Sketch sets (& a con sketch) based on $20-tier art requests! (Patreon)
Content
Haven't had much time to tackle November's art requests from the $20 tier's Big Spenders, due to actually making progress on Empowered vol.12; I've only managed 10 pages so far this month, but that's welcome progress nonetheless, believe me.
A few words on the few sketch sets I've cranked out around Emp pages:
Dino OC (Original Character) based on the Jurassic Park T-Rex that's been lurking beside my table (with its wee arm serving as a rest for my French curve) as since I first used it for reference in the 90s story Dirty Pair: I Honestly Hate You; alas, I've no time to dig up a link to that project, which I serialized here months ago.
For some reason, I have immense difficulty drawing domino masks that leave open skin around the eyes, as you can see on Lady Lawless above. (That's why you almost never see such masks in Empowered other than, I think, Makro.)
Not a particularly great Clip Studio Paint sketch set, TBH, but I'll cut it some slack, as I drew that on my iPad behind the steering wheel of my car. (Which, I hasten to clarify, was parked at the time.) Tried a "diaphanous dress" overlay on the Wheel of Time RPG OC, which proved tragically unsuccessful; in the gallery above, I've switched off that layer so you can see the slightly better figure drawing sans dress. (I was gonna post that image below, but Patreon's suddenly getting squirrelly.)
Finally, a Patron req'd Gwenpool, so I dug up a 2019 "damsel-in-distress" con sketch featureing her and Batroc zee Leaper. Note that, with the second version of the image, I tacked on a "postscript" piece that felt a bit more faithful to the actual comic (drawn by Guruhiru, whose work I really enjoy) that I was using for reference.
Note to Big Spender Patrons: Ehh, the rest of the art reqs I manage to crank out will likely comprise your tier(s)-exclusive monthly post, possibly along with a few new Empowered vol.12 pages.
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: More Vintage Con Sketches, folks!
