OC Commission Diane: Lineart and planning

Altered the pose a bit to make her more proportional and sexy, as requested by the customer.

OC Commission: Diane

My first fullbody commission :D

Here, I've tried out a new method for pose sketching.
Then sketched  some details over it.
I'm going to attempt foreshortening in this one.
Dear God, please help me.

Just a note: The character is wearing a corset, so her waist is much smaller than it would naturally be.

Splatter WIP

Got back from my trip yesterday. Had a lovely week, and am rather sad that it's over with.
To help me cope, I got to drawing.

The initial sketch was done while I was waiting for my connection in the airport.
I fixed the anatomy issues in SAI via a digital sketch. Now I'm attempting to do a digital painting, with no lineart.

The subject is the leader singer of the band Stolen Babies.

Stylization

I've kind of given up on figure studies for now. Just trying to relax between my busy schedule, and just draw.
So here's the framework for a stylized personal piece I hope to work on when I return from my trip late next week.

Half asleep. Will make alterations at a later point in time.

Commission Rant

No time for real artwork lately. Just some silly chibis to help me relax. They're fun to draw, don't hate.
In place of art, I give you a rant.


So, you're selling prints of a commission you did of fan art.


I cannot wrap my head around this.


There's this girl who's fan art always graces the front page of DA. She recreates scenes from Disney & Studio Ghibli movies, nearly line for line, and sells prints of them. Okay, whatever, a lot of people do that I guess.


But today, while clicking through the front page [as I usually do when I'm bored], I noticed some Howl's fanart she did. She mentions that it was a commission, then in bold and underlined eye catching text, she says to buy a print of it on another site. For about $17. She was already paid to draw the damn thing.
And I'm sorry, but if I ordered art from someone, I would not be okay with someone else being able to buy a copy of my commission for a fraction of the price. What the hell?

Redone Values & a Wing

Tried to be more aggressive with my values. Also added in one wing, still working on it.
