Smore

 Western Fantasy Tank, Eastern Fantasy Civilian.

I forgot to post these

More finished ones.

If there's time, I'll be changing aspects of some of these (Most likely the Horror ones). There's bits I'm not too happy with in them, but overall I think it'll do.

Also, the Western Fantasy Assassin is meant to have really long legs, but the pose makes it look like a mistake. It's a shame, because I think this particular pose suits her better than standing ones that show off the legs better. I'll just have to explain it in the book to make sure my intentions are clear.

Horror Tank

I feel like I finished this too quickly. It's not as detailed as I planned (I was going to painstakingly draw every limb in detail on the body), but I don't really have time to do something that would probably look too busy and get deleted anyway.

Well, I'm glad I finished it today. It was one of my most dreaded pieces, and having it out of the way feels like a big relief.

Another one down

Range 1920s.

I've been using Blurb and trying to get everything compiled for a book. I think this software was made by someone who despises the world. It's sinfully painful to get it working at times.

I've stopped thinking about how much time is left. I really am too nervous to consider it. I'm just trawling through and hoping I get enough done. It's not worth the terror of counting the days.

One down, millions to go

I finished the Eastern Fantasy Support. It brilliantly crashed a whole lot so about half of the video is missing (hooray!) but at least the picture is done. I spent a long time perusing Japanese pictures when drawing it. It was really, really hard to pin down what makes a traditional Japanese picture look like a traditional Japanese picture, but I think I hit at least some of the key points:

1) Canvas texture

2) Background (Will pop one in later)

3) Calligraphic lineart - though a lot of pictures had quite simple lineart, it helps to make it look authentic anyway

4) Pure black hues

5) Smoothy straighty "wavy" lines - I really can't describe it. It's just something I tried to get a feel for.

The basic idea behind this character is that he's a Houngan sur pwen from Africa who was taken to and raised in Japan. The skull is a mix of a Gashadokuro and a fetish used for healing, protection, divining and other things.

Done!!

I finished the Assassin. I don't like it as much as that headshot I did, which is a shame, but I kinda like it. A bit. Maybe.

It took exactly as long as I thought it would - 16 videos - but 2 of them are corrupted, which means I have 14 in total. I have the start and the end, at least.

I really hope there's nothing wrong with it. If there is, I'll be a little bit heartbroken because it's going to be pretty hard to change.
