Lee's Nonsense

short notes

now i have their “”final”” designs down

drawing huxley’s locs was difficult but very quickly became my new favourite subject

damien has an anti-eyebrow piercing. he would

he also has ear piercings because he’s a gay dude from a homophobic single mother ofc his ears are pierced don’t ask me stupid questions

dames is average height hux is just giant

hux’s hands are huge and calloused by the way

second photo’s a reference to the lasko date bonus audio iykyk but it’s one of my fav moments of these two ever i had to include it

same dry bristle brush and blending tool for the most part.

played around with some color adjustment channels and that's how i got these cool purple and green hues that i leaned into

also wanted to use the color dodge layer again. my go-to for that is usually a warm orange because i love warm orange, but i thought blue would be better not only because this takes place in a lab where there's presumably little sunlight, but also because oranges are often emphasized due to subsurface scattering from skin. since this literally comes after a line talking about asset not being human, i thought a cooler color dodge light would be better

the right pic is with the warm light and the left is one without any color dodge/overlay layers

i still kinda think it might look better without any of the layer stuff, but ehh

and for their chest and face, i yoinked this tile texture from pinterest and put it on a low opacity soft light layer to get that yummy texture

ALSO LOOK WHAT I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO TIMELAPSE!! :D

it only has like an hour of doodling since that's what i got done in one sitting and i'm not stitching together like ten different clips also sorry for the occasional long pauses or whenever i left the program, please understand i was being sent cat memes. blame lucid idk

also, i've been bullied into putting my signature on my art cause apparently that's kinda important 🙄 /j i don't have a cool looking signature so this works for now ig lol

not sure if i like how this came out overall, since i think the color dodge took away a lot of the texture, but finishing this is my belated birthday present to myself so IT WORKS
