February art requests for the $5 tier! (Patreon)
Content
It's high time to get a jump on the ol' February art requests with you fine folks of the $5 tier! As usual, the focus for these pieces and sketch sets will be on Clip Studio Paint digital-art tests, but with a slightly different, two-pronged approach over the next few months:
1) First, while I'm quite comfortable sketching and drawing roughs in CSP, I am nowhere near having a viable art technique for finished, printable comic pages and illos. None of the app's default brushes for pencils or inks can deliver the linework quality I'm looking for, so clearly I need to experiment with new brushes, whether from CSP's add-on capabilities or via third-party "brush providers" like Frenden, from whom I recently acquired the 800-brush(!) pack. So, you'll likely see me messing around with wildly varying new brushes in art-request sketch dumps for the foreseeable future.
2) While I'm still on the hunt for "final art" brushes, in the meantime I also need to start experimenting with CSP's tools for comic-page production. So, you'll probably see sketch dumps formatted as faux comic pages, or speed lines gracing random illos, or screen-tone tests on headshots, or Lord knows what else. Gotta familiarize myself with the full CSP toolset, y'see, as I approach the point of "going whole hog with the digital," a process which I'll address in more detail later.
So fire away with any character suggestions or situation requests you might have, oh $5 folks! Could my own characters, or other characters, or more iterations of material I've already drawn here. Come to think of it, this could branch out beyond simple character choices to, I dunno, something broader for me to mess around with using CSP. Scenes or settings from earlier projects? Animals? (I'm in the middle of an animal-heavy episode of EMP12 at the moment.) Trees? Environments? Cars (God forbid)? Life drawing subjects? Robots?
