Rosalina's Starbits - Style Study (Patreon)

SURPRISE!!

I drew this huge Rosalina because i'm hyped for the movie AND i was eager to test the new style i'm working on.

I couldn't resist myself folks, bear with me while i finish the rewards, most of them will be up this week and i have some small updates i'll send through the chat and Discord :)

That being said, i'm about to yap a bit on the process!

I took inspiration from some artists i've been admiring for a bit, which are nsfw but not wg related. MAN their color theory is rock solid. That will be my main goal this year: to finally master Color Theory.

Now, this new style focuses on clean lineart that doesn't abuse line thickness for depth, in fact, it erases some edges to add flow to the composition. I'd argue it has some manga/manwha roots in it. Some key changes that involve the lineart are: The eyes, the hair and the hands. (The hands here aren't perfect but tbh this piece was made to test the visual appeal).

I didn't change my usual shading brush, but i feel like it still looks very different thanks to the approach. Feel free to Zoom-In for the details, there are some cool additions 👀

I was also pleasantly surprised that this piece took me an hour less to draw than Reze's piece!

I'd love to do the Burger Rewards in a more Simple Shaded style, here's a quick edit i made for this piece as an example:

This style has something very cool about its process: it's FUN. I'm gonna be streaming in the Discord Server very soon, you'll get to see how flexible and painterly it is :3

Do note! TBTW and its key art will remain the same for consistency, because i also love that look. I'll only improve the visuals that don't alter the fundamentals of the Character Designs.

Let me know your thoughts on the new style! :D

Thank you for reading my yap session! I'll keep on experimenting and updating you guys. See y'all soon with the mini updates and more drawings.
