122 - 10th Sketch of the Month🎂 - 🎉Artist's Picks 🎁✨ (Patreon)
Content
Remember when I said after the very first "Sketch of the Month" that I won't sketch all the characters again that are nominated?
.....
...
SO ANYWAYS I just did that. xd
At least I went for a more sketchy style this time and didn't go in on a full perfectionist way.💦
I recently made some plans what to publish for the rest of the year, and was checking old artworks. The last thing I was checking out was the Lynx sketch I did. I thought I should go back and sketch like that, so I set up a goal to aim at before working on these.
- First I sketched "Silk".
And tbh, I was so not satisfied with the base sketch, I almost scrapped the whole thing. I still think I just gave her some bombastic thick thighs... x'd and.. other anatomically incorrect things.. Man, females are hard to draw. ;A;
I tried to find another reference example like the picture I got where she's "fully masked", but I think that's an edit, cuz I didn't even find that exact same pic anywhere. So I went with the same "add spidey lenses" for the eyes, just like how she looks like in the poll's character showcase table.
During the whole work on these drawings I mainly used 2 colours: a gray and a pink one. That's why she has pink instead of red too.
- The next drawing I worked on was "daddy Umbra" and man, I did enjoy working on this for sure.
I worked on the body first then the last thing was the helmet... which was difficult to understand, but cuz I had multiple examples and other fanarts, I could work pretty fast with it.
Obviously, I skipped his scarf for.... understandable reasons. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I mean-, I didn't want to censore the details of the character, cuz that scarf is long, ya know. At least I added his loincloth there. xd
For his details, I was checking a collectable statue photo of him. Thought at that moment, that it could be pretty handy if I had it irl. For his helmet I looked at fanarts, and my own sfm screenshots.
.............also while adjusting some parts of him I was joking to myself that "the big tiddies STAY!"... of course I was making em bigger while thinking that.
I think I could have made him wider or something to fit the "daddy" label more.... or give him a beer belly? xd Anyways, I stopped myself cuz of the "this is meant to be just a sketch" theme.
Btw, It was good to draw something warframe again. Haven't done that since the beginning of the year.. (Also this post is the 99th patreon post tagged with "Warframe", heh. c: )
- Then the last character I drew was the "Elite Combine Soldier".
A friend sent me a video recently that featured this character.. I took that as a sign to go at it.. xd The video was a funny meme kinda one, and I did not understand what was even happening. So I was thinking I'd try to sketch this guy in a similar vibe, being funny and all. I was thinking I should get a funny pose or something...
Theeeen somehow it ended up this way. Slurping on a smoothie or some shake, and giving that annoyed/not interested/bored one eye in the center of the visor was the peak part of my work on this. xd
(yes, I did think of Tali before working on this. Kinda the reason I thought this could work too.)
Also, this character got 3 votes in the polls, so he was just 1 vote behind the top 3rd.
- All of these were done on the same day one after the other. Could say that I was in the mood for a lil sketching. And maybe the fact that these were kinda done in a quick manner, helped me to increase the quantity (and not the quality).
- The reason there are so many Umbra variants is cuz I couldn't really chose from all the different brightness versions.. :'d So I just dump it all together. Hopefully later when it's publishing time, I'll have The One ready to go.
- Oh, and the first picture here is how the canvas looked when I worked on these.
Sooooo there ya have it.
