Art request sketch dump (from the $10 & $20 tiers) (Patreon)
Content
Running short on posting time today, so here's a quick dump of a few Clip Studio Paint sketch sets, based in part on art requests from the Big Spenders of the higher tiers and in part on general-purpose life drawing from photoreference.
Some notes:
First set above is mainly life drawings, with the requested Widowmaker/Tracer image referenced off a well-photographed cosplay recreation of the infamous Overwatch pic.
Next set's damsel-in-distress pic above was a request based on a Empowered scene in which Emp, wearing a faux cosplay version (with heels) of her own costume for a part-time job, frees herself by pulling her taped wrists from behind her back, as seen in the vol.6 page below:
I kinda finessed the point about how, or if, Emp could successfully pry her hands past those heels in that manner; briefly looked online for ref on the new sketch, and still remain unsure. However, I did stumble across a few escape artistry videos that will likely see use in future Empowered stories, including a surprising way to get out of strip cuffs that would definitely be Emp-appropriate (as, well, it involves banging wrists against butt).
Next up were the art requests above, for Blade Runner, Chat Noir and Lady Bug from Miraculous, and a li'l something Umbrella Academy-related. (I'm not a big fan of the UA designs, so I hope the Patron appreciates me dragging my ass through that sketch.)
Finally, one art request was for the animated series Gargoyles, so I dug up the 2003 con sketch (drawn on patterned linen-finish cardstock) below:
In closing, I should add that I finished still another pair of art requests these tiers, but as they both involve "damsel in distress" content, I'll be posting 'em on "DiD Wednesday."
