#red zero

OC Doodle dump #4, didn't realize I hit 30 images again so heres some doodles concepts lore and shitposts

- Bakugo bought Kirishima roses but was so nervous to give them to him that he sweated and exploded them. He dropped the burnt peddles and bolted. Kirishima opens the door to his room to find rose peddles, charred on one side. He is so happy he puts them on his dresser. Kiri being the dumbass he is, doesn’t know they’re from Bakugo.

- A week later they’re studying, this time in Kiri’s room. Bakugo is bored waiting for Kiri to finish a math problem. Bakugo is hanging upside down on the side of the bed when he sees them. He nearly falls of the bed. Kirishima has put the flowers in a little ceramic bowl next to his mirror on his dresser.

- Without thinking he asks, “Why the fuck’d you keep burnt flowers?”

- Kiri looks up at Bakugo and scratches the back of his head with his little Kiri smile, “Oh I thought it was sweet. Someone put ‘em outside my door on Valentines Day.”

- He starts getting caught up and looks over at the flowers instead of Bakugo “I think they burned ‘em to make ‘em smell more? But they sorta just smell like a campfire? But like roses too? Like a campfire made of roses? It’s cool though, it smells manly.” He says with a shrug turning back to the math

- Bakugo is just really ?? Why do I like this idiot. He sorta stunned stares at Kiri for a couple of seconds. Before he breaks into a smile, “tch, idiot”

- “what?” Kiri asks looking up.

- “Do your math, dumbass” Bakugo says trying to hide his smirk.

today on old ass doodles i never posted: everything i draw is so androginous so i decided to try to see if i could draw genderswaps of some of my OCs

I just noticed I never showed off this one art I did while making the most recent chapter of my webcomic. I'm tryna do these lighting tests to get better at doing lighting and stuff for my comic, IDK if it helps or not but it probably is useful at getting more cohesive color schemes. I'm trying to not pick colors super arbitrary anymore and stuff like i did in early chapters. I think its kinda sorta paying off.

I'm using cliping masks and blend modes recently to make quick and eazy lighting. useally its a few on the characters to add light and shadow basically I

>clip the layer with the blend mode to the layer that contains the characters

>use airbrush to add the color (gives a nice subtle gradient)

>use layer mask to erase the parts I don't want (almost always on the shadow layer) you can also just erase it on the layer if you don't know about layer masks or if its not in whatever software you use but with layer mask if you fuck up you can undo it

>add a layer or two with a subtle blend mode to tie the image together (useally one that can effect the pure black lineart like screen or hard light)

personally i think it really enhances the scenes it makes it feel more atmosphery, the orange lighting looks so good on Leon's hair mmmm (also just realized i fogor to color Leon's eyes and mouth aaaaaa)

Also while showing off this art because this basically turned into a big behind the scenes post it also made me feel like showing off this ref sheet which i never have actually done before now that I think about it. (i ended up simplyfying the bandage on Red's face for the comic, this does make more sense as a bandage for a serious injury compared to the actual one looking like a shitty band-aid but its distractingly detailed and it would be annoying to draw 50 times)

normally I also draw a back veiw but I was lazy and these outfits are pretty straightforward anyway i'm sure I'll never forget to draw a back veiw in sceneroes where it is important (forshadowing~)

maybe I'll show more refs at some point in the future lol tho some are pretty old and bad (if yall want me to show any in particular I probably can)

I made an animated trailer for my comic ZERO, I spent a long time on it so I hope you enjoy it <3 also on yt
