I decided to redraw a redraw of a portrait a short while ago. I actually have a small backlog of artworks and sketches that I constantly forget to post here
I tend to draw everything with the same soft pillow-like texture, so painting different surfaces is important practice for me ~ If you want to learn more about how I do this, check out my tutorial on painting different surfaces over on patreon!
OH WOW I saw our centaur post and I have to compliment the coal miner draft horse. I'm guessing you chose a clysdale (not the strongest breed but by far the most famous) the harness suggests he could pull something on his own or with a partner depending on what called for it. It's just SO well done and it looks like your 'surface level' research really paid off for this one. I'm sure you know this but for people who do not work horses would get their tailed cropped so they wouldn't get caught in the equipment.
Oh uh I work professionally almost exclusively with draft horses and historical harness and transportation!
Bit of a late answer but thank you! Truth be told I didn't research that far into the harness and trusted my gut feeling with what made sense there. If I end up doing more please feel free to kindly correct my decisions with the designs.
While I'm on this topic, and this is aimed at anyone reading this, would people be interested in seeing more of such designs? Maybe some other era or perhaps something more oriental? I thought of making more but couldn't decide for a theme.
do you play videogames? If yes, what are your favorite ones!!
I do play games yeah! It would be hilarious if I didn't, considering I'm studying game art and design, not that I haven't heard of people like that. Uhmm, I'm not that picky with games, I dabble here and there, mostly avoiding FPS games or the like. I greatly enjoy JRPGs, so maybe stuff from Square Enix like Octopath traveler, Final Fantasy, Nier and Dragon Quest. Mostly because they're turn based, but also because I enjoy story based games. Witcher 3 is a favourite of mine because of it. Other games I enjoyed include Hades, Baldurs gate 3, Heroes of might and magic 3, Hollow Knight, the Ori games, Monster Hunter etc. Sorry that I only recently saw my asks, i'll try to answer them more frequently!
Slight blood warning. Something different from my usual stuff, not that I really have a usual theme but I dunno. I was mostly aiming to experiment with light sources again.
is this a “Throw me an idea” box or a Q&A type of sort of arrangement?
I love your work btw, its so charming and graceful :’>
I was interested in possibly asking for a request or commission of personal characters. Or, if that’s not an option, the characters from “The Wiz”.
But if neither of those are options :’O May I ask how long you’ve been in school? And what kind of work you’re looking forward to doing professionally? (portraits, comics, design, etc)
First of, thank you! Second, you can ask me things or give me ideas I don't mind either way, I'm open to most stuff as long as people are polite c:
I'd gladly work on a commission if you'd like something from me! May it be Oc's or fanart, I don't mind. I was actually planning on maybe offering to work on commissions if someone was interested, but I'd need to make a new commission sheet, my old one from Instagram is dated and I'd adjust my prices a bit. You can wait a bit till I put one up or you can write me about a com now and we can figure it out there :)
Oh and I've just completed my first semester at my art school (game art and design). I'd be up for most stuff professionally, but I'd really like to aim towards Illustration, Concept art and design and maybe even 3D art for game assets but I need much more practice in that.
