Neko's Failtastic Art Thread

[Neo Emolga]

Welcome back! And wow, you've been busy!

I like how you've been experimenting with different forms and methods of art as well. And it's cool to see how you're willing to draw just about anything and everything. Great work as always! :3

Woohoo Neko arts! Aw that Vulpix is gorgeous! It looks so warm and fluffy!

That fish looks great! It's really cool to see your more realistic work as well! You're so talented! Also, impressive Transformers!

That rattata is so cute! I love the vulpix and all the sketches too.

Yeee! Thank you! I need to work on more realistic stuff. It's tough, but it's good practice!

I have been! Trying to be, at least!

I do love mixing things up a bit since I find myself defaulting to my PRS style more often than I should. And it's certainly a nice break to draw things other than PRS related stuff. xD

Not much new on the art side, PRS excluded. Finals hit hard this year and I've spent some time working out some life things. I got into grad school. So there's that. Signing my soul away for 3 more years. -throws confetti and dies- xD

I'll post some classwork from last semester if I remember.

These are the May Sketch Requests (They were actually made Wed. but they're to make up for my lack of doing so in May!) Had a blast in this stream!

Animation for class: We had to do a rough animation to capture the general motion of two animals interacting based off a reference clip.



And then had to do it in 3D with a focus on a procedural/technical aspect. Mine was a collision between the Cheetah and the 2nd Cheetah (I didn't have time to model/rig a dog) causing the Cheetah's spots to fly off. unfortunately, the spots didn't render properly on the Cheetah before the collision. So it looks like blood splatter. xD I went with a cell-shaded look for both time and aesthetic purposes. We had to have a visual target- and I always loved the dramatic African sunset paintings. Hence my choice in colors and whatnot.

Digital Environments: Kingdom Hearts - Daybreak Town

We had to recreate Daybreak Town in 3D for an assignment. Not going to post much of the 3D stuff since I'm too lazy to hunt that down- also my main focus of the project was to create the matte painting for the environment map. I didn't paint the buildings in the front- those are from the reference photo to see how it'll look in the scene. Sky/castle were painted.

Digital Environments: How to Train Your Dragon - The Great Hall

Same task, except different scene. I was in charge of some modeling (tables), texturing (tapestry, wood carvings) and all of the lighting!



----

Other Doodles: Some of the nicer sketches I've done lately. I post a sketch a day (on most days, anyway) on Patreon.

That Explorers of Hearts picture looks amazing! You did especially well with Erica! And my baby Seishieon looks so good!

I really like your digital environments too. Having never played Kingdom Hearts that much I can't say how good it looks in comparison to the games but overall it looks amazing. I'm stunned at how accurate the Great Hall is though from How to Train Your Dragon. The attention to detail is fascinating! I can even see the lines in the wood!

And of course as always your dragons and snakes look fabulous.

[Neo Emolga]

Frickkkkkkk, these are awesome! Wow, I don't even know what to say I like most but I gotta say the one that really zings me is that Great Hall from How to Train Your Dragon. And that Umbreon is hands-down gorgeous.

One of these days I need to try drawing along with your process videos in a Bob Ross kind of way.

Eee! Thank you! Those DE projects were killers on the group's sanity, but we pulled through!

New art:

Icon Commission for Robin. xD

And some WIP for the big thank-you image for the PRS 4th anniversary. Still have many more sketches to do for this

Edit: Tonal study for another commission:

[Neo Emolga]

Ha, ha, gotta love that cone of shame sketch! Thanks for chuckle. :3

And that panther one at the end is badass and awesome! Epic job on more savory art goodness!

[Noblejanobii]

Ahaha Mujaffa got coned!

Bwahahaha. xD He did

The Cone of Shame is a joke in the discord server I run. xD Mujaffa got himself kicked for breaking a few rules so I gave him a 'Cone of Shame' role as a joke afterward. Then I just used it to tease him for a while. xD

And another WIP of the panther below! She's actually a character from one of my stories- one that won't be going public for a while. I love her so much, even if she's one of the main antagonists. Every single one of those stones hanging from the trees represents a death she is responsible for. =) And you can only see part of the tree in this.

Still need to texture the tree and the stones
