Well… sorry, but my new vampire crime novel doesn't have any spice, it is really just a bloody vampire werewolf witch undead mess. But today is release AND Valentine's Day, so I thought, I will give you some smashy content. And well, sometimes vampire and werewolf give each other "the look" so… 👁👄👁💦
The novel is in German, so sorry for all the vampire novel suckers outside of my country. :X
Tried something old with something new. I love my sketch comic art style but never had a way to colorize it. Limited my shading, added grain, and also used photo backgrounds. Love it. Needs a little bit more practice, but I think I am on a good way.
My CSP Brushes Essentials for free on my Patreon page.
For sketching, pencil and pen feeling, ink lineart, some paintingbrushes, airbrushes, blending tool and lasso.
All of them are altered CSP originals with new brush tips and textures, also settings for people with low pressure. Maybe you have to adjust them, if you press hard.
The pens uwu:

I draw most of my pictures just with this set. My fav is Essentials BRUSH. Did this one with it:
„Alle Vampire sind Monster. Dessen wird sich der rund 2000 Jahre alte Boris wieder bewusst, als er für seine Ausbildung zum Kriminalbeamten gezwungen ist, wieder frisches Blut zu trinken. Ambrosia hat ihn für viele Jahrzehnte menschlich gemacht, ihm ermöglicht zu atmen – doch Menschlichkeit hilft ihm im Kampf gegen Untote, Werwesen und Dämonen nicht weiter. Es ist aber vor allem seine eigene Art, gegen die es zu kämpfen gilt. Ein Vampirclan verbreitet Angst und Terror in der Stadt.
Vampire mögen Monster sein, aber nicht alle Monster sind grausam, oder? Boris und sein Team bestehend aus Werwolf, Dryade und Oger ringen nicht nur um das Schicksal der Stadt Frankfurt, sondern auch mit ihren bestialischen Instinkten – und manchmal um die Fernbedienung im Aufenthaltsraum.“
Ab dem 12.12. als super duper glitzernde extra Spezialedition!
This was a challenge. I had to make a reference in Daz3D, because green skin with this light situation? My brain left the building. X'D
This is Gnag. Gnag is an ogre and works for a German special police force: the thaumaturgic emergency service. His best friend is the dryad Penny I showed before. He has a very sweet personality, perfect bro and a loyal buddy.
Do you have any tips to avoid same face syndrome? I can tell who’s who with them having different facial features, it’s something I struggle with I would appreciate any advice.
(Love your art)
I am sorry, if I don’t have that great tone or expression though this text I am not good with words or expression. Again apologies if this comes off wrong or rude.
No worries man, I get you👍
So, the main thing I do to separate faces, is instead of starting off with a circle each time as the base of the head, I use the shape that brings together their brows, cheekbones, and chin. But the shape of the face doesn’t really mean much if you keep all their facial features the exact same, which leads to breaking down the general shape of the eyes, nose, and lips
Look at these beautiful people below. Their eyes are set into their heads differently from each other, the model in the middle has a wider forehead than the model on the left. The model on the right has sharper eyes and longer ears than either of the models. When you’re struggling with same face syndrome, this is typically the main symptom, making all the features look the exact same even if the face shape is different from your other characters.
Once you get all the technical anatomical stuff under your belt, THEN you can simplify the characters into your style. Again, learn the rules before you read someone else’s guidelines. Keeping a reference of the real life model you want your characters to resemble is also a good practice. The model on the left is actually my main reference for MK, so there’s absolutely no shame in using them when needed for your art. Punch anyone who says otherwise
Penny, I love her so much. She has such a big background-story and for real, I would love to write a whole book about her. But for now, there is just a fake cover, because I made one for every character.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG QAQ MA BABYS! I love it so much! Was für ne süße Szene einfach!
Another uni project~
Here is a little fan made One Pager based on my favorite book "Mona" by I. B. Zimmermann @kritzelpixel. I love them both together sooo much.
Liebe Isa! Ich verfolge dich schon seit Jahren, hab aber seit einiger Zeit nichts mehr von dir gesehen.
Ich hab gesehen, dass du (glaub ich?) andere Pronomen nutzt. Mein letzter Stand war, dass du genderfluid bist. Ist das noch so? Ich möchte dich auf keinen Fall falsch ansprechen und Missverständnisse vermeiden. :))
Uff meine Pronomen, das ist ne Baustelle xD Einfach das nehmen, was nötig ist, um zu verstehen, dass über mich gesprochen wird. Dazu sind sie ja auch da. :'D
