"Meet the Dell" - Original Character Showcase Vol. 1
Born in Bee Cave, Texas in 1940, even as a child young Dell showed signs of unimaginable genius in the fields of engineering, mathematics and physics. A benevolent and good-natured American, but at the same time vengeful and always purposeful on the path of killing his enemy by any means (even if not by his own hands, but by the forces of his ingenious buildings & devices) the specialist immediately came to the attention of the director of Mann.Co in the first place. By that time, Dell was no longer surprised by his work responsibilities and difficulties, having 11 PhD's from a variety of scientific fields & long engineering practice in West Texas mines. If you still think that it is bloody impossible to expect anything serious from this low middle-age man in a silly green cap, who is telling corny dad jokes to cheer up his mates... If you think that you have right to insult an' blaming him for fun: as Dell said by himself once, when pulled up his fully-loaded shotgun in fullfiling rage - "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘰𝘺!". "𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘢 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨."
how you get that paper-y texture/filter on your artworks???
It is prolly the effect of smoothly-applied grain on pictures and, with that, the tool that helps me to get that look is Glow Action by Studio 2am for Photoshop (i hate adobe, dont get me wrong!!)
I'm usually putting Lighten or Soft Light overlay mode for this "glow" layer to lay smooth and get that "Polaroid photo" effect, but always depends on context of the poster I'm editing! Plus, before the Glow action im fixing colors (especially midtones) with Camera Raw filter.
If needed - I'm adding another layer full of noise and setting it on Soft Light overlay mode, for 2%-8% opacity. However, it's not what I'm doin' often since it's gains image's size and I'm always going for <=5 MB (bc of Steam's restriction), but anyway.
"Limerence" was the first artwork where I've used this thingie, which was quite recently, but that got me to the point how my arts look like rn.
redrawing of the engineer art by @currrsy
Im really fucking bad at drawing ik (especially at drawing characters), but I've just enjoyed to make this one, just for myself.
Maybe I should come back to drawing. The actual drawing, I mean. Post with og picture: https://www.tumblr.com/currrsy/651872013317718016?source=share
