5th Portrait Complete!

Another Artfight attack, probably my last one for the year (unless I get something done quickly today)

This has been one of the biggest pieces I have ever made, it took me anywhere between 22 and 32 hours over the course of the last two and a half weeks. There were a lot of things happening in between working on this which is why I’m not entirely sure about the time. The full timelapse video is 16 minutes long. I’m really glad I pivoted from trying to make this into a comic, I don’t know that I would’ve finished it if I had. This is one of the only pieces with full shading I did this artfight, I didn’t draw in a light source but I really tried to work off of one. Even though I had a reference photo for the sketch, a lot of these poses were new to me and some were difficult to figure out (a couple of legs are missing, and one of the mugs are weird)

Overall I wanted to draw a bunch of pirates (loosely inspired by a scene in Bloody Cape) and that’s what I did and I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out

This is my second artfight! Pretty excited to be participating again (although I’ll be traveling quite a bit during July)

I don’t know how everyone gets the featured character images to be high quality on these

I'm watching all of Star Trek: The Next Generation and wanted to sketch

Anyways, I don't think I got the shape of his face quite right so I tried a coloring method I've never really done before

First portrait is finished!

Was just jumpscared by the collage piece I'm in the process of making- got home from work, saw it and went, what is that?

But in a good way

Third portrait complete!

finally made the first of ref sheets I meant to do before art fight started

Second portrait is finished! Will be going to sleep now and continuing this project tomorrow

Not me watching the Drawfee Backgrounds episode today and immediately wanting to try it

7th portrait done! Except this time it looks a little more like a ref sheet cuz I found a cool pose to reference (bottom left) and also wanted to show off what the top of his wings would look like (top left), though I did get a little lazy by the time I started adding colors, hence the lack of shading

He’s based on the Anhinga water bird (don’t mind the feet, I was following a guide for drawing bird feet and only remembered much later that the feet should be webbed)
