Meanwhile I’m copying stuff to private blogs, I discovered “the
brushes” on Clip Studio Paint (It was about time!) Then I did some
sketch using the Surface (I’m not much used to it…).
I think I already stated in the past: I quite like boardgames, and recently learned to play “Roll for the Galaxy”.
Starla Bunny vs. Garibaldi the 3rd – Starla, the professional
board-gamer and mystery detective in Barcelona 1929′s Universal
Exposition, is challenged by her nemesis, Garibaldi the 3rd, fascist spy
for Mussolini and traitor to the Catalan Separatists. Thanks to “Zombie
Dices”, she discovers The Truth! Also throwing dices while roman-saluting makes dices to roll off the table. And that’s annoying.
Starla Bunny – Some silly concept/thing I thought two days ago: During
the Barcelona Universal Exposition in 1929, the professional boardgamer
Starla solves crimes, mysteries, and helps the separatists and
republicans to overthrow the fascist directorate. She gets involved in
secret plots to destabilize the Society of Nations, plans to start the
second World War before time, and arranged tournaments of UNO. She doesn’t date anybody who can’t beat her in a game of Puerto Rico.
Just sketches of Anne and Steffy, to practice a little bit their
body-shapes. I searched in Google “dancing woman”, and photos appeared…
(Steffy’s
fluffy tail can’t be seen, as it’s behind her. Even though, there’s
that impulse to draw a little bit of it showing, and it would be totally
wrong!!!)
[Edited: Updated Steffy image with a correction of a ‘more reasonable’ head-body proportion]
Ziritrion insisted that I should play this Undertale game. There was so much hype that I dismissed it for a long time…
Then awesome game art (and fan-art) arrived and I gave it a try…
Finally
I couldn’t update my web-comic because I spent last evenings playing
exhaustively Undertale in True Pacifist mode and thinking a lot about it
later.
Dragon Transport – Recently discovered Drawception (an on-line drawing
game. Look for it!), and I had to illustrate the caption “Dragon
Transport“. I loved the concept, and after drawing it in a really clumsy
way I felt like redrawing it again, this time with no chronometer
running. I think I never draw a dragon before.
Imitate and Improve! – Sometimes when I go into The Internets,
I find cool pictures/art that I’d like to be able to draw. I save those
and try to imitate or reproduce by tracing or drawing “side-by-side”,
also putting my characters in such poses.
Obviously the
results are far better than me just sketching from zero, as I left my
senses of proportion and symmetry at work. An important thing to keep in
mind when imitating from real (or even drawn) pictures is that
“furries” have bigger head-to-body proportions so they become more
cartoonish, escaping from the “uncanny valley” effect. I spend big time
adjusting the size of the head to not seem stupidly big or disturbingly
human sized. Further, sometimes the result must be plumped or rounded,
for the same purposes.
The originals were found in 4chan boards, 1 and 3 from “casual girl” photos and 2 from a drawing of an artist called Kasutaso.
The Cartoons, that band from the 90′s and early 2000′s came back to
my music lists. And this time, instead of just listening to their music,
I’m able to UNDERSTAND (how frisky were) their lyrics!
What 20
years ago were a bunch of childish and catchy tunes for somebody not
speaking English, today they turned to me a set of cool songs with a
“kinky” double-meaning or easily misunderstandable. Here at catalan and
spanish radio stations, songs were played without anyone paying
attention, also put to elementary school children as music for school
trips parties, so who would suspect?!
From songs like “Big
Coconuts” (”uh aiah, boys get so hot when they see a coconut”), to
“Yoko” (”Got her own sweet flavor, when I go down low” -> yes, it is
about “eating carpet”), passing through “Little Red Riding Hood” (just
use your imagination, guys!) and “Chirp Chirp Cheep Cheep“ (with its
orgasming chorus). Not forgetting the clip for “Witch Doctor”, where The
Cartoons enter into a tampon microphone rocket-ship to fly towards a vag hangar gate in Toon Town, because “All-right! Ooo eee ooo ah ah…!”.
I completed the drawing with a comic, but discovered that is was enough NSFW for Tumblr (I want to keep this clean for now). So I put it in my blog >>>HERE (+18)<<<.
