I tried doing a character study --
Added 2021-01-27 03:39:06 +0000 UTCBecause I wanted to try color palettes and figure out how I liked to color Uncle, I did this over the course of a few days, adding little by little wondering why nothing felt right.
And then I drew a little full body Uncle and used a recent pic to color pick and realized why nothing felt right. ๐
The eye marking shouldn't cover the his eyes bags!
It makes him look younger and to combat that I kept using lighter and lighter colors which didn't work either, then I figured it out.
This was also done entirely in CSP, I modified the brushes I liked to use and got more and more comfortable, I did some simple shading to get a feel for it and I like it. ๐
Sorry for not posting so much, I'm finally covid-19 negative and am over the moon about it but I'm stressed to hell over having to put in plumbing and fixing a broken window, along with doing laundry by hand. ๐ต
I'm going to be moving on to commission work and wanted to post something for you all, it was fun for me, takes me back to when I did simple, panel-less comics, I'm really looking forward to using CSP for comic work!
See you all soon! ๐

Good to know you're healthy. Looks like you put a lot of consideration into his design. I hope this helps you going foreward.

2021-01-29 09:10:26 +0000 UTCVery nice study here! I do love your insightful notes X3 Though I was the one that suggested combining his eye markings with his bags as a new facial design for him so I kinda feel bad now. XD I am glad you managed to make something work, though. I think his final design turned out fantastic: a nice shad with his eye patch to go with his aged bags. :D Also, don't sweat it about not posting. You were sick with the world's shittiest of shit viruses after all. :p Though I am sorry to hear you're now having to deal with housing damage (Hope nothing serious happened). Still, I am glad you pulled through without any further severe symptoms. Hope you continue to stay that way. ^^ Looking forward to your new projects, Tsu. Again, stay well and best of luck on your work.
