this illustration in particular TOOK AGES. i mean we're talking onwards 20hrs +, but overall I was very pleased with the "uniform" hatching so back well worth broken id say
AH IT JUST LOOKS SO CLEAN MMMMM
but most of the other illustrations only took abt 4-6 hrs, a fraction of the time
There was originally to be 18+ illustrations but,, uh obviously that didn't happen TwT, school and training hit me hard so I had to effectively cut the workload in half to maintain my best efforts. A bit sadge, I had to cut out some really cool ideas for simpler designs
Little stuffs just for the fun of it lul:
Judo: Full name: Judo Hearth Age at death: 25 Height: 5'8 Appearance: defined facial features, wavey dim dusty brown hair, reliable faded grey-blue eyes w/ touches of black & silver, lively body language Judo comes from a HUGE family of butcherers, he is the oldest child and only son with an army of younger sisters. Family is everything to him and is the reason he became a bounty hunter, his deeds caught wind and allowed him to become a knight who quickly raised his way through the ranks. He's a very social soul and is pretty much a friend to everyone in the nation. Reincarnated: He remains scarred from his execution and continuously bleeds, however, he is endowed with heavenly strength and a writhen desire to administer & maintain justice.
Benjamin: Full name: Benjamin Rockwell "Benji" Age at death: 22 Height: 6'0 Appearance: Softer facial features (rounder face, gentle eyes), straight long jet black hair, big intuitive dark eyes w/ hints of gold, always in good posture Benjamin is the only child of a widowed father, who was highly religious and determined to raise his son with dignity and modesty, thus the reason for Benji's high moral code. The two were of peasant class putting young Benji basically always put to work or attending religious practices carving out his diligent demeanor but sadly also a lingering social ineptness. Reincarnated: Composed of ash, able to shapeshift and deploy himself as ashen creatures to patrol the nation.
Ngl I'm a part of the Benjamin appreciation party bc I'm WEAK for polite ppl with lonk hair but ejtbg some people seem to favor Judo more lulul
I had originally planned for Judo to be named "Juno" (which I still prefer), I forgot exactly why I changed it last minute but knowing my dumbass I probs just accidentally wrote it wrong and went, damb I'm too lazy to change that now. Oh well 💀
omg leo how the absolute shit did u learn how to draw muscles?? are you cheating??? - yes I cheated, its called google dawg💀💀
* This is my absolute go to for faces at different angles, very very helpful: http://referenceangle.com
* For body references I tend to look up medical male anatomy diagrams, or 3D male model, such as https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/male-anatomy-view-gm459951679-31393234 & https://cdna.artstation.com/p/marketplace/presentation_assets/000/921/744/large/file.jpg?1621115690
With the references, I try my best to render em in (emphasize on TRY, I'm aware they are hella scuffed but eeeehhhhhh, good enough) also ofc my bois arent as beefed up as the models jhtbgtrg and I also take my liberties with em, *aHEM*, especially at the waist & tiddies. (their snatchness may not be anatomically feasible but idc) 💀🤚
But most importantly, thank y'all for reading. I spent a lot of time on this and though it started out as just a school project at least it's here for whoever stumbles upon it to enjoy too.
