I dunno wot I'm doing here yet. Just following artists I enjoy and other misc stuff. Learning Digital Art. I probably won't really talk much, just ramble in posts if I feel like it. I am a reclusive creature. May finish some full pieces of art... Someday™

I have no clue if I am uploading this correctly as per usual... prolly gonna be squashed on here but OH WELL. So yee, this here is Zohla :v yet ANOTHER Drow (or Droh as I call them in my totally legally distinct world in my head I will probably never develop lol) and she's been sitting in my head for a long while (and my Tomodachi Life island too of course.) I still suck at hair and eyes... and lips really... but I must learn somehow uwu yes.
I am thinking of maybe moving slightly towards less complicated lips and noses on my next pics after I am finished with this Gal here. I feel like anytime I get to colouring in the eyes & eyelashes, mouth/lips, noses, and hair, progress just comes to a stand still... so I'm gonna maybe see if I can adjust that a bit as I keep painting over this lady! I'm still not exactly happy with the hair either, and the eyelashes have yet to be painted. Also redid the eyes and am still fighting myself in my head about them lol. I have too many thoughts on what is wrong so I shall cease my rambling! I'll see if I can maybe get another post here in less time the next time around.
Yeah getting the facial hair right was kind of hard since I was struggling to get it to meet his skin in a more organic way, so eventually I just tried painting flesh tones into the facial hair as opposed to painting a lot of really bad looking strands of hair and it seemed to work out. Not sure if I got the scars quite how I wanted them, but this was supposed to be a quick pic originally, another test of Greyscale to Colour with a Gradient Map and I am pleased to say it was a success methinks. I got a nice pic of Elfyman now all set for reference down the line when I wish to draw something full body/in scenery. Borders are definitely something I wish to work on eventually, and backgrounds too, although this background I kind of just wanted it to be super dark and maybe have a bit of a cosmic look to it amidst the burning orange marks creeping in the back there.
I have named her... Ra'Vira. Another demon-lady of some sort I guess. Something related to the woods porhaps? And the darkness, and what watched in the dark. What does the name mean? I dunno... I'm bad at names. She turned out more saturated than I initially envisioned. She's been in my brainbox for a while and I just decided on a whim to start doing a quick picture of her last night and here it is.
I feel like the scariest things to work on so far are the eyes and the hair. Not sure how I'll get the facial hair to meet the skin in a more natural way, but for now it's just a solid colour block really. And eyes are kind of messed up a bit too at the moment, gonna tweak them around and properly colour the pupils in and the eyelashes as best I can. Yeah... Eyebools and Hairy Bits are always the hardest for me lol, and maybe the edges too as I feel like I still fail to achieve the properly 3D look/a sense of depth at the edge of my stuff, but hey! LEARNING! K done rambling...
I turned off the lineart so she's prolly a bit smudgy looking in spots, but yee I wanna come back to this at some point and at least flesh it out more. That chair got really out of control for how much time I spent on it. I don't even know if it was really worth it, but I do like all the funky shapes I got in there, plus the fabric of her dress draped over it was fun to do too.
Just another shot at trying Greyscale to Colour with a different character (he is also a Drow so prepare for more blue people). Haven't really gotten the shapes I want 100% in some areas yet, but oh lawd I'm trying. I should draw him happier one day... maybe when I draw a full body where he gets one of his signature BIG COATS™, because any good Sorcerer loves big coats.
This was the first sort of beeg Kloh pic I tried my hand at. The main reason I kind of dropped it was because I was not happy with the belt/waist area on her outfit so I just kind of gave up lol. The thought of painting that over felt like it'd be a lengthy process beyond my skill level. Porhaps some day I shall go back, because I do quite like this one for the most part.
A little paint over of the first attempt! Little help from friendo teaching me The Ways of Colour™ and making things pop/contrast more.
Latest WIP so far. Just got her eyes painted in and gonna leave them as is for now. Still not sure I am super happy with how the horns are looking, or if the skin is too over exposed/could use some other colours to balance it out (never really worked much outside of Greyscale) but I'll keep on trucking on! I could rant and rant about my nitpicks lol but it's best to just keep on going and hopefully improving as I go.
