Mar-chino - Marche

Day 12 - New Lizards

May be a few days late but oh well ... Better late than never.

An old piece I did around mid 2021. Little sucker is Eurasian Jackdaw inspired, except I completely ignored it's natural colors and just focused on transferring lighting into it's feathers. Turned out more detailed than expected, so I was a bit proud of it at the time.

Days 8-9 Saint in Filtration system Day 10 - Worm grass. Or at least how I imagine it Day 11 - Lantern Day 12 - Glow weed

The rush to finish them within a day was both a blessing and a cure. Forces me to think about when drawing them and avoid spending too much time. But also means I can't get too attached to one of them. Also I'm still figuring out my style so it shifted per piece.

Again more old art I wanted to post anyway as I really liked at the time, even if I feel like at this point doesn't really represent my level. Those specifically come from a concept for a space shooter game I had and did when applying for my study. I didn't really take it anywhere after that, so that's that. Sadly I have no progress sketches for them. Honestly I'm not even sure I did progress sketches back then.

First one is of the main menu's background.

Second one is the main level's background. I went a bit overboard with it at the time, as I decided to draw each star by hand rather than use a spray tool. And as a result it took vastly more time than painting the background itself. Whole thing took a bit more than a week of me working on it regularly. For a while it also used to be one of my proudest 2d works due to the amount of effort I sunk into it.

And a few years back I made an alternative version of it for a profile background.

All in all, first 2 drawings are from late 2018, last one is from around covid time. I don't remember when tho.

Day 3-4 - Chimney canopy and Fire spear(s) - welp this was a bit late. I burned out a bit before that but didn't want to give up on it. Looking at it now I feel like it's a bit lacking in detail but compared to the last piece I didn't want to make it as visually cluttered. I am happy with the color scheme though.

On a side note I almost messed up the region and started drawing sky islands. Which basically became the main inspiration for the shot.

Day 4 - Dropwig

About me

Hiii, I go by Marche and I draw from time to time. The main purpose of this blog is to store my own 2d art. Not really into any specific fandom (however Rain World refuses to leave my head for over a year now). I suffer from inconsistent art-style syndrome, so my stuff ranges. Not very present, so follow at your own risk.

Tags? I use the following for sorting ( funny how often I come back to check them for myself)

#uni project - for work related to university #personal art - for original artwork #fan art - for fan art #art tips - for posts that I find helpful, practical and art tutorials #practice/ #sketch/ #art study - for art based on pre-existing images/media often meant as a study.

Bunch of slugcat sketches

Some old art of mine. Nothing special just wanted to put it so it's out there.

Another older piece I finished around Nov 2021. Hasn't really aged well, which I find almost frustrating because I remember spending a lot of time on it. Still gonna keep it as a frame for myself. It describes a sorcerer and their familiar trekking trough snowy woods on their way to a village. I have an entire story behind it but I'd rather keep it separate from the art.
