If I Put A Lit Candle In Mother Spore Grians Eyes Would It Look Like A Jack-o-lantern

createmod shenanigans. thanks to tango for having the coolest skin ever for this series.

i've drawn SO many mechanical arms (mostly because of doc lmao) but this one just slays so hard to this day. i need more steampunk hermitcraft content so i have an excuse for more gold accents.

hermittober day 1: moon  i’ve been posting the hermittober drawings over on my twitter but ive decided i should start sharing them here aswell :-)  prompt list by ink-ghoul !!

Days 19-20 of 31 for @clovercrafted's Buildtober: Mangrove/Buried

After centuries of lying dormant beneath the muddy surface, the Mangrove Colossus has come out to play...

This is my first time sculpting a... creature(?) in Minecraft, and I learned a TON from this! I'm still getting the hang of more organic builds, but these Buildtober prompts have been such great challenges and really pulled me out of my comfort zone.

Anyway, I wonder if this swampy beast is friend or foe...

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

Art style breakdown /tutorial(??)

Some friends asked so here we go : disclaimer im bad at explaining (so feel free to send an ask or smth)

Final art (long read so theres a timelapse at the end)

If its not for something important (commissions), i dont usually make a lineart for a drawing but just clean up the sketch , it wont be used anyway

I usually separate them by colors , mostly so i can Alpha lock them and not worry about coloring over parts

When coloring i use a soft airbrush to have gradients within the shading , so its not one solid color . How i shade is very blocky , lots of triangles lol (if im using CSP i love using the lasso fill tool ) but there are parts especially in the skin where I keep it smooth and blended, usually nose and cheek area . Using an asaro head is usually a good start to learning how to shade faces with planes in mind

Depends on the character, but I like adding shadows on the lashes/brows itself , make it look solid and 3d , it makes the eyes pop more imo

Using multiply layer to make the shadows darker for more contrast

At some point I’d merge everything together so i can just paint in one layer, easier to fix things with liquify too ; if im in CSP i keep the separate layers in one folder just in case i need em later but i cant really do that in Procreate cos of layer limits

This is the part where i make the shading more painterly .,To make the shading look sharper , i like adding lines on the edges .

The fun part : adding the ✨

This is the part where I add textures , either from texture images or with screentone/hatching brushes. This is also around the part where i add the character’s accessories and stuff like scars and freckles (its just easier to add smaller things near the end than having them accidentally painted over at the start)

Whenever I feel like the drawing looks too much of a similar shade / temperature , I use a gradient map+layer effects (masked) on parts to give it variety . Technically you can do this by just having a layer effect on and manually adding colors but gradient maps make me go “ooooh didnt think of that color there “

CSP also has a posterization filter that i like using when i feel like some part looks too smooth to me.

I sometimes add in sketchy lines , and seeing how cool it looks in Marvel Rivals art ive been adding it more lol

Artists that influenced me are : Nesskain, Toni Infante , Valorant’s 2d art(their main artist is Suke) ,Arcane , Spiderverse and the most recent one ive been obsessing over is Marvel Rivals ( its got everything i want my art to be when it grows older lmao )

trying things!

two (2) people asked how i did the matchbook thing so take this

this is just a simple idea but if you spend some more time you can get real krazy with it:

making fake prints is so fun please do it immediately free resources under cut xoxo
