Fancying About Archiving Mgs Art I Did Before

"snake..... 😔🥺 don't forget to kill yourself....... 🥺😔"

i heard you have to draw from imagination to learn to draw from imagination so here's miller on a beach. i adjusted his pelvis and head many times and still haven't got it right, and i didn't even really try to make the light direction convincing. but this looks much less stiff and cardboard than my previous attempts so i am glad it is what it is

took sleeping pills yesterday and had funny dreams, among them - having to draw miller on a chalkboard, struggling to draw his glasses for some time but only being able to draw o-o, and then abandoning the effort, lol. didn't even attempt to draw his face or figure

i hate drawing that guy. i got 25 minutes for him today and accidentally reset the timer, so i had even more time but still didn't manage to draw him well and started shading after the timer ran out. his photos are always beautiful, it's frustrating to be unable to convey it in the sketch. and this is just some random person, idk how frustrated i will be if i try to draw a character or person i care about, lol - should do it anyway some day tho.

i wanted to do a 1.5 hour class before work, but due to some distractions and resetting the timer i had no time for the last sketch. not really satisfied and wanted to rage quit, took pauses during the last one even. i thought my little public practice diary was too negative due to me bitching so much despite having fun and was going to complain less, but not today it seems :')

idk when i will next have time to do 2 exercises in the same day, but when i do i want to draw some faces, big and small.

frustrating as it was, i am still definitely glad i keep up exercising daily. will see how long i can last

old sketch. Quiet 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍

a small miller study based on @/sunclown 's art and peace walker model. i intended to focus on the hairstyle but ended up paying more attention to the face. i think i finally have an understanding (or a guess, at least) of his face structure. drew the pic that i like tbh and then some rougher notes on the shapes i tried to capture, for future reference.

this will get to the right people

raiden was annoying to me in mgs2 bc he is like subversion of player's expectation set by snake: bitching about difficulties from the very start, initially refusing to do stuff he wasn't trained to (deactivate bombs), has emotional conversations with his gf about their relationship etc. none of which is bad tbh but it is the opposite of what i expected after mgs1. but that's why he's a fun protagonist, teasing the player a bit. i am glad he's still annoying in rising (like bothering kevin with unsolicited marriage talk, the courtney codec calls if you don't save etc) and lowkey evokes cringe reaction from the voice he definitely does on purpose, the whole the "i get off to shredding dudes" ripper thing. they really integrated devs trying to make him more appealing to audience into his character development. but tbh to me, mgrr raiden is more cringe than mgs2 raiden (and that's a big part why rising is fun). in mgs4 there are fun moments which are definitely meta jokes (like the timing of the raiden in hospital scene, i am sure it was set up for player to expect seeing snake, or the voice) but it's serious so there's less room for fun. it's a shame tho that the devs seem to shy away from the mgs2 raiden, should've embraced him more and admit that players who hate on him just don't get it or aren't into it, he already was a well designed character.

and rosemary hate is wild, ofc it's bad to violate people's trust and their relationship is edgy and creepy but by mgs standards it's pretty wholesome and full of hope (except for raiden hitting her). idk what do they mean by ruining raiden's life, he literally brags about how much he loves his family in rising

i will say tho adding onto the post i reblogged before last like. raiden was also generally not well received on the launch of 2 for like multiple reasons but i imagine being annoying was one of them and i think its really only because of rising a good portion of people like him. yknow after they made him a cool robot with that deeper voice and other shit i havent played rising. rose still gets treated infinitely worst by fans tho for shit she didnt do

i tried to go to femboy hooters but it was just this guy there and he'd only talk about the horrors of war has this happened to anyone else

did one hour today instead of the usual 1.5. i like the 5 minute pieces.

after the practice was finished, my mate did some corrections to the final one and gave some advice. i doubt i will be able to apply what he told me about faces for now, but at least legs should improve if i remember his tips.

i am not surprised with bad faces bc i am only learning, but i am surprised that i deprived the big back woman of her back and didn't notice it at all until it was pointed out.

a while ago i had fun drawing a blogger but making her muscles even bigger using a muscles anatomy picture reference. might have to do some anatomy practice now (not only muscles but bones too) bc i have little understanding how a human is built and it becomes a prominent enough issue to try to fix it.

also i enjoyed using a pen again.
