@Veneq: AH THANK YOU! Hopefully i've finally struck gold with this :D


Here is a quick sketch to see if I can hold the painterly quality without ref

I .love.your.style.
srsly , how do you go about drawing from imagination?

@Foxfire: <3 Thank you! That is the million dollar question I guess. I think doing enough studies to memorize this? I should have used reference lol

Here is a quick sketch on toned paper.
My mind wouldn't focus on work stuff, so I took a break.

I love your portraits and the style of painting you use for them, can't wait to see more : )

@Astute: thank you bro :D

Weird moment where you ponder what would you be at if you haven't left anime behind.
Dang, I'm missing so much by not producing any personal piece... ugh

That portrait

@Gliger: <3

Here, to make it looks less I'm a slacker, another study.
Practicing finishing pass/polish is a bitch. This is probably the longest I have lingered on a single subject, and it turned out to be way more complex than I ever had hoped for.
I am finally seeing those freaking edges.
Now I need a new portfolio, and time to actually finish something and not "Just enough to see if it holds"

WOW I hope one day I can get to this level, Awesome work!

oooh sula, somethin different about that last one... some very charming strokes here and there mmmm.... interestinggggg

Congrats on successfully pushing through all that trouble with edges!

Lovely elf, as always. Those subtle patterns on the shoulder pad are really cool… and those eeeaars, aww <3

@Chrisfernz: <3 thank you! Just keep at it, no secret!
@Fedodika: yessss omg thank you! I feel that way too - but you know, we always think it's our brain tricking us.
@Lyraina: YAY! :D <3 Thank you

Aye
Hardcore crunching client work because real life happened.
Here is a sketch I was able to preview :)

Master study :)

Beautiful, beautiful, boar!

you are so damn crazy.. I cant even crazy how crazy you are.

@Meat: <3 thank you!
@Jaik: hahah well... yeah :p

Here is more style exploration
Does this works?

aww man your textures are really nice. I really want to explore making my stuff more painterly, am going to have to start experimenting more. I wait on baited breath to see more!

Also shoutouts to mike ross posting on your sketchbook :^) kek

@MarcCasper: thank you :D <3 And wait, who posted where? I missed that :o
