2012 summary - artistic improvements

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 29, 2012, 3:35 PM
OC LIST l MY COMIC l MÓJ KOMIKS l COMMISSIONS

In 2011:


"It was a good year for the most part, and surely for drawing - actually I only started being active on dA this year, and it really changed a lot for me as an artist. Got some artist friends for the first time, quite a number of them met/still meeting face to face :) I rediscovered traditional art in drawing more than sketches, but full-fledged detailed pictures. I got a little - still not enough - smarter with digital art too. Tried out new stuff. Drew lots of my chars, but also other people's, even a few fanart pieces. I started drawing backgrounds and details"




So now 2012:



1) Something cool happening with faces - new style and new ways of colouring developing?





2) Comic: Cut it close:





3) New chars:


3a) Siena and Felic Tarapat , and some of their neghbours:




3b) believe it or not, she still doesn't have a name :C
Blady and Valorie's (his friend from his young theatre days) daughter, about whom he has only learnt recently:




3c) Savinion (I had him before but he got developped now):





4) New ship and roleplay:





5) Working on shading:





6) People started to buy my commissions O_o yaay but O_o but yaay!





7) I stopped submitting Demonade and I'm trying to rework it: the character's background, the world, the plot...



8) Finally learnt to draw kids:





9) Cosplay:





10) A little bit of writing (Polish for now):

O Pozeraczu przy zaparzaczu          Myślisz, że pijane duchy w fontannie i nawiedzony po mordzie teatr to wystarczający powód, by spakować manatki i wskoczyć w powóz na Międzyświatówkę? Poczekaj, aż przejedziesz się w tych stronach koleją. O chłopie. Jakbym miał słabe serce – jak niektórzy mają ale nie pokazuję palcem- no, jakbym miał słabe, to pewnie już dawno by leżało gdzieś w szczerym polu koło krowiego placka. Czekaj, herbaty zrobię. Pobudujesz se napięcie.
          To ten… z takich cywilizacyjnych rzeczy pociągi zawsze przeszkadzały mi najmniej, chociaż pełne ludzi. Co, już pijesz? Toć to kipiątek. W każdym razie. Pociągi całkiem przytulne, t




11) Working more with refs:





12) Trying out background and tricky stuff:





13) Naked peoplez:





14) Having more fun with different layers (I only started using layers in 2011 xD):





15) Trying to get better at both traditional and digital:





16) Textures can be cool:

:) Off to 2013!

Wow, you can really see your improvement. I mentioned it before, but your light-sourcing is really amazing, you can see a lot of progress in that regard.

Keep up the good work!

8D I think it's one of the things I've improved recently - light-sourcing and colours (often related thanks to the use of different-coloured lights and shadows)

Thank you! :hug:

You sure have had a busy year! You look like you've made a lot of improvements too!

But the fact that you've had a lot of variety in subject matter is impressive.

You're welcome!
I think with Demonade developing as you talked about, it will be a very busy year for you at least.

It will be very busy uni-wise, surely in the first half... so I'll be trying not to get into Demonade creation craze before I settle that first. :B
