Eggtober 6th 2023

"Splat" or "Fun with Colors": Raw Egg.

(Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Pencil brush for details and highlights. 12 colors, I think? 1 Hour.) I actually really liked the rough version I made, so you're gonna get that one at the end as well, for anyone who also likes the rough one better than the smooth one.

But first... I finally discovered a feature of CSP, so now I am unstoppable and I will NEVER AGAIN have to ask myself "How the fuck did I do that?"

Because now I have EVIDENCE. Now curious friends, followers, and my forgetful ass, can watch the full process of how I made a thing. Including what references I used so it's clear how much is iterative and how much I am drawing directly from the visual reference. Today I had to do a lot from imagination because I couldn't find an exaggerated splashy egg, but sometimes I really am just making a study and trying to do a one-to-one recreation of a reference. So now y'all get to know all my filthy little secrets. I was intending to grab footage starting with Eggtober 1, 2023 but OBS needs a version of an NVIDIA driver that will absolutely wreck my computer with BSODs because I own a junker apparently. But it turns out CSP (or at least V2, IDK if it was in V1) has a way to capture a speedpaint natively when you create the file.

Now I am unstoppable, powerful. No more taking a break from art when life gets busy and coming back to pieces I drew 10 years ago and wondering "How the hell did I manage that?" I can just check. It's over for all of you. Once I practice anatomy again and start being able to draw shapes and volumes perfectly from imagination, I will become all-powerful. I will ascend. Hell, maybe someone might even pay me if I learn to draw anything that isn't an egg or a meme. XD Radical self-confidence, baby. I can art now, and I have evidence. My horizons are infinite!

And now, hopefully, any baby artists that are just starting out can get an idea of how I do it from this and future pieces so I can pull you all up with me in a bid of apotheosis. For the EGGsthetic! (Aesthetic.)

I wonder which version of this egg @lady-quen's breadbugs will snap up?

And I wonder which one @quezify will like best? My money's on the sketchy one.

I can't tell which I like better honestly. The smooth one us much more "My aesthetic" because it matches how I render eggs but... The rough pencil-y gouache lines you get with light pressure really remind me of how the classic modern quezify eggs look, and I of course only started doing eggs because of the first Eggtober so, like. On the one hand, smooth and painterly look that goes with all but one of my previous eggs (Eggtober 1, 2023 was a study from memory of quezify's style, after all). But on the other hand... dramatic color changes! Textrure, shine! Colors that aren't in the actual references! EXPRESSIVENESS. Two different moods on the same egg art and I really dig both of them honestly.

Eggtober 5th 2023

"Endless Eggs": Sheet Pan Fried Eggs

(Clip Studio Paint: Gouache Brush, Pencil brush for highlights, and Airbrush tool for the pepper. 6 colors, 45 minutes.) Coming in right under the wire for this one! I learned a new skill about how to tile a piece. It should tile perfectly, but if anyone finds seams, let me know. Sheet pan eggs are a great way to cook a lot of eggs and a great way to paint a piece when you're low on time. @lady-quen's Breadbug army may have a rough time getting this one back to the burrow, but they're welcome to snack on as much as they can! And as always, big thanks to @quezify for organizing and inspiring this event. Eggs are just fun as hell to draw.

Eggtober 26 2023

"Lantern of Desire" or "The New Treachery of Images" : Image of a Fried Egg Carved into Pumpkin.

(Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, 6 colors, about 30 minutes?)

This is not an egg. This is not even a pumpkin. This is a digital rendering of the image of an egg carved into the image of a pumpkin. Scramble that around in your brain for a bit. In all seriousness it is National Pumpkin Day, so I decided to waylay the original egg I planned for today to make this. Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite Halloween activities. I haven't been able to do it as often as I want because buying an impermanent medium for art is not a luxury my parents want to shell out for and since I stick around to take care of my aging mother, I don't much care for my dad rambling about wasted money if I were to buy one for myself. So... Digital version. The last time I carved a physical pumpkin was in 2020, and only because the Honda people were doing a random act of kindness where they were purchasing pumpkins for passersby. Unus Annus was running at that time, so I carved a skull. I also attempted to do the spiral and an hour glass in an apple. That was less successful.

Completely freehand, by the way.

But since I can't do that this year, and since it's National Pumpkin Day, and Eggtober, you get fried egg on pumpkin.

Okay, you also get the soft boiled egg I made for lunch.

(Free to use as reference, by the way.)

But yeah. We're nearly done with Eggtober! Halloween is soon! I may not get a pumpkin to carve this year, but I can still get pretty close. This is faster than hollowing out a full gourd anyway.

@lady-quen might have a hard time seeing the bread bugs when they come to steal this egg. It's so dark in this scene!

Slapping all the egg in @quezify's notifications. Enjoy!

Speedpaint time!

The pumpkin I used as reference is impressively detailed, no? I always love these relief-style pumpkins. What can be done with the full cut out style is impressive, but what can be accomplished with the relief style is just astonishing, no?
