Spamton NEO's Ravenous Heart

(Image Descriptions available as ALT text. Three focus levels of the same image. Far out, way cool, & radical close-up! 😎 )

I was trying to find inspiration to finish my HUGE collection of Spamton WIPs languishing since last September... I then decided I'd just try to do a whole new pic from scratch, & on purpose, make it imperfect & rough. That, combined with listening to aggressive metal music, randomly drove me to draw this super edgy take on Spamton NEO's Chained Heart.

Poor sharp boi, he's been through a lot. But that's what makes him (& his owner) so tough!

I wanted this piece to end up with a sort of 1990s punk feel, & experimented with textures & various effects until I really liked how it turned out, without as much work as it could've been otherwise. And that made the imperfections feel welcome. I'm proud of this gnarly little dude!

(Process details & art-block update under the cut.)

While working on this, I felt compelled to add tons of detail. Which usually is what kills all my WIPs... But this time, I said to myself, I'll channel all my wish for detail into THIS pic, & make the rest more simple.

And it worked! I was able to finish a second drawing as well (which, well, was already detailed by then, but I was just agonizing over the coloring, & finally worked it out). So, this bad boy & all his cracks & scars got me going! & now I also organized the rest of my WIPs so they'll be easier for me to dive back into.

I've also switched to Clip Studio Paint for now, mostly because for some reason SAI has gotten laggy on me. :( I LOVE the default pen in CSP, & it has great potential for accessibility features... but DANG do SO many other aspects need adjustments, & the interface is SO unintuitive! GAH! But... I know enough to make use of it, so I'll keep trying.

I just HAD to do the Barbie & Ken mugshot meme with these two Gaster'ed Bastards! X333

While doing the layers over the original image, I left Spamton's glasses transparent so I could insert static behind them, & with the underlying original image layer at the bottom layer, I accidentally got THIS creepy funny sad thing going on, where Barbie's pitiful, real eyes show through Spamton's glasses! XDDD (MAJOR Scopophobia warning!)

So on Twitter, I tried to give tips on how to draw long-nosed Addisons kissing, but realized I'd need a visual aid, so after SUCH a long time not drawing, I started scribbling in MS Paint. Then realized I'd need layers, so I moved to my other computer to use Clip Studio Paint (I'm still kind of migrating slowly between my old Windows 8.1 laptop & my new Windows 10 tower PC).

But well, the hardcore aro-ace I am, I've never drawn lip-kissing humanoids, EVER! Soooo talk about starting on Hard Mode, LOL! 😅 (But these random Addison OCs smooching turned out kinda cute. :3 I think I'll call them Lily I. Pad & Ivy N. Droid [both they/she]. Yeah, cross-platform mobile device romance. 😚)

Advice on using these as references under the Read More.

The first two are performed by having the chins close together & foreheads further apart, letting the noses slide by each other, up each others' foreheads. Variants showing how they can remain close to center, or slide a bit to the side.

Then two more variants. The left ones are the intended viewing side, & the right ones are layer-swaps to show that no major facial deformity has to happen, even on a character more towards the background, for these poses to work without poking any eyes, even with less extreme nose-bending (& of course, implying that their noses flex to the side. It doesn't have to impact the aesthetic of the art work).

Once again, tipping their foreheads closer together lets you have their noses go under each others' eyes, while tipping their chins toward each other can give room for their noses to flex upward (above the eyes).

With 2D, you can take some liberties. Don't worry about it too hard, & just make 'em kith~! 😘
