This scribbly and sketchy painting was inspired directly from Heathers, and is meant to be an alternate version of Veronica's confrontation with the story's antagonist.
I wanted to attempt a ligne claire, tintin-y style on my main character of Project: Lunar Stride, and compare it to my own style. (Small exploration on the left, my own style on the left.)
Having gotten new paints that day, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try a loose little landscape.
Painted after a rough day at uni and sharing in the osmosis of Trigun Stampede from my online circles, it doesn't hurt to have painted Vash with myself to stargaze.
Some more tinkering with my spidersona design, seeing what could be improved or changed. I'd however accidentally given her my NORMAL civilian manner of tying up her hair instead of using her usual one...
A concept painting of a faith-based character which asks the question: what if a Jedi Padawan had forsaken the Force to come to Christ instead?
A lineup of all my Star Wars original characters so far. Left to Right: Petra-Ariel, Maddox Darling, and his sister Sophia Darling!
A bit more of a dramatic painting, I wanted to challenge myself using a colour palette I don't gravitate to: the use of light browns and light yellows.
The final page in the painted sketchbook, a few days closing in to the due date of the honours submission. I'm still proud of the lighting on this one.
Sketchbook Best Painting Special: Chapter Two
When I was given a sketchbook of a brand that I hated for Christmas 2022, I made the decision to have fun with it anyway and paint in *every single page* with my watercolour and gouache. This special edition of my Sketchbook Best will have plenty more illustrations than sketches, but rest assured - I was proud of many of these pieces then, and I still am now.
These pages in particular were painted from late February 2023, and finishing into mid-October 2023.
