Adult Swim started airing a new series called My Adventures with Superman. The character designs and the plot are so original and fun. Pretty much after each episode I have to get a sketch done. Right now it’s a lot pose studies trying to get a feeling for how I like to draw them.
Very excited the new season of Jujutsu Kaisen started up it was very cool seeing younger character designs of the teachers as students. Awesome surprise Amazon Prime premiered Shin Kamen Rider it was a perfect Kamen movie the homages and fights all well done. Big fan of the Eurobeat sound style purely based on all the Initial D I watched, a fun song is out now called “Planet of the Bass” by Kyle Gordon.
Months ago I did a character design for CDC challenge based on a modern witch. They were incomplete and got around to cleaning up the rough blue line sketches. Some character poses for Ultraman, I really enjoyed the new Shin Ultraman movie.
Some recent fan art drawings Cammy from SF6. Makima and Power from Chainsaw Man, recently finished some character poses and laid them out.
A recent video came called Forespoken has a main character I had to do some drawings based on her design. I follow a number of OC artists it’s very exciting to see in general what people across the world draw for original character designs. One of them is named Suizilla that artist created a character named Mabel. It was fun interpreting their style to some poses in Clip Studio. Also I spent sometime on some face studies using Pinterest photos as references.
Some recent drawings all done in Clip Studio. The costume for Supergirl in “The Flash” looks great I wanted to draw some poses based on that costume. A month late on last months character design challenge topic: Raccoon thief. I had a thumbnail sketch on a scrap sheet of paper I wanted to finish the initial character design. Also I haven’t done a Miku Monday in a bit, the idea of Miku being a battle suit was something I had to draw.
Recently watched a Netflix animated series called Dragon Age: Absolution. One of the main characters Qwydiona had an amazing character design. I had to do a couple of drawings of her. Also some recent Pinterest referenced face studies.
This season a number of really fun anime has been airing. Usually after a couple episodes I like to do some character sketches based on the initial designs. I have a few more in my Procreate folder to post but here are some from “Trigun Stampede” and “The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady”. Most of the seasonal shows I watch on Crunchyroll I pick them purely based on the art style of the show I watch pretty much all genres to get inspired.
Netflix recently released a new series called My Dad the Bounty Hunter. The character designs for the lead family are really inspiring. After an episode I would usually sketch some the characters doing something. After a while I had enough very rough sketches to go back and clean up the line-work and finish the sketches a bit more.
Really enjoyed Creed III the soundtrack is also phenomenal. I drew these boxing illustrations really trying not to look or think about Ippo a super famous boxing manga. At the office I keep a small traditional sketchbook once in a while after a quick lunch I like to do some car studies. It’s funny after a while I realized I had another series of cars I could put together in one layout.
Just recently wrapped up editing my annual end of the year art book. I need to go back and adjust some images for print etc. Also this is the first year I did the entire thing using Affinity’s Design Suite.
Also because it’s the New year I had to do a couple of New Year themed illustrations to go with the theme.
During holiday break I started cleaning up my MANY random folders of WIP artwork. I am not sure when I will get to my yearly art book production hopefully before spring. Some recent illustrations and my end of the year Blender video collection for 2022. I have a couple of other things in rough render WIP folders but I need to figure out a proper PC build for 2023.
