Added a character to the chapel background I made using Blender. The plan is to make this into a mockup of an RPG “fight” screen, so there are a few more elements to add before this is finished.
Learning Blender
After telling myself for years that I’m going to do it, I’m finally teaching myself the basics of Blender 3D modeling. My end goal is to speed up my process when drawing architectural backgrounds by blocking in the main forms in 3D. Here’s my first attempt:
I made some sort of small chapel using mostly the Archimesh add-on. Unfortunately, Blender kept crashing every time I try to render an image (for reasons I still haven’t worked out). So my horrible kludgy solution was to screencap the camera view and paste that into Clip Studio.
I painted the lighting, details, etc over top of the screencap…
…Aaaannd here’s the finished product!
This background is part of a mockup for an RPG idea I have floating around in my head, so you’ll be seeing more of it in the near future!
Bloodletting
Putting this under a “Read more” line for blood and (arguably) sexual content: Continue reading “Bloodletting”
Portraits
Can’t believe I missed posting these here! Oh well, here they are now! A couple of quick character portraits for a new game project I have in the works. These are for a pitch document and may or may not show up in the actual game in the end.
Client Work: King sprites
Haven’t posted in a bit, because I’ve been really busy. Things are finally slowing down some, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share this! Here are couple of sprites I made for a King Lear-esque character in my client Brian’s fantasy VN!
Clip Studio Test
I’ve been learning a new art program, and I’m really excited to show off the results! So here’s my first ever piece done entirely in Clip Studio!
Client Work: Longswordsman sprite
I had a lot of fun doing these sprites of a longsword-wielding character for my client Brian’s visual novel. Left is his original “neutral” pose sprite I did a couple years ago now, and right is his combat pose variation I completed earlier this month.
Vampire Queen
I’ve been poking away at this personal illustration of some sapphic vampires since the beginning of Pride month. I finally had a chance to finish it up this afternoon.
Client Work: Fire Mage Sprite
I finished this fire mage sprite for Brian’s fantasy VN earlier this week. Magic users are my favorite!
Client Work: Fungal Warlock
Really excited to get the OK to show off this piece I did for a client’s CRPG earlier this year! I had a lot of fun with this character and this strange, ominous landscape.
The game itself is currently in production. If you want to follow its progress, you can find the developer on Twitter @emptyfortress and Mastodon @emptyfortress@mastodon.social
