Behind The Scenes (art Process)

behind the scenes (art process)

I tried out a different shading method!! Had so much fun with it. Usually I draw each shadow placement but this time I wanted the lighting to be more dramatic and have more dark areas.

So I started with everything shaded then erased the parts where I wanted the light to hit.

I loveeeee the lighting test sketch, so simple, pure vibes, just nice contrast lighting hehehe

Had to use more brain power thinking of where the highlights would be for overhead lighting.

Plus almost lost my mind trying to figure out how to invert the selection of pixels to the transparent pixels, played around with mask layers and eventually searched online (should’ve done this in the first place)

This is where I learnt a nice little trick called CTRL+click on the layer thumbnail (thank god for the past csp artists who struggled with the same thing, I learn from your passed down wisdom)

Eventually I was able to add more highlights and oomph for the non shaded parts

Also I struggled with Tim’s left arm quite a bit, there was a weird gap between Cass’ cheek, Tim’s shoulder, and Cass’ arm wrapping from behind. Played around with different poses to see which worked anatomically!

Also using a reference really helped for the crying faces!! My initial sketches made Tim look like a meme and I was struggling lmao

I’m back. With more art for Banshee in a Well!!!!!

Firstly, my favourite dynamic in the fic was Tim & Cass

Best siblings ever, the last chapter gave me so much healing. She really was there for Tim and comforted him.

-🦇-

Arms wrap around him, warm and familiar, a head of black hair tucking into his neck as he freezes. Cassandra has always been the strongest of them all, and he can feel it in the way she’s gripping him like he’ll disappear any moment now, body trembling and face wet from where it’s pressed against his skin.

Carefully, Tim brings his arms up to hold Cass back. She’s always cried loudly, almost out of spite for the silence beaten into her as a child. But right now, she weeps without a sound. He swallows, his own eyes burning as he buries his face into her collarbone, fingers twisting into the sweater he recognises as his own.

Neither of them says a word for a while. They just hold onto one another and try to breathe.

“I am not leaving. Not again. Not anymore.”

“Cass,” he says, voice dangerously close to cracking, but she just squeezes his wrists gently.

“It is not okay,” she whispers brokenly, but with a kindness he hates and loves in equal measure, “and that is alright.”

“Cry, stupid,” she says, voice trembling.

And Tim-

Tim breathes.

And he finally breaks.

He collapses forward into his sister, chest heaving with sobs that practically tear their way out of his throat, and it hurts more than any death he’s died before. Cass is crying with him, loud and open, but she doesn’t stop holding him, she doesn’t let him go for a second.

(God I eat up all these quotes from the fic. THE AUTHOR IS AMAZING I LOVE THEIR WRITING SO MUCH) *proceeds to ugly cry during every reread*

Timelapse:

ok so the animators went completely balls to the wall with this scene and it was making me do backflips so i kinda had 2 draw it,,,

liver leaf stills reminded me of tim eerily enough

Can I see more of reverse robins AU?

YESSIR HERE'S THEM. And I love the hcs that Damian, Tim and Jason have bat-themed names and suits, since Dick is the very first colorful Robin ever!

Late night working…

Also I agree with all the headcanons that Tim would be a Monster kid lmao

The thing I like about Kabru is that he has Main Character Energy leaking from every pore. He was born with unusual eyes. He's the last survivor of a village destroyed by an out-of-control dungeon. He was taught to be an extremely effective manslayer by his hot adoptive elf mom. He can read people like a book. He picks up women effortlessly.

But in the dungeon he's completely out of his depth and all his Sherlock abilities are completely useless against Laios, the Most Autistic Man Alive and the real main character.
