself to open up Photoshop again by taking a bunch of photos in unrealistic positions and make some glitch art out of it.
Now I should probably do actual work instead of being a dork with my own selfies.
I’ve been to a lot of places. :’D
…I just got a glitchy version of the taxes design a few minutes after I posted it.
I have no idea how that happened, but here.
I wish I didn’t have to wear glasses because I think I look significantly better without them, but I’m still quite fond of how I wear a suit.
Friend: Is Brendon Urie even real?
Me: I don't know, but even if he is a fever dream, he's A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
Greetings and salutations! I'm a graphic designer/illustrator, and this is my Tumblr. Feel free to check my about page for more info about me. Also, I only post my own things here—almost all reblogs will go to @dandyreblogs. Check that out if you're into aesthetics and other curious things.
