Hello!

Hello!

I’m curious- how long does it take to draw a sketch versus a rendered drawing?

I really love your art! It always amazes me with how detailed it turns out to be.

I hope you have a great week!

it really, really depends

a doodle like the ones i often do for the asks can take up from literally 5 min to i'd say 30 min? depends if i want to shade it in any way tbh

as for full rendered pieces - hours, usually days i can do one in one day (hard to call it a day when i start at like 12pm end up 4am but ykwim) but it can also take like 3 or 5 depending on how many breaks i take

honestly comes down to how many characters and the environment cuz the thing that takes up the most time, i'd say is coloring and shading i can sketch up pretty quickly and i don't go for super clean, smooth line art anyway i like the messy, free style (also saves a lot of time) so filling in the colors takes a bit and i honestly don't enjoy it all that much (that's why most doodles r just shaded and not colored)

and then it just comes down to what the bg is and how it affects the char cuz then it's just shading both to fit in, to look natural and blend tgt nicely (or not at all cuz i like funky, neon and eyestrain lol)

2 pieces i can think of rn that took me the longest (that i still consider fresh enough to take up for consideration) r the SAMS anniversary art and first piece for my Calamari Lunar i did both took me like a week from what i can remember

the former bc of the amount of characters on it, each one had to be done fully and separately so it just took a bit the latter cuz it's a really detailed, lineless, heavily shaded (also cuz it was me designing a char, so it always takes a bit back and forth until it just feels right)

i'd love to give u actual numbers, but i don't keep track of it that much and my program doesn't say it either (at least idk abt it) so i'm just going off of my memory, how long i feel like it took and mayhaps looking at dates of when i send a friend a sketch, when i first started talking abt it, the file info vs the posting date but usually idc enough to do so, and often it just simply isn't possible

TL;DR a doodle can take like 5-30 min and rendered shit a few days most often cuz i'm slow af; it all comes down to what the piece is

also tysm! so glad u enjoy my little hellhole wonderland of mental instability and mostly just thirst traps! :D

yall have no idea how actually happy it makes me when ppl notice small details i put into my work there's just smth in my brain that says it needs to have so many lil details and things and be so well done even if it's gonna get blurred out, shaded til binary and covered by 8 diff layers of shit

das the talk.

*Running noises* SOLAR- PUT ON THIS SWEATER THAT SAYS "TWINK"- plz 😃

Oi Pio, may I have some pictures of your OCs or Personas (they don't need to be refs) because I'm planning on drawing them if that's okay with you-

Oi! like i said before - i don't mind ppl drawing my char at all! i love seeing that i can infect ppls minds with my shit feels awesome man

i had this doodle in the drafts for like fucking forever waiting to get the proper ref done but ig apparently i hate making those and stall til infinity so,

das the best i have for any other pics of them, u just gotta look thru my posts of them, i'm sorry; i don't really draw them that often

if anyone have any questions, r curious abt smth or just wanna make sure abt anything just go ahead and ask, in the inbox or even Dms, i really don't mind!

An idea I really want to draw but I don't have the motivation to:

Mer! Lunar: Gemini.

Mer! Gemini: wha-

Mer! Lunar: GEMINI!

Mer! Gemini: WHAT?-

Mer! Lunar: Stop. Putting a BOW. On my fin hat.

Mer! Gemini: ..No 😃.

Mer! Lunar: 😭-

( @piowasthere's AU, btw)

i wonder if lunar hat would be fun to fidget and play with

u heard the star.

Pio drop more Rez art and my LIFE IS YOURSSSSSSSSSSS

why do u guys even like 'im so much? i mean, yeah, the idea of the char and his place is the story fucking slaps

but we didn't see that much of him like at all give bro time to cook first damn

also idk why i find depressed Rez incredibly funny.

he is supposed to be made of that negative crap, isn't he? i find it only fitting.
