The Good Fight

My art thread which I really hope I will update regularly.

I am really intimidated and inspired by other peoples' threads.
Here are some insects I've done using reference, tomorrow I will try and come up with my own creatures.



Also could someone help me upload images. I'm not sure how.
When I drag and drop, the message is too long, when I insert by URL, it's broken. :(

Nvm, got it!

Very nice studies. Are your new creatures going to be insect based?

[devares]

Hey there, keep fighting the good fight! Also, nice studies you got there. And cheers!

Thanks :)

Weeell, beetle based specifically. I haven't researched other insects yet.

Thank ya, you too! :)


I came up with some by biomes. I tried not to use reference and draw by memory. My goal was mainly to make them "believable" and "functional". Some make more sense than others. :p

kikindafacegood start ! show us more !

Thanks! :)
I don't feel like posting old stuff, I kinda hate it now. :p So I'm just gonna post my drawings since joining the forum.


I was feeling a bit uninspired today so I did a nude study. The human body is one of my weaknesses. Male even more so than female.

I painted the values first in b&w and then improvised the palette.

Oh, I love the new beetles! The seaside one is probably my favorite, with the pearly shell and spiral. I love that the snow beetle is a firefly--instant appeal there. I really like the gloss to the wings and shells, and the variety of wing shapes.

Thanks! It's my favourite too. I was thinking how to make it look like it belongs near the sea, so I thought: camouflage :D


A quick painting of a pic I found on pinterest:


ASOIAF fanart I will hopefully paint tomorrow. Try and guess who the sisters are. <:

Here is one of them, I am soo slow. Things to work on: HANDS. and textures.

[Mirna94]

These aren't very interesting, but if I didn't feel obliged to post, I'd probably procrastinate more. :p

I got this idea form A Chi's sketchbook. 10 pose studies, 5 design studies per day. 1 finished painting per week. 2 months time.
The design studies are referenced from the art of Heroes of Might and Magic 7.

[Mirna94]

More of the same. I reference the poses from Croquis cafe on youtube.

[Mirna94]

Dailies. Again, Croquis cafe and Heroes of Might and Magic credited.
I also started learning 3d a bit. c:

I decided to do my studies on paper since it doesn't hurt my hand as much.

Something I started a month ago and repainted today:

1h studies:





A character I'd like to draw more of:
