Weekly Wrap-Up 12-26-21

A few days before the end of the year. I had a couple of render experiments I wrapped up last week and a few drawings that I will probably get to over the week. Looking back I spent around 10 months with Blender off and on it’s been a fun learning experience. I am on my second notebook three of the most difficult things include sculpting, rigging and the most recent addition nodes. Really hoping to grasp those higher end functions.

I did create my annual holiday card it’s always a blast to do something traditional normal each year. I also do plan on getting back into the habit of a yearly art book and if possible create one from last year. It’s going to bug my having a missing year on my bookshelf.

Really enjoying the new Static Shock run by Milestone Comics I had to do some pose studies based on the costume design. In Blender experimenting with the physics function successfully got an object with gravity and weight to collide and smash through a wall made of individual objects.
Also a couple days ago Blender launched the 3.0 update I had a watch assembly render that needed to be rendered in EEVEE. It was a perfect time to try it out.

Catching up on some Netflix shows while on the treadmill it always leads me wanting to fan art of my recent watched. Kate was interesting and Studio Mir’s The Witcher movie was incredible. I also cleaned up a couple of rough Miles Morales sketches and realized I had enough to post a complete set in one layout. Also once in a while I stumble onto One Million Dance Studio that YouTube page always inspires me to do a quick animation.

Finished up a last minute Halloween animation based on Samara from “The Ring”. Cleaned up a sketch I started while waiting for some car work to finish. Also did a DTIYS based on @durna_david’s OC I really liked the character layouts he posted and wanted to give it a shot.

Once in a while I like to do model studies from a rough sketch to full colors with a couple of basic brushes. The lighting on the skin is challenging but so much fun. Had to draw something after the fantastic conclusion of Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Anno nailed the ending. Also did a Draw This in Your Style for @villaisdrawing it was an incredible character design to draw.

Just wanted to do a series of sketches based on Sha’Carri Richardson. Her style is really one of a kind and the photography of her hair flowing was truly inspiring. Also a fun Draw This In Your Style fanart for @kuvshinov_ilya OC.

Now that I am a bit familiar with the UI of Blender I revisited using Grease Pencil for animation. I referenced the skate environment and the board. After that I tried to find the interesting camera shots then drew a skateboarder to finish up the shot. Also I saw an awesome OC by @OhHeyDJ and did a couple of illustrations based on his character.

Super into doing some late night fan art in Procreate the last couple of weeks. Yasuke on Netflix was incredibly inspiring I loved the soundtrack and the vibe of the world. DOTA Book 1 on Netflix was incredibly dark and the fantasy designs were so much fun. I had to do a draw this in your style when J Scott Campbell posted his design. Besides that a couple of illustrations based on photo studies.

Cleaned up a Blender study of my home office. Finished a couple of illustrations based on a couple of reference photos. Recently found out about 9B Collective I attended an awesome drawing session the theme was One Punch Man. I did a couple of illustrations while the session was in process.
