Escape Prelim
🕑 Added 2018-04-30 17:58:57 +0000 UTC Happy Monday! Here's the finished prelim for Pisces: Escape.I'm pleased with how this came out! I would say it's 98% finalized. There's some stuff yet that needs to be added to the backround (the shape of a giant's hand, a couple more super faded trees), but I don't think I could add it on paper without losing the order I put things in right now (bless whoever came up with layers in photoshop), and maaaaybe tilt it an extra degree (a bit maybe), but otherwise, I really enjoyed working on this.
Working on this project is definitely putting me back in touch with what I enjoyed about drawing to begin with: working with things I can touch and immerse myself in. Pencil will always be my first love, and I really, really like just working with it. I wish it was something I could integrate into my work more during editorial work (outside of rough thumbnails) but the things I love about it like the meditative aspect and the tactile experience unfortunately take too much time for super quick turnarounds! so I'm glad I get to do it with these pieces. It brings me back to being a 10 year old sitting on the porch with a bunch of pencils scattered everywhere, learning about my love for mark making.
Anyway, what do you think? I'd love to hear from you guys <3
And to my patrons, thank you so much for your support! Tomorrow is May (where's this year going???) so I'm excited to have beaten the clock by a day and gotten the prelim for this piece done before the month started! ;) that means I can spend all the time in the world noodling away once I get this into photoshop. Your pledges are so, so appreciated for helping me do this! and I will be sending out rewards on the 5th as always. A new stream will be scheduled for the 20th, and Waterbearer will be uploaded to INPRNT in time for your new 10% off code.
To those who are not patrons: I hope you're enjoying this work! and if you'd like to support it, every single dollar helps.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
