I can't thank enough the symetry ruler in CSP for existing :laughing:
Trying myself at art deco, I wanted to add more details and stuff but I guess I'm lazy and will just play with texture when I'll color this.

Studied a wheellock1 mechanism (for firearms - used to ignite the gunpowder, but oooo expensive to produce).

Edit: oh also "chill lake times," I colored my art fight attack (Leon O'Hannon belonging to ChiefFlamingo) from yesterday :fishing_pole_and_fish: :relieved: aaaaand now you can tell that I'm too lazy and picked a character with similarities to one of mine :cry_01:. I want to do more "free coloring" (comic coloring is a pretty rigid process at this point) - it's so relaxing.

As a student mechanical engineering that thing looks nightmarish to model or draw xD really good job!

Thank you!! I followed my high school art teacher's words from drawing skeletons: "no one will count every bone", so there are some mechanical... liberties... here. Though there's a pretty good chance I'll be modeling something like this in blender at some point and... I'm scared! :persevere:

I kinda like that. :grinning:

Awesome work! @migxmeg

Drawing machines and mechanical things brings me nightmares. Luckily my lot haven’t invented guns yet. Just cannons and crossbows (which I’m still dreading). :joy::see_no_evil:

As if drawing a battle isn't hard enough ><. Bet those are going to come out beautiful when you do them, though!

I just dealt with far too many pages of a character wielding a crossbow. I had a hell of a time finding good reference material... and then I remembered one of my roommates HAS a medieval crossbow replica.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you want reference photos, let me know. Because it helped me a LOT.

Fantastic! I might just take you up on that offer (thank you!)

My other half thought I was a bit loopy buying a long sword and a bow, but you’re right - it’s difficult to find ref, especially in more natural poses.

My characters are mostly nattering away (whilst holding weapons), but I can only seem to find battle/epic weapon poses. :thinking:

Things I search for: “Boy trying to lift a heavy sword.” “Woman pouncing with daggers.” “Man with sword hat.” :laughing:

@migxmeg Eeeh, this background looks fantastic! And the wheel lock mechanism looks like a futuristic gun by itself! :smiley:

@Zin_Trollborn love it a lot! The whole idea with rope is very intriguing :slight_smile:

Pumped about rootbeer floats, only had enough rootbeer for two, one yesterday and one today, but that's more than enough to get me feeling happy.



Did have to add a black background to this one, the rootbeer is see-through and the white vanilla ice cream was becoming invisible against the white background of Tapas.
(Also technically it shouldn't look like this, since mixed together it becomes a different brown, but I felt this looked more like what you imagine from a rootbeer float.)
