[Concept Art Thread] Smuggler's Refuge | The Road to Completion

Recommended Posts

Bumping to announce that the concept, The Virtuous Star, has been showcased on Prime Time. I have already made a forum post about my thoughts on it, so I won't repeat myself. With this, I will be drawing something in celebration.

For now, however, here is another work-in-progress of Jyoti. Not much has been made, but it's still progress nonetheless.

The newest Faus is very good, and the new info blurb is good. No complaints, and it'll be interesting to see where more tweaks take it.

Jyoti's profile looks like it's coming along well, as are the Grineer band's profiles.

No advice for the sketching block, other than to try your hand at something else (art or otherwise) and take a break from it. It'll come back to you.

I've just recently received a very beautiful piece from @evergreenmind as part of an art trade between the two of us. She did a piece for Jyoti, while I did a piece for Asimina Bek, which I'll be posting in the art thread for that concept as soon as it's done. This piece is absolutely gorgeous and I don't know if I could be able to thank her enough for doing such a wonderful job on it.

This aside, not much has been done concept-wise. As soon as my part of our art trade has been completed, Jyoti's paint will be my next big focus to finish, as well as getting Harktor's designs cleaned up, and hopefully painted.

I've decided that because of the similarities between the band's designs and Thadya's, Thadya will only be receiving minor edits to her design as opposed to a full redesign.

I've finished giving Jyoti his cell-coloured reference. Like before, right is his band outfit, left is an alternate.

The colouring of his band outfit is based on the drawing EGM made for me during our art trade.

Also, here are some palette tweaks for his band outfit.

@evergreenmind has been doing pixel art for her Asimina Bek art thread, and she lended me the guide she uses to make them.

So I made a pixel Jyoti. Full-size to the left, 400% canvas on the right.

Bonus: a little height comparison between him and the Faus sprite EGM made, which I based his height off of. Interesting to see the two extremes.

For someone who hasn't done pixel art in forever, it feels refreshing going back to it. Sure, eventually I'll have to go through and fix up all the kinks, but that aside it looks nice.

Couple things, first is a real rough sketch of some pre-Nevdrus Thadya and Tullic:

And a mockup design for Tullic's design. Not fond of it just yet, but it'll be good for when I go through and refine his design.

And finally, a rather comical sketch I did for fun since it's October now and dressing up as things you're not is a thing.

And the more excuses to draw dumb things, the better. Especially if it includes... uh... outfits.

I recommend with Tullic trying out stuff like teal or turquoise, like shades of blue but not pure blue. Pair it with either dark gray washed blue or almost white shades. My chub band hub must look handsome U_U

Not enough chestwindow on Darvo. (is that pic with them on-scale? To me Faus looks like a oompa-loompa, might wanna check that...)

Could try it whenever I get home. I'll see about trying out some other outfits for him, too. Gotta make the chub band hub perfect <3

No, didn't intend on it being accurate, it was something fun on a whim. After all, chest windows on Darvo.

On a more serious note, comparing their base heights (Faus is 5'1 with heels, Darvo is 6'4 according to a chart that's somewhere here) comparing the heights with the additive three inches of heel onto Darvo (Making Darvo here 6'8 with heels, while Faus is... 4'10 without heels.), it'd be about right, if anything I'd need to make Faus a little taller since I drew her on her toes.

So yes, Faus is meant to be absurdly short compared to virtually everything. I imagine she has Jyoti help her get stuff off of the higher shelves.

... Are you saying chest windows are not accurate on him? Then again, i don't think papa Bek would appreciate too much.

Chest windows are accurate on him, though. I'm talking about that expression he's making; I bet he'd rock that outfit, he just wouldn't do it in front of us, sadly

also is frohd jealous cause his son can flaunt it better than him

Made up an alternative palette for the chubby band hubby Tullic based on what you suggested, with some varied saturation levels and with some really lazy shading for your viewing pleasure.

Hopefully, once I'm done designing the band and likely have designed Harktor and Lares, I wanna go through and maybe give 'em dumb hats, cause it'd be fun.

Considering it's been over a week, I've figured it's about time to update.

Working on some art for Zeribus Ved:

One on the left is a throwback to his old design minus...

YAOI HANDS.

Honest, for whatever reason this isn't on my saves for MediBang on my phone, so I had to dig this out from my art blog.

Bonus: Smuggle Buddies, because StallordD requested that I refine a really dumb sketch of mine that I made after I drew up his designs. It looks... bad, but adorable, really.
