Blitzen: The Last Reindeer

Legendofgenii 2021-12-07 14:15:39 UTC #8403

Same. I didn't want Gen's wings blocking anyone, and he's not really Gen without the wings. Falling out of the box was fitting too. Lol!

Jumping on this while the idea iron is hot. Think I got something for a short comic. (Like maybe a two or three page deal)

@Legendofgenii so warm and cozy by a fire!

@Kelheor I don't think I've ever seen you work in that color palette. This looks great. Especially for 20 minutes. Motivating me to get on the grind now.

@nathanKmcwilliams love spur of the moment projects. Also loving that snowman

I eagerly await this comic....

nathanKmcwilliams 2021-12-07 15:26:51 UTC #8407

@LCT_m_a_d I hope to stick with this one. With it planned as very short, I think I can make it happen.

@aqua03 I've wanted to do a story about a commando reindeer for almost as long as Dragon Sparking. This is probably the best chance I'll get to strike on it.

I've made a playlist for it...which generally means I'm serious about doing a project.

aqua03 2021-12-07 15:28:12 UTC #8408

Ah, neat. That'll be fun to finally see you do this. I'm excited.

Last for this set:

I'm shocked they didn't come out too far off and dug up an actual book on anatomy we had lying around, so hopefully learning the names of the big stuff as I go .

sartinjacqueline05 2021-12-07 16:42:21 UTC #8410

Its done! My red-nosed reinbat!

nathanKmcwilliams 2021-12-07 17:21:57 UTC #8411

Rough sketch for the first page

Rough sketch for the second page

Roughs for page 3

Roughs for page 4

ANNNND. The last roughs for page 5. Little longer than I wanted, but five pages isn't too long.

LCT_m_a_d 2021-12-07 18:27:41 UTC #8412

What a portfolio of studies!
The latest one is like... "Anatomy, in the palm of my hand"

migxmeg 2021-12-07 19:01:01 UTC #8413

Lol! That'd be nice XD.

Just feels great to finally be putting in the work, hope it helps!

@MerrowBros good luck!! And happy sleeping/drawing when you are done .

@nathanKmcwilliams it's always longer than you expect, but what a great holiday short!

All the chibis are looking fantastic, you all are making me want to join in so bad .

Will paste this into the artboard tomorrow, wish I could keep the background tbh, but I know that won't work in the artboard.

Legendofgenii 2021-12-07 19:30:54 UTC #8415

Looks great @wispysing Love all those costume details.

IndigoShirtProd 2021-12-07 20:06:04 UTC #8416

Yea the colors look great!

Kittyfox 2021-12-07 21:40:07 UTC #8417

Wait you can paste images into the magma artboard??

migxmeg 2021-12-07 21:56:00 UTC #8418

They opened up the paste function last month, probably to encourage more participation .

Edit: I'm assuming it's still open for this month's too based on the conversation here, but haven't verified myself.

KiabIce 2021-12-07 23:42:52 UTC #8419

Just drew this handsome guy that the protag has a crush on.

aqua03 2021-12-07 23:48:52 UTC #8420

Lovekov my beloved.

LCT_m_a_d 2021-12-08 01:20:57 UTC #8421

@wispysing That background does looks awesome! Should work well without it though!

@aqua03 That little pouch is everything! Nice work
