The Battle

This is a pretty intense scene that I couldn't help but finish and share.

The outline I had was pretty rough. And I wasn't

entirely sold on the idea of an eye... cannon... thing.

Once I started the actual linework I noticed

that the creature is a blob, and as such cannot have

black outlines (unless it was tar)

Once I did the linework I kinda knew that red was going to be the theme

color of this piece so I complemented it as best I could.

The glowing effects from the lava slime was essential.

It helps sell the hopeless look on the young hero's face.

Heh...

And then I added some color passes under a soft light

layer just to make it all pop just a little more!

I hope this guy lives.... but maybe not.

Rolling Hills Animation

I just realized I never uploaded the video of

the Rolling hills for you all to see!

Well, this is it basically! I had to butcher

this character's color for now and there's no sound.

Still, I'm happy with how this came out.

Aegis Canyon

Trying to get back into the swing of backgrounds!

So, I started with some cylinders (simple shapes

are working better for me).

Then I took my time and detailed everything I saw

along my vanishing point.

I don't intend on keeping the outlines, but

I needed to go over the base sketch again

to make sure I want to keep it all. Adding at least

this base white color  helps me layer each part

of the piece in place.

After removing the lines I don't want, I blend

the lines I kept into the now added color and gradients

by makling it a soft light and viola! The

yellowest canyon road you'll ever see!
