Princess Verbina 1
🕑 Added 2017-07-12 15:42:48 +0000 UTC I think i'll add the Aku bubble in the second picture alone rather than having it in this one. i kind of like the standalone penis-awe in this with nothing else to interrupt. plus i think it may be a good surprise for the second pic but i don't know. From the original WIP of this, i didn't like using the colors of Aku's lair when in contrast with Verbina and i wanted one that would emphasize her palette. So i went back to the episode to see what other backgrounds could be offered and they had this moody, bluish grey beach which i loved! i especially liked the slanted mountainsides to it as well.made it a lot easier to make the background for me. Verbina stuck out really strong after i implemented the background so i had to create a couple of "ambient" layers (if that's whats appropriate to call them) in order to tone her colors down to match the environment as well as implement a gradience of darkness starting from top to bottom and get a "loom" kind of lighting on her. As mentioned from the WIP to this, i wanted to emphasize for of girth, shape, and vein work on this and not sure on how to feel about it. on one hand, i do like how i can tell it has irregularity of shape and lumpiness to it, however the veins could use some work. I feel it may be contradictory of what i'm about to say but i wish for them to be subtle but still strong? What i also don't like is the amount of time it took.
just the dick alone took a couple hours so i'm definitely doing something wrong with this method for minimal results compared to expectation of time investment. One last thing i'd like to mention is that i like that im having more experience working on a really cartoony looking character and implementing my rendering with it. I've mentioned many times in the past that i have issues with translating the style of a toony look with mine to preserve their quality and the second problem of how would i even color them once i've done so. I can still see some noticeable issues, especially when it comes to the hair and eyes feeling too flat. Thinking about this for quite some time but maybe i may have to change up rendering styles to make this work. just a theory at the moment but we will see.
as usual, hope you guys like! will work on the second one, the next ruby page and lapis 2 asap!
