The Aether Technician's skootch bek

[The Aether Technician]

Hey Daggers! I posted on here like a billion years ago.
I'm back and I'm ready to make some art progress.

Let's start things off with some recent photostudies-

[The Aether Technician]

Here's what I'm working on now-


I'm really trying to hone my illustration style- I made these new brushes I'm super stoked about.

[NoodleInBox]

Love those enviros <3 so simple but effective.

Welcome back! Nice improvement in brush economy since your first posts

[The Aether Technician]

Thanks! Yeah- I've been trying to work on brush economy lately.

Here's a quick painting from today-


I'm not super satisfied with the figure's posing, but I feel like I'm getting a handle on these new brushes. I'm trying to move away from my usual clean textureless style. Also I'm trying to copy this art boi: https://woonyoung.tumblr.com/

Finished this one up today!

[miracoly]

sweet stuff man! really reminds me of Atey Ghailans work, love your abstractions! Keep it up, I'm curious to see what you come up with next :)

[The Aether Technician]

Thanks Miracoly! Atey is a huge inspiration to me.


I'm doing this tshirt design- I would love some feedback on it. The proportions aren't quite working for me right now.

[The Aether Technician]

I'm working on a new illustration- I'm really going to try to push myself with this one.




Not sure I have the color dialed in yet :/

Really lovely works man, like your colour choices and especially those mecha designs.

Really lovely works man, like your colour choices and especially those mecha designs.

Thanks! I really should do more mecha stuff.



Here's a spitpaint from today-



I'm still working on this...school has been busy and I haven't gotten the chance to do much with it. (also working on some super secret projects)

[The Aether Technician]

ok, I'm gonna call this done. I'm not super happy with it, but I feel like I managed to push my style a little. I think most of the problems come from the original sketch :/ I really should spend more time on rough comps before I jump into painting.

 I'm trying to work a bit more like these guys: https://vimeo.com/thespastudios

Your paintings have really gorgeous colors! Do you come from a warm place by chance?

[The Aether Technician]

Thanks! Naw- I live in Colorado.

Here's another spitpaint. I only have 2 more weeks of school, and then I can really start ass kicking.

[The Aether Technician]

I'm done with school (for now)!

I'm gonna try to improve my drawing skills for the next couple of days. I cover up too many of my mistakes with paint.

I started with some rough figure studies to get my brain thinking about proportions again-



also some rough sketches from whenever-

I like the guy rowing in the fog piece - great simplicity and shapes.

Keep going with the figure studies dude - it'll boost up your visual library and that'll turn you into an artistic tyrannosaur!

[The Aether Technician]

Thanks! I should be doing studies and stuff, but instead I've done this.



It's Walucio.

some quick deer studies-
