I was thinking I wish there was Cindy merch, then I had this idea to print a paper desk standee based on the concept art. I haven't gotten around to do it yet, but if anyone would like to do it feel free to print this (for personal use only and please don't upload it to anywhere else)

I used her portrait from the game and painted over this concept art:

#disco elsyium #cindy the skull #not a perfect copy of the style but I tried to paint it similarly to the portrait

"Julia Dobreva came from Graad. Jean Abadanaiz was born in Revachol. She was brilliant, charismatic, a revolutionary comet. He was her partner and stabiliser, the planet who kept her in orbit."

Jean and Julia, the "revolutionary lovers". There isn't much information about them to work with so everything aside from her dark makeup are just my headcanons. I ended up referencing other characters and historical figures, & I took the "forbidden love" as them coming from different classes.

#disco elysium #julia dobreva #jean abadanaiz #sacred and terrible air #im not entirely satisfied with this maybe i'll draw them again someday #guess which historical figures and characters i had on my moodboard for this and i'll send you a telepathic communist kiss

hi i really love your style

this is not an "i want to know what it is bc ai" question i've just been wanting to learn to draw for a LONG time and am just wondering how yoh learnt to draw.

i hope you can answer if it's not much trouble thanks in advance

aw thanks!:)

well, I always liked to draw, then I went to a high school that had an art department, and I also studied art at university, then did a masters degree in animation, but there were also some things that I had to learn by myself. Based on my experience, these are some things that can help someone who is a beginner learn how to draw:

It’s good to start by drawing things that you enjoy, because it will keep you motivated. (I learned to draw digitally in photoshop because I did a lot of fanart that way)

Practicing by copying other people’s artworks. Of course don’t publish these, or says that they are yours, but it’s a very good way to learn.

Doing life drawings, still life, and croquis are really useful, & learning at least the basics of anatomy, perspective, color theory, and composition, even if realism is not your goal.

it’s important to differentiate between good and bad advice. I mean, when I was a teen I had a favorite anime that had an art style where the anatomy and colors weren’t the best (I didn’t notice this at the time) and my skills really stagnated when I tried to imitate this style, and I only drew this way.  There are some popular youtube anatomy tutorials with like 800k views that are just, bad. So what I mean is, if you want to learn things like anatomy or color theory for example, choose to learn from somebody who is actually good at those things. There are also some good tutorials online. It becomes easier to differentiate them from the bad ones as your skills and way of seeing develops. It helps a lot if you learn from published books, from artists who are well known and respected in their fields. (For example Color and Light by James Gurney is a good book for learning about color theory) (this is also a reason why going to art school can be useful)

A lot can be learned from looking at and learning about different art styles, movements etc. Composition from renaissance and constructivism, anatomy from baroque art, color theory from impressionism, etc. I think learning about art history is really useful

experimenting with different mediums, themes, styles helps a lot and its also fun! I was a graphic design/animation major but I even had land art and abstract painting classes

so that kinda sums it up. I hope that answers it!

#i could go on but this post already too long lol

[video description: A 3D animation based on the "Cop slide" meme video, where a police officer slides down a metal slide with too much velocity. The video above shows a similar slide built in Blender, and a Disco Elysium style text box on the right, with the text: ' BIG SLIDE - You stand before a long metal slide. A sign next to it reads "Caution - The slide is NOT intended for adult use." 1.- [SAVOIR FAIRE - Medium 10] Use the slide. You can't tell me what to do!. 2. - [Leave]. ' There is a red flash, a check failure animation and sound. This is followed by Harry Du Bois sliding down the slide, face down and legs first, with Gmod collision sound effects. He slides on the ground and a "Damaged health" animation and sound plays with a red flash. There is a cracking sound. The video ends with the animation of Harry rolling on his back, trying to get up.]

very late to the meme, it's been done before but. here. turn on the sound pls
