To the roof

Commission for a friend at work for their 1 year anniversary.
I'm more an action RPG fan myself but it was a fun project to research up on. Doesn't hurt being a long time Akihiko Yoshida fan too. If I had the time though I'm sure I'd be into it.


Check out some of the process last post.

Roof fantasy WIP

Some process of my latest commission. (Gotta pay for Smash Bros somehow:))
done mostly in Paint tool SAI

Starting from really rough sketches (I lost the other rough)

Cleaning up for approval and finalizing the ideas

Laying down the line work and some minion changes:)

And the flats. Each color is usually on it's own layer to allow for easy corrections.

Most of the heavy work done. The shading is done directly on the each of the separate color layers.

Helloooo Nurse

This month's theme is Warner Bros toons and somehow I remembered this little number. (Going for some Shane Glines stylin;P)
Don't expect a mass of posts for this theme. I've got other things on the drawing board

Samus primed

So with the month of Smash out of the way it's time to go back and revisit a few of the sketches.
First up is Samus. I decided to switch up the suit from Other M to Prime 1. I have to say the M version is a much simpler design. I may have gone a little overdone with the shoulder here but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out.
Hmm which one next?

Bo-Ness sketch

A quick Smash extra for the month.
Ness, as a request from a work colleague. I'd been taunting him with the promise of Ness from the beginning of the month.
Oh and it's Earthbound's 20th anniversary:)

Phantom Princess

Princess Zelda with a nod to Spirit Tracks. I love her new down special. I'm really happy how this one turned out composition wise. I'll probably render it up later.
So unless nintendo introduce a new lovely lady to the main line up that's it for now.
Again thank you for bearing with me. It wasn't my plan to draw all the ladies, not that I'm complaining:)

Marth!..well that's what she said....

Fire Emblem's Lucina makes it into Smash Bros.
I think we're done, thanks for bearing with me this month

EDIT: Okay, there's one more to go and it's not Falcon:)

Zero Mission Speedrun

I'm all for the new Samus options in Smash Bros announced yesterday.
Inspired by the art from the endings of Zero Mission and Fusion. Both BGA games are still some of my favorite Metroid games:)

Power Bomb

More Smash Bros sketching. My favorite bounty hunter:)
I found "the Other M"power suit quite easy to draw. It still feels classic but a lot of the detail was simplified.

REGRETROID

A tactful lady

Robin, the lady with a plan. Female MC from Fire Emblem Awakening and now Smash Bros.
I really didn't expect I'd keep drawing all these characters. I guess that's what happens when you've got an audience:)

Untouchable hunter

The volvidon S armor set probably got me though most of the high rank village quests.
Evasion +2 (charm), tremor res and attack up large (gemmed). Probably one one of the best, easy to make high rank sets in MH3U:)

It's funny, I never noticed the ventitilation until I was drawing it

Cake for breakfast

I had some time this morning so I thought I'll do another one for this months work theme. So why not some more Ice king fan fiction with Fionna and Cake.
I wanted to go all out on a cute anime style. Hmmm, well lets just mark that down as a fun attempt:)

♪ She’s got the moves like jaggi ♪

I've been meaning to draw the Jaggi set for a while now. Took way longer than I expected. Theres a detail jump between the MH freedom series and tri. I'm wondering what that jump will be like going on to MH4.

roughing it out

I still hadn't decided on a weapon

I decided to multiply the tones over the jaggi material to keep the pattern
