January PSD files
Hey guys! Here are the PSD files for the pieces I worked on last month. I know I've been silent since the start of the new year. An update on my situation is coming soon, sorry for the wait!
CSP Brushes and Holiday Break
Christmas has come early! I finally got around to organizing my tools in Clip Studio Paint. So here is my new brush set. There are 36 brushes (CSP subtools) in total. If you want to see how I use them there will be a video published on YouTube tomorrow morning where I explain how I use them!Disclaim...
December PSDs
Here are the PSD files for the illustrations I worked on this month! I'm posting them a little early as I'm leaving for a short vacation and will only be back in the first week of January. Lots of great things are planned for 2025!https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/b5w5ujvd2nin2u7rs9hjf/AJBfCxJ...
Crimson
Finished up this piece! I will post the PSD next week with the other things I worked on this past month.
Lady In Red WIP
I've been working on this new painting and here are some progress shots. I understand they're taken quite far into the progress, but I still have a long way to go to complete this piece. I didn't do a fully shaded drawing before painting, but rather started with a very rough colour sketc...

Process Images
Here's a new character design! I'm getting pretty comfortable with this process now and can play a bit with different effects and presentation ideas for better storytelling.
November PSD and CSP Files
Since I've started using Clip Studio Paint more, I've attached both file formats in this month's folder.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/u0rytm2tfuiws1uoyx9dh/AD2DJD5epgD1TZY-cNMTamo?rlkey=5fdz3hyhcuwe9uabs83o9mkfn&st=8yh0bvik&dl=0
Illustration Progress
Hey everyone! Here's a quick illustration I did to test out some workflows. It's not super polished but I think it gets the idea across. I know I have a lot of pieces in progress now that I need to finish, but sometimes my brain just wanders and I can't help but start something new.
Flat or Shiny?
Which is your favorite?
Stylized Character WIPs
I've been honing in on a process and style that I'm starting to be happy with. The Challenger was the last character I did in this style but the process was messy. This time I had a better idea of what I was shooting for but the sketch ended up being a struggle anyways. All in all, there'...

Mushroom Harvester Process
Hey everyone! I restarted this character this morning and this is where I am so far with the design. I figured I'd focus more on the design itself with Lineart rather than jumping into painting right away. I really like the direction in which it's going this time!

The Golden Archer
Autumn is my favorite time of the year and while wrapping up this illustration I was really inspired to bring some of that cozy sensation and golden hour light to the mood of the painting. This is the main illustration I focussed on this month. The PSD for this illustration and the other studies I w...

Rendering Studies
I've been doing a lot of "RnD" to test different approaches to designing, painting, drawing etc. Some approaches were more focused on lines and design while others were more focused on painting, material representation, and color. I've always searched for a style that balances the ...
