Art of Rimmo Kenro

Kind of lost the direction while working at this at some point, but I think I was able to pull it together in the end so I at least don't hate how it came out. Painting process + closeup \/

I'm glad I was able to make a 413 tribute this year. Art block and little time were my main obstacles, but skipping this day is something I simply can not allow. Of course there's always this desire to make something grandiose and exciting, sadly I have no such opportunity (but there's always next time).

As for the idea, I was going to draw something much moodier and maybe more personal (as I often do) at first, but it didn't feel quite right. So in the end I went with a more stylized approach and a more "familiar" scenario. It was nice to try out something different, and I'm rather happy with the result (also the process was fun. Using Rebelle instead of the usual CSP helped with that a lot.)

Anyway, happy 413, everyone! (if this day can even be happy)

P.S. the title is rather ironic, but that's the point.

Here's a little scenario I've had in my head for a while. Tried out painting in Rebelle, since the usual approach led to a very stiff and boring result. Basically Gamz spent all night barfing his insides out 'cause of food poisoning, and now Kar is mad at him 'cause he keeps jugging soda instead of water :')

Three characters from the same setting I designed for practice. I'm not a designer, and I'm not entirely happy with the process/results, but I think trying something different is good anyway. Closeups and process videos \/
