(tw bright colors maybe)
damn been a while huh... uni eats all of my time but I love my major ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so naturally been working on personal projects when I should be sleeping
*slams down stack*
haha several of these totally haven't been sitting on my computer for months nope nope pardon the horrible line quality lol
Actually let's make a separate post for this one. Look at this piece of official rain world art.
It's sick af it might be my favorite rw piece. So I'm gonna ramble about technical art stuff that it does that I think is neat.
First let's look at the layout. It's got a very distinct foreground middle ground background layering that you can break down like this
With these layers you can put a lot of Stuff in the background without any of the important parts getting lost. If you look at any small section of the piece you'll see Ten Billion wires, plants, metal sticking out, shadows, anything and everything. But since it's all grouped together on the same layer, it sorta fades into the background as Background and you don't lose the main shapes.
The scant use of purple/pink is also very neat. The purple is eye catching. The artist wants you to look at the purple stuff. But some of it isn't important at all, like the curling plants - they aren't supposed to be looked at directly, exactly, but they still lead the eyes around where they're wanted.
Your eye goes from the pink lizard at the top to the dragonslayer symbol to the slugcat, where it lingers for a moment, framed by the purple plants, then you eventually follow the plants and the pole up, the chain left, back to the lizard. The path your eye is supposed to follow is highlighted for you.
Okay last thing I want to talk about. The thing the tags at the beginning of the post actually mention. The secondary light source.
It's pink yeah like I was saying about eye movement. But also. It defines the slugcat. Look at this edited version without the pink light.
The tail gets lost. The foot gets lost. The slugcat becomes part of the scenery instead of the focus. The intended focus is so much more boring to look at then the little lizard.
So yeah I'm obsessed with rain world art I'm obsessed with this piece in particular. Study it and break it down ok <3
hmm if I keep at the art month, not gonna be doing the prompts on time—but it's a lot less stressful to just treat it as a prompt list instead of a daily thing tho
random but I've been listening to Adam Duff since the start of covid, and he's really such a genuine, wholesome guy with good advice and an uplifting outlook on life. he's a big reason I even draw at all, and I bet I'm not alone in that lol
couldn't recommend his channel enough
anyway I'm glad that other awesome people (like you) are out there and have been positively affected by him, too
even though I don't know you, happy for you that you're reconnecting with friends! best feeling
(*cough* your art is so chewable I'll say it again *cough cough*)
anyway lots of rambling aha, take care~
YESS!! Im so glad im not the only one who watches this dude! His videos really did help me through the toughest of times, and im glad they helped you as well!
Also, don’t worry about rambling. I’m a listener. I’ll listen to anyone’s headcanons or stories for hours trust me XD
And! So glad you like my artwork! I like your works too :3
Fanart for @tsunochizu's fics Backwards Through The Snow and Unfeelings feelings! Both are very good highly recommend reading them. Tsunochizu is pretty much the main reason im currently hyperfixated on Rainworld.
Obviously there are some slight spoilers from both so.... if you don't want spoilers don't look haha. It more implied than anything really idk I'm just rambling at this point.
Its funny because the second drawing I actually started about two weeks ago and lost motivation when I couldn't get it to look right. Then chapter 30 was posted and the drawing was absolutly perfect for this line. Then for like 3 days straight I worked on it until you get this.
Get btts to number one in kudos WOOO (its about I think like 14 kudos off if I remember correctly?)
welcome to the dumping ground of my art addiction! currently frothing over rain world, but hollow knight might rear its head every once in a while
DON'T repost my art on any other platform. My only exception to this is if you want to use my art as a profile pic--that's fine, just credit me in your bio or whatever
DMs: welcome! I may be slow to respond tho, haha what are people
asks: also welcome! ask me whatever! just no weird stuff please, you know what I mean
