This sketch established both the shemagh style, and the combat knife addition. Shoulder blades are positioned facing down for an easier draw, not hilt-up :>

Today's post features commissioned fan art for the book series Galaxy's Edge :)

Happy christmas + new years!

I had grand plans of making a video to show my process of thumbnails -> final but stalled ...aaand didn't post for ages xD I've learned when something is a hurdle, doing the bare minimum consistently is more effective.
Commissioned fanart for the book series Galaxy's Edge. It features a scarred, battle-worn man called Ulysses Kerensky who is wearing dark grey painted armour, a shemagh, and combat knife. The helms of the legionnaires (lovingly nicknamed "buckets") are central to their abilities on the battlefield :)

Today is my favourite holiday of the year. Happy Halloween everyone :D

The artstyle below was inspired by the work of Oleg Vdovenko. I had no idea painted art could be so visceral/creepy and I find that quite impressive!

Hello! I've got a lot I want to post, but for today I'd like to share a piece I finished yesterday :)

It was a quite a challenge due to the stylised proportions but seeing how happy the client was made it all worth it xD

#commissionsopen #artistsofbluesky #krita #doomfist #overwatch #draneria
A painting of the Overwatch character Doomfist smirking suggestively, slightly drunk and leaning in a doorway in a dark nightclub environment, with ominous soft red lightning. He's wearing his white suit with striped grey trousers, sunglasses, silver earrings, and a rose on his lapel. He has a silver buckle with the initials "DF" and his arms have been cybernetically enhanced in an asymmetrical way. His left hand has an ornate nuckle enhancement, and his right arm has been completely replaced with a robotic one, his outfit is adorned with gold and silver details. Part 1 of the commission process. This image shows a series of composition explorations as simple rough lineart/colour, painted digitally. Part 2 of the commission process. Semi-finished thumbnails to explore mood and lighting options (the client picked #3). General lighting and camera placement explored with 3D, then painted over in Krita.

Happy #PortfolioDay!

Draneria here, I do art commissions :)

My workflow is brief > thumbnails > (repeat as needed!) > final piece, so the client always knows what they are getting.

I also enjoy making free Krita brushes for other artists :D

Last month I made this draft for a physical painting. Not sure when I'll be able to create it, so here's the design for now!

The round mineral is hematite. Fun fact; it's shape is often botryoidal but I chose to depict it as globular in this :)

#commissionsopen #artistsofbluesky #krita #draneria
A fantasy digital illustration featuring an misty, icy river in the valley of a boreal forest. There are massive spherical formations of hematite (a type of mineral related to iron) jutting out of the forest. At the river bank, smaller globes of black hematite sits between chunks of white ice from the river. There are 3 albino fowl birds in the distance and the sky is an iron blue-grey. The illustration has muted tones, inspired by the brown/reddish powder hematite creates.

...sometimes things just don't go right xD

Today I've got some recent portraits that didn't work out on my quest to paint a profile pic I like!

I think this is because I didn't plan well beforehand, so next time I'm going to try using thumbnails :>

#commissionsopen #artistsofbluesky #WIP
Greyscale/Sepia portrait (half-finished) of a woman with dark eyes and pale skin. Portrait (unfinished) of a character vaguely inspired by Minthara (Baldurs Gate 3). She has blonde hair, mauve skin and red eyes and is looking into the distance with a hateful smirk. Portraiture (half-finished) of a young man in a pink suit, making a heart shape with his fingers as he smiles towards the camera. The character/pose was inspired by K-pop photoshoots.

I'm only on episode 2 of Arcane, it is awesome! Please no spoilers, I don't actually know how the plot will go :D

Painted in Krita, 3hrs 30m. It's an artstyle study, original reference: imgur.com/a/arcane-4k-...

Finished up an old idea (10 - 15 hours about 2 years ago, then 3 hours today), painted in Krita

By the way, anyone who knows GW1's Kaineng City gets a 🍪 :D It was one of my favourite areas, and the feeling of the piece was inspired by that. #commissionsopen #artistsofbluesky #krita #draneria
A woman in an underground street leaning against a wooden wall in ochre lighting. She's wearing a white two-piece with ruffles and slightly frayed edges, posing suggestively. Digital illustration (Krita).

Little Illustration I'm working on as part of an art swap.

Here it is in full:
A timelapse of a digital painting, which uses a 3D model as the base. It depicts a fantasy women, asian, brown hair and red eyes and two metal pins in a low hanging bun. Painterly, semi-abstract colours and dendritic pattern background :D

Thank you to JV.N for his wonderful blender head base brushes!!

Do you ever work waaaaaaaaaay too hard on something for absolutely no reason?

This lotus study was painted for a single page of a PDF assignment during uni. I found it again recently and thought it'd be nice to share :)

A slightly abstract digital illustration of a lotus flower at 3 stages of life.

🎭 Same character, completely different moods.

I painted this character for a uni project, and later used him as a base for a cinematic villain design.

If nothing else, it's good upgrade from the sad grandpa-energy he had before!

#commissionsopen #illustration #krita #draneria
Portraiture (digital): A man with a strong jaw, menacing red eyes (and even edgier eyeliner) looking toward the camera, on an ominous green background. He has scars across his face, and intricate red warpaint. His face is framed by long black hair, and he is wearing a dark priest robe. Portraiture (digital): A man with a strong jaw, and soft tired eyes (and fantastic lip gloss) looking toward the camera. The abstract background depicts refracted crystal walls in a sci-fi utopian city. He has scars across his face, and is wearing angelic futuristic armour stolen from the city he infiltrated.

Ta-da!

and here is the final piece 🎨 After correcting a few details with the client - it was packaged up, sent off (delivery took 9 days) and happily received. I have to say I enjoyed painting it thoroughly, and being able to work with such amazing people!
A hand-painted watercolour and ink illustration depicting family of 5 pets underneath an oak tree. The central character is Freya, the white dog who is proudly proclaiming herself to be a frog. One of her friends thoroughly believes her, another is egging her on mischievously. Juniper the ginger cat looks at Freya with motherly concern, while Lincoln listens half-asleep in the tree.

I would say this process took about 2 weeks, and the commission in all took just over a month. It was bit nerve-wracking because there is no-undo button! But that's also what made it so satisfying to paint (╯✧▽✧)╯
Half-finished watercolour with the a cosy interior and wooden window frame, leading into the garden where a family of 5 pets are relaxing together. Some areas, like the tree, are still un-painted.

Once everything was prepared, I started penciling in the composition and the underwash! This was done on an A3 canvas. Unlike with digital, you have to really plan things in advance and paint in the lights first.

It's been a while since I used watercolours, so the first thing I did was some colour tests and illustration practice - especially for the sky gradient! I gave the client updates like this as I went so they'd know how things were progressing.
A photograph of a practice sheet for a childresn book-style illustration, featuring a family of 5 pets relaxing together in a garden at sunrise. The practice areas include a gradient for the sky, light oak leaves against dark bark, and how to manage pigment overlap.

This was (2/3), and the final chapter will go through the physical edition that was commissioned after ✨ I hope you've enjoyed, have a good day!
A diagram which highlights types of mushrooms in the previous art, and their names.

...and here is the final piece!
Mushrooms were a theme, so I made sure to base the shrubbery details on real funghi, as seen in the diagram in the post below.

I also snuck a tiny frog into the illustration as a little easter-egg based on the poem's title. (I have no idea if they ever spotted it)
