♦ TKT Trilogy Illustrations Test II ♦

Rick up there on that railing cursing every single person who ever contributed to the horrific Grimport layout T.T Thank god for the cars and random people that owe Rick lives/money so they do shit for him when he asks 'cause the many stairs in Grimport are genuinely a work of a cruel society. It's just one of the many symbolic ways to say "this place is not human-friendly but a corrupt corporate hell" and sadly hoverboards and good prosthetic legs were not yet made at the time </3

But I think I got it fellasss 👀

Reason number million why opening up a patreon was a good thing - I used to never film speedpaints of anything except on an odd occasion I was just curious about how it would look, but I started filming every single thing I work on to post here and was, therefore, able to backtrack some of my work on that previous test to realize I actually did have a point in it where I was pretty happy with everything.

And then I overrendered it haha

Overworking my illustrations has been my no. 1 issue since forever. Like I've always admired artists who can make impactful pieces out of not even way too many shapes and shadows, and I REALLY wanted to try something similar for my book illustrations. Ofc these are still pretty complex but I held back a lot, I promise hahah and I think it worked!!

I really love this much more and I'm thinking this is pretty similar to what I'll be going with for the official book illustrations. It's efficient (doesn't take more than a dozen hours to finish), it's fun, and more importantly, it makes drawing of architecture easy for once T.T Which like thank fuck 'cause that was my BIGGEST fear ahahha

I'm heading back to writing (thinking of uploading another chapter excerpt one of these days, perhaps one from Rick's crime life since those are usually pretty interesting to me) and I'm hoping to get another animation started one of these days. During edit III of the trilogy, which should be somewhat quick, I'm planning to start working on the actual book illustrations that I'll be updating you all on as I finish them <3
