human simon send post

moving toward my next art milestone... full lined background 🤓last time i tried this was for an unfinished piece in like 2020

getting down some ideas for a piece on one of my favorite scenes... up there with when his innocence finally reformed

i recently caught up with the last 6 or so chapters. very inspired to explore allen's relationship with his innocence, with the reveals in mind

working on getting used to the new designs. the strategy for emily right now is to draw her without her nose first LOL

was rewatching Dexter recently 🤓

Emily resurrects Simon after his untimely passing. Raising the dead isn't anything new for her, but this time, she needs to bring him back right. Not just reanimate his body to walk the earth again, functioning only as a drone to its creator's command. She's accomplished something others have tried and failed to: truly bring someone back from death, with their spirit intact. The entry points are the brain and the heart - one for Simon, and one for his body. Emily takes great care in the condition of his face, perfect, like a porcelain doll, unlike the rest of his shattered body. She has created him again, damn the consequences.

the whole thing has me rethinking how i do rendering in general, with my light and shadow layer system. it was something i started doing that really elevated my art when i didn't know how else to do it. think im growing out of that shortcut - like with their original designs, i was avoiding the parts i need to practice on. much to consider 🤔📝

anyways, today's lesson on "using references isn't cheating" - i always struggle with backs and posing some models on top of the piece helped me find out exactly what i was missing... funny how that works 🤔😅

hitting up one of my favorite pieces to apply the new designs to 😈 this time around, i think the scene will have much more clarity. also plan to add Emily's lab as the background

testing out colors for the new designs 🥰much to learn when it comes to human skin tones - no more hiding behind my funny colors!

(featured are Simon and Emily)

i was inspired by an old sketch page of emily's cursed soul. second version is with her soul-clenching headlights that i removed for the main version to preserve face detail. i really like how the colors turned out with no lineart 🤫

9 years of art progress <3 from ages 14 to 22 ❤️❤️

i had this idea brewing from a while back and decided it was perfect for this prompt

made me think of this old design for "interstellar" emily, a version i was thinking up to appear in simon's dream. revamped the design a little here

drew a couple oc's in a way i dont normally do - simon exasperated and emily's side profile! and ive also done something unusual... digitally coloring a paper sketch
