Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 12: Promise

If I were to fall, would you save me?

This is supposed to be shortly after they joint the Organization. I guess Saix could feel that something was wrong and he was going to lose himself even back then.

Well, noone came for him, when he finally did.

Di[e]ce Winter Weeks | Snow

Some idiots lying around in how-do-i-draw-snow-again!

Bonus:

So, I had been wondering about a ship name for these two. Maybe NightWeight, after their surnames. Or Jorsa, like a mixup of their first names.

Turns out, we’re apparently going with their callsigns. So, SpinFace is it. 

Honestly, this is simultaneously the best and the worst name ever and I love it.

I know people claim there’s no romance in Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward, but that’s not true. It’s just the most amazing and realistically written rivals to friends to lovers slow burn I’ve ever seen. 

Honestly, I just love Jerkface and Spin with my entire being. 

And another Di[e]ce event! This one will be longer, with one topic every week of December!

Dec, 01 - 06:  Snow Dec, 07 - 12:  Present Dec, 13 - 18:  Festival Dec, 19 - 24:  Warmth Dec, 25 - 31:  Awakening

Everything is perfectly welcome, art, fics, edits, just everything you can think of! Feel free to join in at everytime.

Di[e]ce is great, it really needs more love.

By the way, I’ve had an Instagram account for a few months now and I finally offically opened it yesterday. So if you want to follow me over there:

Who knows, maybe I’ll use this opportunity to be a little more active on both platforms?

Progress - How I got to this point:

Step 1 is a thumbnail. A really quick (30 seconds max) really small (3 x 5 cm; that’s actually too big for an actual thumbnail but pssssht) doodle of what the drawing might look like. I'll often do multiple of them per drawing, trying out different poses and angles.

Step 2 is an anatomical and perspective sketch. I took some reference photos of myself to test out poses. It lended up looking way too stiff (as my initial sketches often do, this is my least favourite step). Also, I decided I wanted Isa to look down.

Step 3 was new for me. I was stuck in a place with only post-its and a pen, so I redrew the picture from memory, focussing more on the flow, but with the anatomy and perspective cues I still had in mind from step 2. This worked SUPER well and I think this will be my new MO from now on. So I guess that makes Step 2 a study actually? Wow, using studies in my art, that sounds so professional.

Step 4 is a big step. I took a photo of step 3 and then worked over it digitally. I worked out the final pose I wanted (mix between step 2 and 3), took some new reference photos, played around with the pattern in the background and the flow. Then I printed it (in twice the size I usually work with) and finally …

Step 5 I traced the printed sketch on the paper I want to use for the colours. This step alone took over TWO HOURS and I fixed some details (like correcting tangents) while working on it. Usually I trace only very lightly, often in a pencil that will smudge into the colours. I don't like working with actual lines, I only add them at the very end of a drawing. But this was when I realized I will have to post the WIP and in order for you to see anything at all I jumped over my shadow and drew over the lines again with different pencils (ranging from scale B to 3H). Which took another 1 1/2 hours. Oof.

And that’s where we are now! <3 Next up is colour, but I won’t get to that anytime soon unfortunately :(

@laytonbrothersbirthdaybash Day 2: Headcanon

I like the idea, that while most adults had a bit of a difficult time dealing with little Alfendi, Uncle Randall got along with him incredibly well and the two of them spent a lot of time together. On one of these stays Alfendi found the (copy of the?) mask, which Randall hid, but couldn't quite bring himself to throw away. Randall didn't tell him what it meant then.

Even as adults, Alfendi gets along better with Randall than with his father. After the incident, Randall visits Alfendi in the hospital and finally tells him what happened at Monte D'Or that time.

Most of these sketches are from 2015, from when I first had that idea. Which means I procrastinated making the final two drawings for FIVE YEARS. But hey, better late than never.
