A Moment of Clarity

I finished these last week, meh. Drained the hell out of me, and to think I've promised all 12 months…

Edit Before I even Posted:

Yknow what, fuck the whole thing I had written beforehand. I'm the furthest thing from mentally stable this week as it gets, and I'll deal with it like I always do.

NOW, please, enjoy your blog. *bows*

These are 30-60 second gestures I worked on earlier just to see if I could clear my head.

Out of curiosity, how long does it make you to draw each image? I can't imagine having the patience and motivation you'd need in order to do all this.

Thanks Moikle, I kinda struggle each time to bring something out. Motivation for the past 2 years has either been at an all time low, or school is just sapping all the creativity I have left, because I don't have the luxury of taking a semester off. But yea… I try and keep em coming!

As for how long it takes for each one of these? I'm assuming you mean the finished ones. Well, I'll lay it out in steps.

1: Initial sketch: approx 1hr (depending on the pose, the poses often take me the longest to figure out)

2: Clean sketch + extra details + changes: 2-3hrs

3: Inking + final details + changes: 6-8hrs (depending on the amount of detail)

So yea… I usually do all of this in one sitting. So it can easily take a whole 12 hours straight. I don't know if I'm either slow as hell, or what. Your usual comic artist could pull off what I do in half that time, lol.

It's weird to see non-UT-style art from you.

And what's this? EOTechs? AFGs? Ranger Plates? These aren't weird futuristic weapons!

And a fabric chest rig instead? Why is this creepy bunny not wearing anything that requires hydraulics?!

Also, a creepy bunny?!

I leave for a month, and you start expanding your talent. Geez!

I like it though.

Except the bunny. The world needs fewer bunnies.

@Cyrus: Trust me, I make it seem like I have all the patience in the world. I don't, which is why I finish these in one massive blood clot of a sitting. I've really been trying to work on my habit of rushing things lately, so these are the product of that.

@FSX: Yeaaa… haha. I tend to switch gears -a lot-. I still do a lot of the futuristic stuff, but lately I've been chilling on that just so I can explore a darker style for a while. I've always been a fan of the whole comic style, so I'm actually just traveling back in time and refining something I've done previously.

Thanks btw. I struggle with almost every piece, haha, so as long as I'm hearing I'm expanding, I'm satisfied.

Plot twist twist twist:

He used to be the easter bunny but after a night of heavy drinking realized the world had gone to shit, and the only solution was to destroy the world and rebuild it from the ground up with an army of bunnies!

He also has a personal vendetta against santa and his hoardes of elves.
