Project ADC-1 Concept Art.  I switched off the pencil layer, blended in the colour blocks and did some more detailed painting.

Concept Art: Sylen Benevolen 1B

July 24, 2015

Digital Art

Project ADC-1 Concept Art.  I’ve blocked in the colours for the Benevolen concept.  In Manga Studio, I started with the brush tool and then found that the pen tool lays down colour more evenly – which is what I wanted for blocking in.

Concept Art: Sylen Benevolen 1

July 22, 2015

Digital Art

OK here’s a character concept sketch of the main protagonist in my digital comic.  Using a reference photo, I worked in Manga Studio 5 with a Wacom graphics tablet.  This represents around 40 minutes of sketching for me.

July 19, 2015

Digital Art

I’ve been fleshing out my fictional world map a little bit more.  It now has continent names, a legend and depicts two of the locations for my ADC-1 project (Raneon and Suborea).

Just Bought Manga Studio 5!

July 12, 2015

Digital Art

For a while now I’ve been aware of Manga Studio – a digital art package that seemed to be more geared towards comics creation than other art packages.  I’d even made a mental note to download the trial version and give it a go.  However the other day, a friend of mine told me that it was currently on sale with…

Digital Painting Saturday 11th July 2015

July 11, 2015

Digital Art

I carried on with the painting I started on Thursday.  I can’t really call this a speed painting any more because the total time spent on it is now around 2 hours.  I’m struggling with his face a bit – the bridge of his nose it too prominent – I think I need to practice on a few more reference…

Speed Painting on Thursday 9th July 2015

July 9, 2015

Digital Art

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last took the Wacom out for a spin so I thought I’d do a 25 minute speed painting in Gimp.  I’ve always drawn onto a white canvas in the past but this time I thought I try painting onto a black canvas – I think it adds a certain moodiness.

Fictional World Map V3

July 7, 2015

Digital Art

I’ve been going round in circles with my fictional world map and in the end have decided to simplify a little.  Bump mapping wasn’t really in tune with the feel I wanted so I took that off, added some contour type areas and some text.  I don’t think the text is quite right so I will tweak that a bit,…

Fictional World Map V2 Mountain Base

June 23, 2015

Digital Art

I’m still working on a world map for my digital comic.  I’ve re-done the mountain bases to run along tectonic fault lines and also added a grain effect bump map to the land masses (thanks Phil). I’m in the middle of a wrestling match with Gimp to generate the mountain ridges that I want but I’m not winning at the…

Fictional World Map Tectonic Plates

June 11, 2015

Digital Art

My new pals at Gimp Chat gave some valuable feedback about the location of my mountains – they are rarely at the centre of land masses and should be determined by the location of tectonic plates. So I’ve gone back to the drawing board and decided where my tectonic plates are going to be: I can now see where my…
