Wanting to start storyboarding, but with Elden Ring DLC just on the horizon, I know I'll just get too distracted to continue working on it.

Instead the next best thing, making a final concept piece/style test (based on a Ch03 scene) to bridge the gap between now and the release of the DLC to scratch that itch

Sometimes you make a doodle using your goofy brain cell instead of your art brain cell.

Hello forums! I just finished this:

"MEDUSA_Z"

A strange glitch occurred in reality, and suddenly, she was there: an unknown specimen, an unstable variant. Hunters far and wide strove to catch her, but none ever succeeded, because she lived in a world of her own; a world where she was untraceable. Long live MEDUSA_Z.

I used black Copic markers in this drawing!

@simonitropunk

I apologize in advance if I offend you with this unwanted draw over. But the hand reaching for the girl is very wonky. I think you could benefit greatly from breaking down the hand into basic shapes.

Use a rounded rectangle for the base of the hand, and draw the fingers from that base.
Also keep in mind that the middle finger is the longest of the 4, followed by the ring finger, then the index finger and finally the pinky.

Another tip I want to give you is that fingers rarely move in wildly opposite directions. I've linked a video that talks about hands in further detail. Something I think might be interesting to you is the "when in doubtie, one finger outie" principle.

[simonitropunk]

Oh thanks a lot for the advice and no, I'm not offended. It's pretty helpful. Will get that fixed.

Admittedly, I do want to improve on my hand drawings. It has gotten better over the years but it's the one of the most things I struggle with. So, thanks a lot.

[KevinReijnders]

Haha yeah hands are notorious for being one of the more difficult things to draw.
Glad I could be of some help

Ian has no survival skills, but access to a library. He’s probably read about the theory of peeling potatoes. But why learn how when the castle cooks will do it for you?

[beebutterbee]

Ah so he’s a knowledge bookworm with no practical skills? Wow I actually think I can relate my bro always says I’m like an encyclopedia but I have no common sense at the same time

[EncryptedWriting]

Half way done with this thing. It's such a difficult reminder to 1. work on a bigger canvas and 2. that lines don't need to be perfect. And even then, I am not totally happy with it cause of the amount of small details I went into.

[simonitropunk]

Your suggestion sure made the hand looked better. Thanks a lot and even looking back on how it looked, his had did look having broken fingers and that worked. It sure is tricky to draw foreshortened fingers.

Hello, I´m back

[DanielRKM]

Wooooot! Dang, what an entrance!

[DanielRKM]

Oh shoot, Tapas finally found me out! But like, in a good way (and these gals are now part of their Pride Collection this year (along with their jerky nephew too))! I say “finally” like a derp. It’s an honor and I honestly didn’t see it coming.

Here are the base inks and colors before I spend a TON of time in Photoshop adding the fancy effects.
