Traditional Art TwiLit Between: Icy Divine Wallpaper (WIP)

Going to show WIP with this wallpaper. The purpose of this one is to practice BaCkGrOuNdS - something I suck at.

I've decided my best method of approach was to sketch a plan, do an underpainting, and then layer after layer of details on top until the final product is reached. As you can see, I chose an ice cave setting, fit for Loxothel, one of the main characters of my upcoming fanfic, TwiLit between. He is the offspring of Vexen. You can see another sketch of a character in the background. Her name is Nerxa, and she will also be in this wallpaper.

Anyway, I've got the entire sketch done, some lines on Loxothel, and you can see me start the underpainting here. I hope my planned method works for me...



Yes, the right side is cut of in a stylish manner. The text will run down the side there instead of being plastered onto the image like in the last wallpaper, for those of you who saw it here.

I'll update this thread each time I make some progress, so you can see the artwork grow.

And stay tuned for the prologue of the fic. It is coming rather soon.

wow..
that's pretty cool..^^

 

Thanks. I hope to make it look friggin epix when I'm done, seeing as Loxothel is my favourite character. Haha.

 

you need to color it..
Dude
and after you colored it..
it'll be awesome

 

I certainly hope you are right about that. I'm actually VERY new at colouring on photoshop especially.

Not many people know that.

I also have to line and clean up the lines. Hmmm...I'm thinking I'll outline the background a bit, too with clean lines and see if I'd rather have a lined, unlined, or partially lines version. What I'm thinking is...I make the lines then put them toa setting where they aren't as hard or crisp as say, the character or object lines, on some parts, especially when it gets further away from the front of the image.

I don't know, I'm a noob at this.

Hahaha.

 

well i'm no good at coloring.. lol

 

Naked guys =/= Cool

This isn't cool, this is art. Amazing. This is just amazing. You have a real artistic talent, I must say.

 

Thanks so much! I'm working hard on completing it. <33

 

What are you doing to it? Coloring or adding more drawings to it?

 

Colouring and lining, making the entire background. It will be in an ice cavern. This is my first time drawing backgrounds so I'm taking my time with layering it over so I can make it look the way it does in my head.


Loxothel + Nakedness = EPIC hahaaa.

 

Naked dude, kewl. X3 Actually I think this looks rather good so far. His neck seems to be too thin compared to the body but that's just my opinion, you don't really have to change it.

If you want to, could you PM me your progress on this? I'm very interested in seeing how you work with your drawings, maybe if possible I could give a few pointers if I know any. =3

 

loxothel huh..?
SOUNDS LIKE AN ICE GOD TO ME ^^
Man, this is really cool.. i mean super Cool

Wow...girl, you have everything

This is very good, and I will be checking to see it's progress.

 

I write much, like doing choreography, and design video games as well. Pretty much anything in the creative arts I enjoy.
