#I think maybe the combination of hyper realistic meticulously shaded details with increasingly distorted and unnatural anatomy

[giantkillerjack]

I am trying so hard to learn how to recreate junji ito's style, and I literally think that the line work is so detailed that my poor little crippled wrists are not up to the task

But! I think I have figured out a way to work around that using pre-made cross-hatching brushes in clip studio! Which means hopefully I can focus on getting down the major shapes of his illustrations, and then i can learn how to fill in the ludicrous amount of tiny tiny little lines digitally!

and THEN I am going to draw characters from the video game Don't Starve Together in that style! And vice versa. I would love to draw a cute little chibi of Tomie 😈☠🙀

Time to crack into the file entitled "scary boi jail" that I keep on both my phone and my computer, so I can trace a bunch of panels from Uzumaki.

Happy Twisted Flesh Tuesday, everyone!!

#original #junji ito #dst #tomie junji ito #Don't Starve #Don't Starve Together #my end goal is to better develop my stylization and horror skills overall and the best way #to learn is to just draw literally whatever makes me happy #can't believe it's Saturday and it's already Twisted Flesh Tuesday #both styles make heavy use of crosshatching and spirals. I think I can do something with that #oh my poor little wrists #I would never care so much about cross-hatching usually but it really does seem to make his work way more upsetting? #and that is the skill set we are here to build after all. I really like horror art. and it's important to my graphic novel #I think maybe the combination of hyper realistic meticulously shaded details with increasingly distorted and unnatural anatomy #maybe the reason his stuff makes my fucking skin crawl. more testing is needed. this basically happens every time I engage with his work #we'll see how far this particular wave of hyperfocus gets me #all I want is to be a master of Horror and also to draw the scariest version of Maxwell from don't starve that anyone's ever drawn #is that so much to ask? #scary boi jail is where all the scary art references I find live. it is 90% junji ito #in case it wasn't clear the twisted flesh is not my own admittedly janky joints it is a hallmark of this horror style i want to emulate #if I can recreate a style then I can incorporate the parts I like best into my own style.
