Drawing V1 Everyday Until Layer 9 Drops: Day 3

I finally got kind of an animation going. More info under the cut!

I’m planning on synthesizing some ggwave inputs or some kind of other data-through-sound thing for the audio. If anyone has any suggestions for apps to animate in lmk( I’m STRUGGLING with the limited animation frames in Procreate’s animation assist). The alphabet is from someone on tumblr, I’ll edit the link in when I find it.

For anyone who wants to know what the cryptic writing says:

RKGK bcs hes very cute

grandpa torture hours

spongebob closing theme 10 hour loop

Don't be weird about my art! I block freely!

Mirabel (bottom right corner) was made by the lovely @nrrrdgrrrl2002

Megatron's stupid high commands:

Based on this:

Day 15 - mushrooms

I thought this was a 3D render at first😭 this is amazing

The Archangel and His Machine, V1

yes its based on 'Ivan the Terrible and His Son'

some in-progress screenshots/behind-the-scenes under the cut~

Sketching, lineart (which was abandoned eventually, as you can see lmfao) and basic color/lighting blocking:

I created mockup poses using DAZ3D, as well as using Dotflare's 'HD Gabriel' model and Xetirano's 'V1 model' as visual references for drawing some of the details correctly.

I modelled the background by hand in Blender and aligned it with my previously-created DAZ3D poses to get the perspective correct and kinda just...slapped some colors and perspective blur on it and called it a day.

This is about 12 days' worth of work, ish. I can't remember if I worked on it every day or not.
