Dispari's Art Thread

My journal has examples of the different styles.

I'm curious on something, kind of in the same thought process as LJ in a sense. What do you do when an artist doesn't have those processes?

Really, it's not a big deal. As I mentioned, it's for your benefit as well as mine. The point of asking for the different stages is so I can sign off on things like details and colors, so an artist doesn't have to redo things. If, when I say, "I like to see a copy of the sketch, ink, and flats," you say "I don't really have those stages," we could still work something out. Either we can go from sketch to finish, or you can just offer regular updates when you want to make sure things are okay from one point to another. Whatever it is, we can work something out.

I suppose, after thinking about it, in the long run, I really don't mind that at any stage along the way I can easily drop a "digital white-out" over an area to fix a concern or add a different detail without really facing too much effort Can even say that to some degree that's the glory of digital. I can add and remove sections of a piece at will, separate it into a new layer for safe keeping or alter a new piece over, whatever the case may be. The Bonus of Ctrl+Shift+C and never merging a file! Might hog my hard drive, but at least the .jpg is comparably small!

My stages are simple

BLUE - for the pose. Once the client signs off on that, there's no changing.

Everything beyond that is easy for me to change. Want the shirt color changed? No problem? Want the shading lighter? Easy.

It's all in how you layer.

Heheheh, I know what you mean.

This thread has been an interesting mini-look into the assortment of processes for the handful of artists here.

Mine is basically: rough pose/composition sketch, detailed sketch, inks/flats w/ rough shading/highlight guide, finished product. I decided to drop the inks then flats steps because I tend to use off-colors for flats to make it easier for myself when selecting areas to color, etc.* And inks/flats are easy to tweak.

*but my toon wears black on black on black on black, what's with all the greys? (I hate rendering black.)

Oooh, looks cool.

I'm sure Doug didn't start out being that spectacularly awesome. There are many years of hard work to get him where he is. You have a lovely style and we all appreciate you sharing

Post in the wrong thread much, Larissa? =P

Ooops, lol How did I do that?!

This picture is basically "done," but the artist is out of town for a week. She just needs to add purple lipstick and to sign her name and everything. I also had to resize it (from over 3000x3000). But I wanted to share this picture.

Dang, that one is nice. I'm lovin' the personality!

Very cute piece

Victoria Noir, the classy French assassin.

Now featured on her VV page -- not that I keep it up-to-date like Toma's.

Artwork once again done by Syrae-Universe at http://www.my-endlessimagination.net/

I'm probably going to start looking up artists in this thread and around the forums for pictures of Tomatre soon. But it's going to be at least two weeks, if not four. I have some other expenses I need to tend to.
