Indeed. The thing is that if someone ACTUALLY would do something like this they can get fined and/or put in jail depending on the country they are in. Plus bickering at people online generally not fruitful anyway.

Ok we have liftoff! (Still have to tweak the controls a lot, and wait for more parts before putting it together properly)

I guess you are living in one of those typical Dutch places with very narrow staircases? But good job on getting an arcade cab :D

A bunch of sketchbook doodle pages from the last few days. Feels really good drawing on actual paper again, something I want to do WAY more of. Very out of practise, still feels a bit wonky, but getting back into the groove slowly feels nice.

A few last minute edits, and my little 32x32px Doom sprite collection is complete. ✌️

(mostly) 32x32px fan sprites of the classic Doom monsters. The Cyberdemon is 40x40px; the Spider Mastermind is 64x40px.

Or like 4 or so indie games.

I think I see what you mean. The last few episodes were mostly tying off knots of the plot, which was needed, but most of the actually interesting stuff happened somewhat earlier.

Very good rule, for sure. Better Call Saul is excellent, imo even better than BB in a lot of ways. Enjoy :D

then picotron might be fore you. higher res and there are ways to define the palette which is also bigger.

Nice edits. Though I feel that Dracula lost some of his ferocity and looks a tad less crazed.

Basically a bunch of abstract ink doodles on paper, scanned, and each put on its own layer. Then I just played around with blend modes and transparency, reordering layers, turning certain layers off, zoom in, find interesting compositions and just do select & merged copy. And then go from there.

Sven "ptoing" Ruthner @ptoing.bsky.social · 11d

And then just taking crops of nice compositions in which you see potential, and go from there. Use blend modes a fair bunch to preserve the texture of the traditional media scans, don't overwork etc. Though this can also be used to make starts for very polished pieces.

The idea is to have a good amount of the initial shape sketches. They should not be overly complex but have decent depth (getting fainter towards the back) and size variation. It's pretty easy to find neat starting points by playing with the layers, toggling, switching modes.

Another ancient (ca. 2006 I think) digital piece, which I still like. Used a method from a Scott Robertson video. Make some shape sketches with depth using traditional media (markers, inks, whatevs), then scan them and put them into layers. Play with blend modes, find a part you like.

Very old (2009, I think) piece which I still kinda like. Likeness is not great, but the style is fun (tho I rarely do any vector stuff) And the yellow stuff in the back is actual acrylic paint I scanned, which I think works nicely with the graphic approach of the main figure.
