I’m back! I ended up taking a couple of weeks off from mash-ups as I couldn’t get past the last hurdle of finishing a piece. It’s done now so here we are!
Todrick is back in all his steampunkish glory! This would have been so much easier if I hadn’t added the contraption.
Here’s the comparison to the original. The proportions are truer now as I cheated a lot in the original for the sake of the design.
That’s all for this time! Have a good weekend everybody!
Good time part reader! Thank you for dropping by my little slice of the web for an excursion into the mashing up of genres. Let us get to it.
The steampunk
Here’s a comparison to the original. This turned out a lot better than last week’s. I’m sad that apparently I can’t find the brush I used to color the first one because I’m not achieving the same effects anymore, but I still like how this one matches up against the original.
That’s all for this week. If anybody is looking for something to watch, I heartily recommend Sora yori mo Tooi Basho – A Place Further Than the Universe. It’s a a 13 episode anime from 2018 that I adored. There aren’t enough unique character designs for a full theme, but I will have to try to do something for it.
Hey all! I decided to take a break last week but I’m back now and ready to flashback!
It’s a little daunting going back to this theme since I consider that it was one of my stronger efforts from when I started getting a little more serious about these. Will the me that I am be as proud of these as the me I was then was of those? I guess I’ll find out.
We start with Cyran. It’s a solid outing but honestly it’s not quite what I was shooting for.
And of course the obligatory comparison between then and now. My lines are cleaner now, but I like the mood and posing of the original better.
That’s all for this week. Have a great weekend!
Here we go again! Let’s have fun!
The Year of Mina is concluding this week. This is the last catch-up theme for Mina to join in on. It’s always fun to revisit some old friends. I hope this turned out to be one of the high points!
That’s all for this week. Next week is a flashback so I’ll see you all on Friday!
Wednesday confirmed! It’s Mash-up time!
We’re getting close to the end of the steampunk theme. This week is the last of the main cast. Let’s get to it, okay?
In a number of the steampunk cosplay pictures I looked through, there were people with steampunk prosthetic arms. I knew I wanted to try that on someone and that that someone would most likely be Red Rich. I don’t know what made him the preferred candidate, but he was. When it comes to the more generic mashup themes, I like to feature Red Rich in his three colours. It’s not super difficult (although predictably it does take much longer). I use two layers (colour and shading) for the things that won’t change from one costume to the next and then two layers for each colour. I hide and show the appropriate layers and save the picture three times. Usually, Blue Rich turns out to be my favorite version, but this time, I like Red Rich the best. What about you? Which one is your favorite? You can click on each individually to take a closer look at them.
There you have him folks! So with the main cast out of the way, who will be featured in the last steampunk mashup installment? You’ll have to come back next Wednesday to find out!
