#zeons projects

Fellas, it's finally finished. I think it's my first "proper" video I've done, even if it's just voicelines. But this one took like 2-3 months in total. But dang, it's been a wild ride. I started out with ingame recordings and ended up datamining the game, to extract the soundfiles instead.

Huge thanks go out to @sgiansporran and @peace-comes-dropping-slow for helping me with identifying them/sorting them/exporting them etc. But very big thanks to Sporran for fixing my mistakes with figuring out what is being said in the unused soundfiles.

I hope you all enjoy! I have no clue if it's good enough, but best to sleep over it and start thhe next projects soon. I'll get a bit better with each video. Maybe in a year I'll have more knowledge.

Either way, I will work on other stuff for a while, before tackling the next video.

Here are two new ones as well:

The Heatwave brainrot is big

Gotta love drawpile sessions

I never finished this doodle, but fun practice piece either way.

Look it is Quintor, the design is not set yet. *explosions*

I need to study the RiD 2015 style more tbh. Ignore Heatwave's goofy pose-

One thing for sure, I need more action artworks. I was wondering if I should get some inspirations from Street Fighters.

Sketcheeees

Tumblr would make the whole image blurry, so I cut it into 3 images. One of the sketches I made for @fan-burns for one of their AUs. We were discussing how Heatwave would look like when he got infected with something. And the result of my quick sketch looks honestly horrifying. ofdhjwojwfoiw

I forget I have doodled them all so much now

I always looooove seeing sketch pages from different artists and I wish I could see more of these. If I remember correctly most or some folks mostly just show finished pieces. I always wonder what their artworks looked like beforehand as WIPs. Or what studies they do.

I think a small amount of these I haven't shown before. Hope you enjoy. I may not post much this week due to a commission. I need to focus on testing acrylics.

Once I finish my sketchbook I can finally scan it. It has so many RB sketches oml.

Fellas so like

like, so like. Yeah so- Roper dragon

Why is he a dragon? I shall show with ze AU soon. I already shared it on discord, so figured I can show this in here.

Compilation of drawings to showcase how I felt the past weeks.

Characteres are

Althea, Setra Topclass

Eleanor, Mercedes Benz eCiatro Fuell Cell

I redrew the dragonform of M5, because I somehow do that each year, mostly headshot. I have to progress and make a fullbody one too

So like these are my old attempts

Like cool, nice improvements

And now comes the one from today

Random topic aside, working on löre. Please enjoy my notes for my Birdwaves;;;;;

They live in my head rent free.

They dance! They sing! They are innocent!! (No they're not bullying each other you craycray)

Which weekend will I sit down to do more writing hhmmm. Trying to flesh out something with the Quintessons and them being a big threat to the Rescue Team. Well, not just one version- Oh lawd

Ok I will try to use tumblr a bit more and see if I wanna continue with this one or another website next to instagram.

So this project is something I wanted to do for a whiiiilleee. I often wanted to draw Eleanor in something different, because I felt very inspired by the new Dune movies. And I have been working on her lore for a while. Tho in comparison to other characters I have not worked on her lore too much. There are different versions of her actually. And the one shown in these drawings is Eleanor Blossom, who doesn't strictly belong to the main lore, but will be an important factor to it. Next to her Advisor Idris, who is featured in the finished painting.

Now there is an earlier depiction of Eleanor Blossom, together with WIPs I did not continue, due to them lacking something I felt unhappy with.

I get inspiration from various songs while drawing her, tho there is never just one song. Usually multiple.

I had sketched her with a potential crown at one point, but had to put the project aside for a while

So when I decided to draw her again (after an Instagram vote) I thought to myself "OK, I wanna draw her throne room, how do I do that?" I wanted to get inspiration from Mercedes Benz but I can't go to the bus plant. So I figured to check out the Museum Instead! I tried doing a bit of research of Mercedes Benz history before heading there. The story of Bertha and Karl Benz is really interesting.

The fact the Museum looks like the star from above is giving me an aneurysm

Tho, I arrived there in the afternoon and didn't know what to expect, but ended up staying there up until half an hour before closing time.

I might need to keep details out for the youtube video I wanna make, so I will showcase a screenshot of pictures I took while being there

I sketched a bit (also including pictures of sketches that I made on other days)

After the trip I sat down and designed her clothing/crown some more. And I was very happy with the results.

I also started to design the room from a top view. I had a few itterations but stayed with one similar to the top view of the museum.

And I tried making some test thumbnails of how the final image could look like

I figured to tint it in blue rather than cold red/grey and this is also the first time where I decided to use blender properly for the first time.

I was very confused at first, but after a while I understood the basics and just built something SUPER basic and use this to help myself with the perspective.

Honestly haven't felt so anxious about a drawing until this one, I kept drawing other things out of procrastination and in the 3rd and final week I told myself "ok, last week to work on it, afterwards I need to move onto the next project" and it did help me to continue forward even if I didn't feel like it. And in the end I was able to pull something off!

I feel very happy to be able to take what I have imagined for so long, and turn it into reality in some shape or form. I don't think anyone ever put an eCitaro into a dress heuheueh

and not to forget, here are some other doodles I've made while working on this.

Originally there were other doodles but for Instagram I left them out

My ass has never worked on something so complex before until this painting. Very rewarding but makes me so anxious.
