The Achaim post

Hi folks, so as promised in my previous post on on my y!gallery, i'm giving My blond barbarian his own post, I am also going to show you guys a process pic. It's not like a tutorial or anything but i though I'd share the steps that i go through when I'm drawing. so here goes.

First the sketch

Now i say this all the time but i draw the penis last, or in this case not at all. As you'll see in the process pic that will follow, i drew it after i Inked it.

As you may have noticed, the process here was a little unorthodox. Thanks to the ability to have layers on a drawing, i go a little off the beaten path sometimes, case in point, once for a drawing i went from line art to finishing the background then back to the main piece again. There are MANY different ways to go about a drawing, especially where a traditional to digital work flow is concerned.

Here after i inked it i colored his hair right after. I haven't drawn him in Years and this being the first time i colored him, his hair and skin tone had to be thought of and done early on for me to get a good grip of how he'll look.
After that was done, i added the "equipment".

So that's the first 4 drawings of the first line.

Now time for the flats or flat colors which i did below the Hair color layer and line art layer. This makes thing easier for me because later on I'll just merge them ( the color layers ) making things easier.
After deciding the light source ( which can be all over the place sometimes) i start the shading. After that, i add what i like to call the " shine " layer, which is all those little lines and circles of light that appear around his body.
The next step is not always necessary but i like to do that if i feel like i need to. I duplicate the flat colors layer and set it to multiply and lower the opacity. This gives him an overall less bright skin tone.

Now we're done with line two.

At the very bottom line are the background and final touches, which are usually easy because i have them ( the layers for the background ) underneath everything. Next if I'm not happy with the overall look of the pic, i go in the adjustments and play around with the Hue/Saturation until i get what i want.
And then Finally i added vascular details ( or veins) to finish it up.

That and a little text for him to talk.

So the you go, Achaim the Barbarian! drawn after a drawing i did of him over FOUR years ago !

Not a bad update if you ask me. :D

Hope you enjoyed this and/or found it somewhat useful.

More soon, enjoy !

I'm not dead! as proof, i brought Sketches !

Lol-tastic title XD

What's going on people! A few things have been going on for me, preparing for a trip, renovation in my room, sleep ( lol ) that i haven't really had the drive to draw digitally, but i HAVE been drawing, and i do like to share sketches here, so here goes!
First up is this guy:

I STILL don't have a name for him, can you believe it? And these are drawn from 3 separate drawings ( from a total of 4) So i've been drawing and thinking a lot about this character and i want to pair him with Ghork, but i still don't have a damn name. Any suggestion are welcome. On the left i drew him in a more serious style, then a more cartoony one, the middle is a side view and the other is a full body one. and yes, i believe i've said it already but when i sketch it's mostly tame, and i pretty much always draw the penis last.

Next up is a few various sketches

I got a book recently that does a little more in depth on the anatomy of non human creatures, it's helpful and gave me a few ideas.

I also wanted to practice backgrounds and composition and creating a scene. I'm not sure who this guy is yet, but it looks like he's found and underwater passage in a cave leading to someone's home. A wizard maybe? who knows, as long as i gave off that feel.

Now this next guy i was just practicing lips, and all of a Sudden i created another O.C XD

He's Max, the tall Goblin. Goblins are usually short and pudgy so he was very fun to draw. It was also fun to try something different with the eyes and go for more of a cute look. Heart undies FTW haha.

Next i drew Abe, for the first time Traditionally too

Now this i drew just to relax, i didn't focus much on shapes and a lot of stuff which is way some things looks a little off, but it was fun to draw him again, i think i was practicing eyes while doing this XD. Meh, can't exactly remember.

Next is Dimitri

Now there was a time on the y! gallery when there was a Design your own elf contest, and i drew Three Elves, Blad, Rence and Dimitri that you can see Here, Here and Here . Of the 3 Dimitri was overall better received, and i actaully drew him afterwards but nothing i felt like finishing and posting. But if you've read my comments on the y! then you know that i've been revisiting my old O.Cs and drawing them again. Here Dimitri looks much more serious, more then i wanted, but it's still worth sharing.

Finally here is Achaim the Barbarian.

It's been YEARS since i drew him. I would say more, but i'm saving that for his own post since i finished and colored him.

There are a few other sketch that i have here too, but i'm not posting them for a few reasons :).

Anyway, hope you enjoy! And I'll be back on track soon. I've got a few things i wanted to draw and i have a few request in the waiting still so hopefully there will be more soon!

Later folks! much love!

Sketches !!!!!!

