Inktest

Test with inking and crosshatching.

Guy on the left was done in Fineliners(07 tp 005), Dragon on the right was done with really cheap nibs. I guess I’ve gotten better with Lineart in general.

Sketchdump

I found out there were a whole lot of pictures I never uploaded or anything, so I decided to photograph them and upload them.

Comic style tests

This is a test of comic styles in Krita.

The middle one being a watercoloury style(probably needs better colour picking to be really useful)

The last being traditional ink-then-colour, softshading style, and the first being a variation where I painted the subject first, and then added the lines. Painting is a little more comfortable for me regarding details like hair and folds(which are nice to sculpt this way), so it’s a little more natural to me to try this manner.

All of them have their own charm really.

Krita Test

Sat down and really tried drawing in Krita. I had to install cinnamon onto ubuntu because otherwise it would be too slow. Ubuntu kinda fights too much with my videocard. :/

Anyhow, I still prefer MyPaint, mostly because the UI is much easier to grasp. I hope future versions of Krita will be more customisable and quicker.

A Princess and his Knight

This one was in wip-hell since last christmas. Today I basically finished it.

Made with mypaint.

I was briefly afraid that it would be a little too crazy, but then the fandom started assigning symbol-vegetables to characters, so I was being afraid of being crazy while sitting in the asylumn.

Anyhow.

I saw some people draw mermaids, and then I wanted to draw them too.

CFV Kai Realistic Skin Study

Made with Mypaint, I worked on this one quite a  while, resulting in me hardly recognising whether it was a human face to begin with.

I used to think this guy’s hair was blond before I came in contact with the fandom, because of the way I imagined his hair to catch light.

Making designs for my portefolio site.

Some rough designs for where I want to take my portefolio site.

WordPress has changed a lot since last time, and there’s some microblogging functionality put it, which I want to use when I set up my theme.

I also want to see whether I can identify when I’m posting comics, so that I can set up the javascript of my javascript comic viewer. Somehow.

Another problem is how to deal with the UI. There’s a good amount of  catagories, and I’ll probably make the home/gallery/portfolio pages instantly clickable, while hiding the catagories and have the about and other such pages in the footer.

I’ll also need to check whether I can get the chunks of posts to match to the screen well enough and whether I can handle the input so it’ll make use of this proper. (Also, I need to look into touchscreens and shit)

I wonder whether I should reduce the information when on mobile-phone sized screens.

/makes me almost wish that I could configure tumblr as well as I can configure wordpress. 😡
