Color enhancing + Values

Hi guys! I'm not sure if calling this a tutorial since it's more of a "behind-the-scenes" at how I enhance and finish up my artworks on my PC using Photoshop. In the picture displayed at the top of this post you can see how the colors in the picture in the right stand out more and are more vivid than the one in the left.

Leif x Aiki - Pokémon Sword/Shield

Hi guys! Just finished this special artwork featuring this cute couple having a good time playing the new Pokémon games on their Nintendo Switch! I'm so in love with how this artwork came out and definitely gonna make this my new phone wallpaper haha.

There are still more Pokémon themed artworks that I'd like to do, s...

Leif x Aiki sketch - Video

Here's a short timelapse video of the making of yesterday's sketch. I'm very excited to see this finished soon so I'll do my best.

I hope you like it! :D

Leif x Aiki: Pokémon Sword/Shield - Sketch

Long title... but yeah! 

For the special artwork of this month, Leif and Aiki were chosen as the subject. I wanted to do something special for the occasion and it took me some time (long) to figure it out.

To start with, I didn't want something too "cliche" although I'm not dismissing more lovely/intimate sce...

I've been having so much fun playing Pokemon Sword currently, but specially, so in love with many of the characters haha. I like that they all have different personalities and varied designs. I want to draw them all! ><

Thank you Patrons

Guys! Today is #ThankYouPatrons day and I thought I should take this chance to let you know how much your support means to me. not only my freelance artist career but also with in real life stuff. 

I remember I started (properly) running this Patreon page on April 2018, and since then, I've grown in many aspects. I...

Xelgot / Aiki / Leif - Concept sketches

Hello there! I've been pretty busy these days working on some pending commissions but I managed to sketch another of my main characters concepts: this time is Xelgot, Leif's big brother. 

He is the son of the leader of his clan and he's gonna take his father's place when the time comes someday (I still have to thin...

Aiki concept

Hi guys! Since it seems I will be illustrating something very special (and cute) soon, I thought it was the perfect time to sketch Aiki's character design and so here it is.

Next to him there are some weapon concepts. His dagger belonged to his father.

I also uploaded Leif's concept in case you missed it.  2019-11-13 23:30:51 +0000 UTC View Post

November Fanart Artwork - Round 2!

Hi again! I thought a second round of voting wouldn't be necessary but I need to confirm which of these two suggestions you'd like to see illustrated this month. Leif/Aiki have the majority of votes so far, however, there's not much ...

Fire-man

Here's the fire counterpart of the ice character that I drew previously. I may do some little enhancements on the ice guy and put these two together.

I had so much fun drawing this one. I hope you like it!

November Fanart Artwork - Voting!

Hi everyone, the time's come! These are the suggestions that I got for the monthly fanart. The most voted character will be illustrated by me just like I did with Nightwing and Cyclops previously.

I encourage you not to vote fo...

Sexy iceman

Hi there! I finally finished drawing this character and I'm pretty satisfied with his look (I maaaay revisit him at some point later). He has no name since it's just a "random character" created out of the blue but I may draw him again eventually.. I shall see.

What do you think? Would you also like to see a Fire counte...

Iceman - glow up

Here's another work in progress of the character from yesterday. He now looks more ice-y and the overall designed evolved a lot haha. I may add some tattoos here and there and more crystal shards.

I'm attaching the hi-res file of this picture in the post if you wanna take a closer look. Timelapse video of this piece wil...

Ice man - work in progress

Hi everyone! I've been a bit busy working with some commissions this week but I finally found some time to work on some personal stuff.

The other day the image of a sexy ice man stroke my head so I had to draw him. He doesn't look like an ice man currently but he will once I finish it haha.

By the way, this is the...

Leif final concept - sketch

Hello! From my previous post of Leif and Xelgot's rough concepts, I went and polish a bit more these two ideas for Leif's design and I must say that I'm so in love. 

I think his default outfit will end up being the second one and the sleeveless one can be a situational outfit during summer or hot days.

In the...

November Fanart - Suggestions

Hi guys! Since I want to make another full illustration like I did for Nightwing and Cyclops previously, I'd like to start with the process a bit early this month so I can finish it properly in time! And who knows, perhaps if time allows it, I may draw the 2nd most voted too (not as a full painting tho).

You can suggest...

Here's a little something I did at last hour haha. It's Leif and Aiki wearing cheap ass costumes cus low budget but it's honest work <3

Kala - Leif/Xelgot rough concepts

If I want to achieve a goal, I have to do a series of small steps that eventually will take me to it. If I always keep telling myself "you're still not good enough", "I don't have time", "later, when I'm more skilled" and stuff like that on a daily basis, I'll never get to it. Lately I've seen many things that made me realize...

Muscle arm studies

I felt like making some muscle arm studies because they can be tricky at times, specially the shoulder muscles, but once you understand how every muscle is connected to one another and the way they work when flexed, it becomes easier to draw.

When making studies is very important not to just "draw what you see" but actu...

Leaves

One of my dreams as an artist is to tell the stories of my characters in a comic format and I hope to achieve that dream someday. In the meantime, here's a very simple... panel? There's not really a story behind it but you can tell there's something between those two. I hope yu like it :)

Nightwing

Hi there! Here's the finished fanart artwork of Nightwing for October term. I enjoyed working on this piece so much and surprisingly it didn't take me as long as expected which is good! It will allow me to work on another artwork perhaps.

I hope it is of your liking and I'm looking forward for next month's fanart piece ...

+10k Thanks!

Here's a special drawing I did of my boys to celebrate that I hit 10k followers on Twitter the other day. It's such a milestone that it deserved something special. I hope you like it and thanks for supporting my work! ^^

Nightwing Update

Here's an update on the Nightwing ilustration. Still much to do but I think it's going in the right direction already. Surprisingly, this is not taking me as long as I expected! I might be able to finish it in a couple of days or so.

I hope you like it!

Comtesse Hera - Smite side project

Hello! For today's post I wanted to share some of the progress of a personal concept art project that I've been working on the side. It's a fan skin concept for one of Smite's characters: Hera. 

Since some time ago, I wanted to make something inspired in Versailles aesthetic and I found Hera and Argus (the loyal se...

Nightwing - First Look Timelapse Video

Hi there! Here's a timelapse video from my iPad showcasing how I came to draw Nightwing from scratch up to the First look picture you saw on my previous post.

From now on, I will continue working on this illustration on my PC and the full timelapse video with all the rendering process, etc, will be part of this month's ...

Nightwing - First look

Hi everyone! Here's the first look at my incoming Nightwing artwork. I'm enjoying working on this one so much so far! I will be making updates on this project during these days.

Tomorrow I will post a timelapse video showcasing how I went from scratch to the finished lineart. Stay tuned!

I hope you like it!

Plant Boys!

Since I feel like I should draw my ocs more often, here's some art of Leif and Aiki. I also love plants aesthetics so I had to include it. I want to improve my drawing plants technique so I'll try to include nature in my personal art as much as possible. So far, I think I've improved.

Also! The next illustration for thi...
