Mega's sketch collection

Posted by Astryl on Sept. 30, 2014, 1:22 p.m.

Figures I'd start one of these; I have no excuse now that I have a tablet :D

So far, it's proven to be a joy to use. All the benefits of using an actual pencil and paper, but with the undo feature a computer provides.

I'm thinking of sketching something on a pretty regular basis. Tonight I did this:

And last night I did a little cartoon dog :P

I also discovered that I can play Solitaire quite effectively with the tablet. I was critically bored while waiting for something to finish downloading.

More images to come.

EDIT 1:

Obligatory Megaman Fan-art:

Thanks :P

I tend to choose from the blue/purple side of the color picker when I'm drawing anything remotely metallic in nature. Blue because gray is boring, and purple because it's my favorite color :P

It's an evolution of my old avatar, which is by extension a character from a game I was making ages ago:

Character's name is Hunter Octave.

The avatar is like a Monet, a bit messy when you look closely, but very nice when viewed form a far (or shrinked), because of the nice colors, contrasts and reflections. Good job!

I recommend using some nice brush and dynamics to give it a bit more "hand-painted" feel. In gimp, if that's what you're using, I like to use brush "Oils#x" along with brush dynamics "Pencil Generic/Shader". :)

Thanks! I was surprised that it came out so well after downsizing it, given that it was a rush job. :P

Heh, I tried out Paint Tool SAI for this, but it was just a rough sketch :P

A few sketches I was doing early this morning I did with GIMP, and yeah, the Oil brushes and Pencil Generic brush dynamic are what I stuck with.
