So, I'm currently working on a comic. It's why I'm always making reference sheets. While working on one of the drawings, I decided to start with the secondary colors before applying the primaries. By the time you read this, I will be dead...

Wait.

No, that's not right.

Sorry, I meant to say, "By the time you read this, I will have finished the coloring process." But while in this stage, I couldn't help but be drawn to the feeling of these colors. No, I'm not critiquing my own drawing like it's in an art museum. But knowing I'll be slapping some brighter colors in later, I wanted to save this version. Something about it just clicked with me, and I thought, "Maybe someone else would like to see it." I could post it in the art portal, but since it's a mere piece to a larger drawing, I decided just to put it here. Anyhooters, Imma get back to working on the thing. You won't see the full image till... I don't know. Maybe never. That's not the plan, but it ain't gonna be out for a while, and anything could happen before then. I could get struck by a paper plane with a poison tip. I could lose my arms in a horrible accent regarding a wild animal or an angry Italian grandma. Y'all ever read DBS's Granola Arc? It's my favorite arc in all of super. Hell, I'd say it's top five for me in terms of all Dragon Ball stories. That's not relevant, I just wanted to share. Did I say I was gonna go back to drawing? Apparently, I lied to you and myself.

Take a wild guess what this is about.

YUP. Here's the new sheet.

Have you seen my posts before? Then you know the drill. Remaking sheets, yadda yadda yadda. This is Shy.

HERE's the full image, along with the previous sheets for comparison.

Aaaaand here's just a preview of that that link holds.

I re-rendered three expressions that I more or less liked from the previous. Here's one.

Too many of the previous heads had awkwardly drawn faces and I got rid of them entirely.

The new heads are now more loose as the opposed to the stiff and uninteresting miens of before.

Also, I've had a serious issue with trying to figure juts how the heck color works. In the past it was all too muted and then I made colors too bright and vibrant. The sheet have a better color balance I think. Okay, that's all, enjoy your lunch o whatever. Have a blessed day.

I made a really dumb comic about trying not to masturbate containing characters that aren't mine. I don't usually do that but it was really fun so I might do more. Creating a balance between my style and the style of the character's source is a blast and has some great challenges to it. Here's a panel from it.

And yes, I made all of them muscular, not just Nani.

Made this thang not long ago. Enjoy, you gosh dang'ers. Sidenote, I had to do impressions of Bakugo and Midorya speaking gibberish. My attempt at Clifford Chapin fracked my throat.

I'm linking you to a piece that I'm particularly fond of. I'm constantly writing and drawing. I design characters all the time and post them here for you to see and I'm constantly writing stories for the characters within those designs to occupy. But I have yet to put them together. I don't have the budget or resources to make a full-fledged cartoon about these personalities or their stories. Hell, I've been considering making a comic but even that seems unlikely even if it is more doable. I haven't attempted it yet, as I'm a perfectionist and I second-guess my writing all the time. Until I feel ready, or I'm convinced that I don't NEED to be ready and just take the leap, none of you will see what I've truly got inside this head of mine. Not that any of it is something you'd consider nuanced, but compared to all the goofy crap I make into cartoons, it's a different level of my talents that I want to share. What I CAN share is a small rendering of one of these moments. It's a glimpse into what want to show you. It's a bit flat but I'm not worried about how it looks as I am about what it conveys.

Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

HEY... look, I did the forum thing. Basically, if you wanna post a "then and now" kinda thing regarding your art progression (or regression) then that thang is sure as heck welcome in that thing I'll be linking. I'm sure there are plenty of forums just like it but I didn't feel like looking... for 'em, wink, so here you go!

clig heer

Made a lady different looking! Again. It's happened several times now. You can see the previous versions below. Click here to see my lack of satisfaction with every incarnation! Sometimes, I wonder if my vague memories truly happened or if I imagined it. I could have sworn I caused a fellow child to roll down a flight of wooden steps during first-grade recess. I met him again in high school and he had no memory of the incident. Though, that doesn't necessarily prove it didn't happen. I guess we'll never know I'm as villainous as I strive to be. Until I do something shitty. Give it time.

This here is the latest blah blah improved character sheet. I normally replace the file but I'll leave the OLD version up so you can bask in how shit it is. I won't clarify what I did in great detail. Just new hair, new face, better "heads" and with a side of shoulders.

I replaced the file for the Travis sheet. Click here to see it. As for the original, I've included it with this post in case you want to curse your eyes. The sheet below is unbearably flat, the expressions are unimaginative, and far too limited in quantity to justify the sheet's existence. The whole thing needed a serious make-over. I'm much happier with the new one. Especially considering how the hair looks. No longer is it a collection of boring spikes and a blinding shade of red.
