This is my final for color design last semester. We had the option of using a specific artist's use of color, and I chose @gigidigi , especially her work with Cucumber Quest. She my favorite comic creator, so I thought, 'what would be better than a comic?' I used two of her techniques: simultaneous contrast based on emotion, and character motifs. I wanted to further challenge myself by having a rainbow gradient and no dialogue. As a result, the story and art are very simple.
(Go here for a less compressed version)
So, I came up with about eight Lantana fashion subcultures, and I'm starting with the weirdest one. Many of these, like this one, are reactions to typical Lantana culture.
This is called Pure Lantana. In this, people take parts of themselves usually seen as ugly and make them match with the rest of their style. For example, instead of hiding stretch marks, people paint over them with face paint. Instead of shaving their legs, women dye their leg hair to match the hair on their head.
Sketch of one of my characters. Drawn with pencil and edited in SAI. More sketches coming soon.
2/12. This is part of the same project as the last painting, and the rest should (hopefully) have more interesting poses and better anatomy. Fact: Rain is the only male main character, and he is the only main character whose shirt symbol isn't directly related to his powers.
Yay, something lineless! Also I'm using the acrylic brush in SAI again.
Background texture (I don't remember the other one): http://fav.me/d1vvh3x
Almost done with the sketchdump!
Shift and Luna with alt clothes and hair??
Lantana fashion subcultures 2/8: Futuristic Lantana. Drown out the sound of the city.

7/12. This is my favorite one so far. Unlike Misty, Stardust's colors work well with multiple light sources. She is mostly in proportion, and her clothing folds are the best so far. Yay, progress.
Hey guys, sorry for my three weeks of inactivity. I just started college today, and I knew that I had to work on making a buffer because I’m much slower with my tablet issues. I’ll be posting some art this weekend!
