So I've Been Learning How To Draw The Dude (who I'll Call Mach Until His Actual Name Is Revealed) From

so i've been learning how to draw the dude (who i'll call Mach until his actual name is revealed) from Halfbrick's new prototype game TapKO cause i kinda got fixated on him,,, he's a stoic boxer who works his way up to becoming a true pro by punching the shit out of everything he sees, basically. the game he's from is on Halfbrick+ and it's pretty swell! (i may have also strained my wrist and forearm from all the excessive spamming while playing it.....)

(ignore the pupiless Garfield i forgor to crop the photo) i like drawing him in a sort of "come here" pose with his boxing gloves and giving his head a slight tilt (despite the fact that i can't draw head tilts properly...) i think he looks pretty cool like that :)

i like to imagine he doesn't really smile a lot, mostly out of slight embarrassment as he prefers to always have a permanent stone-faced Kubrick Stare™ and not show much emotion :P

did a little blender test to try to figure out how i should shade him. still figuring out how to shade properly on paper, i think this turned out alright :) i want his scar to be less defined though,, eh i'll fix it later

bonus machfries (barry x mach) crack ship sketches under the cut

man, this game hasn't even been out for a week and i'm already making stupid ship art of Mach and Barry lmao..... imagine if these two did get together though, Barry trying to lighten the mood and telling jokes, while Mach just gives him this absolute poker face,, and Barry just laughs awkwardly about it trying to change the subject. Mach would like him back though, they'd probably do little boxing matches in Barry's backyard or something :) (also sorry barry looks a little off, i keep forgetting how i usually draw him,,)

ok real talk.... this would happen.... probably. maybe Barry said something that pissed Mach off and lead him to punch him in the face, and as Mach gets close to him, Barry suddenly gets caught in his handsome focused eyes, his manly face, his awesome hair.... and then immediately gets pulled out of the moment as Mach punches the shit out of him. Barry's sitting down grimacing and recovering afterwards as Flash offers him bandages and ice packs. he looks pissed, and he is, but the way Mach so effortlessly beat his ass is still fresh in his mind. i think someone's in love :3

if someone ends up finding it please post the link in the reply section or reblog with the image itself thank you :)

been kinda fixated on Rock-Afire Explosion for a few days,, it's an interest that keeps coming and going every now and then, and this time it's come back swingin' so i drew a little sketch of Beach Bear for the first time :)

holy shit

i've been updating the Barry vtuber model a lot since yesterday's post and so far i think he looks really nice! i accidentally hyperfixated on drawing him and stayed up until like 11 PM drawing the rest of his head, so uhh,,, audhd win??? i think???? i dunno, here's the updates i've made to Barry:

this was one of the additions i did last night after the post. i drew up the rest of his chin and went ahead and coloured him in :) i added his beard and made a start on shading it, using colours from that one JJ2 promo artwork of Barry with his thumb up, you know the one,, he's already starting to look a lot more complete than yesterday!!

here i've drawn his mouth and added more shading to the side of his face, as well as little wrinkles near his eyebrows. if you squint hard enough, you can see some little discoloured pixels near the shading of his beard and the shading of his skin. that's cause i used the magic wand tool when shading his skin and didn't realise it until after i shaded it,, i'll fix it later if i don't forget :)

he has an ear now!! that's,,, that's kinda it really. those numbers at the top are there to tell me which brush thickness i used for certain sections of his hair. speaking of hair...

Barry now has a hairline :) not a complete hairline at this point, as i needed to fix up the sizing to make sure it doesn't skew oddly and make him look like he got a fucked up haircut. you can see that the left (Barry's left) part of the hairline goes out too far because i just pasted it on there to see how it'd look. also he has two ears now :P

... and here's how he looks as of right now! Barry now has a full hairline, proper line colouring, improved spacing in between his facial features and he now has the brand new feature of staring directly into the very culmination of your being :) now that i've repositioned his eyes, i realise just how weirdly cross-eyed he was before,, drawing them like that might have been a side effect of being inspired by the way eyes in MLP are kinda positioned close to the middle when they're looking ahead,,,

if you're wondering what all those tiny rectangles everywhere are, they're there as a sort of rough measurement tool to make sure everything is relatively lined up. it's basically a way to count how many pixels high or across something is from another asset so i can realign it. for example, Barry's eyes are 52 pixels across from where the whites of his eyes start in the middle of his face. if that sounds confusing, take a peek at the little lines in the whites of his eyes and you'll see that's where i was measuring. if you look closely you can see a tiny little '52' in the middle of his face from when i was counting :)

that's it for my progress on Barry's vtuber model stuff. again, this is mainly a personal project, so i may not finish it until much later if i lose interest, but i'll try to get him done in a reasonable amount of time. he's already looking good so far :)

eueuegh,,, pepiños paghetti