Hey everyone !

So it's been a while since i drew anything really new because of my artist block, but I think it's important to mention that i HAVE been drawing during.

Every time i have an artist block i either have a breakthrough or learn something from it, and this time i think i've learned to just be more confident in what i do and just do it :) , because for some reason i just wasn't satisfied with what i was doing.

Anyway, here we go :

This is Lerroy, is he a new O.C !?!

During my artist block i posted a Journal on my Y! gallery page, and some people suggested drawing Original characters, but the truth is though, this guy is NOT a new O.C, i drew him about 3 years ago ( that's right, i said years) i just decided to give him an updated look please excuse the missing hand and/or Limbs on this and the other sketches cause that was one of the big issues of my artist block.

This is ALSO a revamp of a character i drew a very long time ago. He's a Barbarian and i had and still have plans for him, his name's Achaim, and this revamp shows a little more details in on his attire.

Now these guys however...

Are pretty new... so new i don't even have names for them XD.
Tell me if you like these guys cause i think they're pretty interesting, the first guy is human, he just has mechanized armor ( so technically not a cyborg ), the second is an elf character ( yes more elves, lol ) but i put a great deal of detail on him, and lastly i drew this when i had a free hour at my job, it's two characters going at it, who's really good ? Why do they have matching features ? Are they related ? Are they lovers ? Are they really fighting ? the answer isn't quite clear , even for me, but it's very interesting.

No i'm not done yet, lol 5 more to go ( lol, yep, and i'm not even posting all of em, i think i even remember a Ryu from street fighter pic of him getting fucked by Akuma and Sagat, i'm pretty sure i started a pic of Glass Joe and Little Mac from Punch out, sigh, but such is life... and artist block )

So i don't know if you've been living under a rock, but a new Club has taken the y! gallery by storm, and that's the new Pokemon Gijinka HQ club,that has an awesome Pokemon of the week that gives a us a Pokemon to draw in human form every week, and if my Artist block wasn't in motion, you would have seen :

My Aggron

My Umbreon

And my Corsola ( Using Harden right here )

With the things i gotta finish up, i might finish these in the future, but it's not a guarantee... this is why i do these posts ! lol

I also got a suggestion to do more couple pictures, and Pokemon Soul Silver is what i've been playing recently, so Pokemon trainers it was

This is Champion Wallace and Champion Steven, who i've actually wanted to draw for a while just like

Flint and Volkner here, it just seems to me that there's something going on between these guys more then just " friendship" but then again i'm just perverted, lol.

PHEW ! okay ! well enjoy those guys, and know that i'm Steadily getting the Mojo back so you might see some more stuff from me soon :).

I Loves you all ! and ENJOY !!

Devil Joe and Achaim's Return !!

Hey again !

Ok, these two guys are the other two candidates that will battle it out for a spot for a comic with the Pretty Boys.

First, my Newest Creation : DEVIL JOE !!

" Because someone has the be the Unaverage Joe " I think that's the BEST LINE EVER for him !

Now, about Joe, he's the Devil's son, and he loves to prank people, which make daddy S very proud, but also angry because he gets pranked by Joe too !

I have his story set out to be a funny, sexy and touching good time. It focuses mostly on his life on Earth, as it gets turned around when he falls for this guys named Joey ( i know, how cliché lol ) which forces Joe's nice side that he desperatly tries to keep inside for appearances sake to come pouring out ! With Cameos from his Dad THE Devil (the somewhat nice ever since Joe was born devil ) and his Brother Dracula (the sex fiend), i think it's gonna be a good time !

In the pic above, you can see Joe's Human form ( with tail ) in the back. His Tail in human and devil form i drew to ressemble a J.

And now Achaim, the Barbarian Sex Beast !

If i have to make a debut with Achaim, it's gonna be with the scene above, where he visits a swamp filled with Dick weeds just for kicks for a little hot fun. Achaim is a very Aggresive person, and will get what he wants most of time, by force. This takes place long before the whole ordeal in a village where he gets locked up and meets a very special friend who's going to get him out.

To be completly honest, i was ( and kinda still am ) very afraid of showing Achaim the light of day again, for one MAJOR reason, and that's Zahn. Partick Fillions character. The LAST thing i want for a character i created is for him to be treated like a rip off. But then i told myself, hey, just check my gallery, i've had plans for this guy for a while.

ANYWAY !!

Devil Joe, Achaim, The Pretty Boys ... i'd love to know what you think i should work on, what you think looks interesting and worth makig a comic over, I'm Always all ears !!
