My computer monitor looks nothing like my phone screen, and I need to get better with colours, so I decided to go get some of my digital pieces printed today!
It was just a standard Officeworks print on heavy paper, but omg why is everything so off lol. My monitor is definitely not calibrated; everything I do on the screen looks lighter than every other devices, and these prints show it too!
I’m no good at figuring out how to make my monitor accurate though ugh zzz
I’m so productive when it comes to drawing when I’m not busy playing games or doing other extra curriculars! This is the Makrie version of The Beginning of Humanity. Except I forgot that I’d called Irutha’s version what it was, which is why I thought this was the number 2 version of it. Oh well!
This picture occurs at the exact same time as Irutha’s version – they are in separate locations looking up to see the Inserendis weapon fire. For Irutha, she knows it represents the beginning of humanity. For Makrie, it marks the end of her life as an android, and after the event, wakes up as a full human.
Haha, this isn’t about my actual pigeons. It’s inspired by The Pigeon by Patrick Suskind and also Drones by grandson. Moosh those to together, and you have the idea that Irutha and Merisde are in a room, discussing their latest mission over tea, and then from the corner of their eye, they see a pigeon head poking around at the window. There are no real pigeons; all pigeons are government drones. The sight of this pigeon spells immediate danger for the two, so they drop what they’re doing, yell out, “pigeon!!!” and make a mad dash for escape.
Except I couldn’t get that image on paper because I lack artistic ability, so this was the next best drawable scene I could think of – and even then I needed the help of google to learn how people look when they’re running.
In the world of Arridon, the saddest ASI self destructs, taking down both itself and all the androids out there – including all the pigeons, because the pigeons are government drones. Makrie, the unique android, survives as she becomes fully human, and walks a world where perhaps libraries will be reborn.
Or maybe it was the Inserendis weapon and not the ASI self destruction? I can’t remember and have to check my notes!
Finally! After how many years, a sketch of Saryel that I don’t hate? And she actually has a complete costume? Amazing!
When will I get good at hands though. And she needs arm tattoos but my brain can’t.
How many times do I have to complain, no hands!
Odara relived that Peln has returned safely from a dangerous situation!
I am also still terrible at drawing hands lol
This one was interesting to draw! As always, displaying my Photoshop Takes Zero Skill heavily filtered pic, but I do want to post some WIPs too!
I wanted to try something different for this – I really like the angle and lighting of this shot, but it was too daunting to approach with pencil because it was extremely black heavy, and I don’t like having to spend so much pencil lead on paper because it’s so tedious, not to mention the graphite goes everywhere and is prone to smudging! So I decided to start my digital canvas black, and worked my way towards white. It kind of worked???
(more…)
I think I’m done trying to draw digitally for the rest of this year. It’s so hard! Also a cropped version without a filter wrecking it just cause.
