One Of My Warmup Sketches From Last Weekend, Which I Never Colored Or Shaded.

One of my warmup sketches from last weekend, which I never colored or shaded.

[ID: A simple digital portrait, with dark line-art and colored entirety in the same shade of pale grey. The person has a sharp jawline, short hair, and is wearing glasses and a thick hoodie. End ID]

✨ (: Clothing Update (: ✨

He finally has some armor, and now a sash/bandanna with gold accents, in an attempt to make him fit the fantasy genre a bit better. For now, this will be his usual traveling and dungeon-dwelling outfit, and the original will serve as his casual one. A small change was made to the color palette as well, adding green to balance out the warm greys and to match his magic.

The Deathbell Spriggan

Art & Design Notes

Sorry about the lack of art for the past few days, I have some different art pieces/designs in various stages of completion, but irl stuff has kept me from being able to work on them enough to make much progress.

However, as part of some school work, I got to throw together a variant on the Elder Scrolls' Spriggan enemy. As a result, I have a new design, and too many thoughts about it.

Critique and other comments are always welcome! The ID is under the cut, after my design notes. (:

In vanilla Skyrim, there are three (3) different variations on the spriggan enemy: normal, burnt, & matrons. While they all have some differences, they share the following traits:

Brightly colored swarms of insects and warm light coming from their bodies

A set of antlers made of twisted and pointed branches

"Carved" faces

Sexualized feminine bodies

Decoration around the shoulders

The body is made of gnarled wood

While it's not necessary to follow every design convention, following most will insure that the new variation still reads as the same type of enemy. The main changes were made to the color palette and decorations around the bust. Desaturated birch bark would contrast the bright insects and flowers, and the gradients on the limbs (hopefully) draws attention to the face.

To make sure this variant stands out, rather than doing flame damage like the burnt version, its claws are slightly poisonous. They have the same ravage stamina effect as the deathbell flowers that grow on its body. If I make another, it can drain magika and round out the group.

[ID: A digital drawing, portraying a spriggan, from the Elder Scrolls series. Like most spriggans, it has a feminine body, with a hollow stomach cavity, and a body formed out of twisting wood. Unlike spriggans found in Skyrim, its legs end in points, and rather than having branches sprout from the collar bones, the rough shapes of deathbell flowers grow instead. One eye has been replaced by a swirl, done in black pen, unlike the rest of the sketch. Small lines from the sketch are visible under the art, though most have been blurred out.

The wood is white, with grey swirls, and dark gradients on the ends of the limbs and antler crown. The flowers are purple, with pink bases and blue ends. Gold mist hangs around the head and stomach cavity. End ID]

noticing a slowly declining population of anime techno fanarts lately. while pig techno is the more popular breed at the moment and technoblade himself has expressed favoritism toward pig technos please remember that BOTH anime AND pig technos are needed to maintain for a healthy ecosystem! it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful species fading. i know anime technos require more maintenance in the form of expensive hair conditioners but that’s not an excuse to abandon them. if you can’t afford the necessary hair care to keep your anime techno healthy there are many fans who will gladly take one in! they deserve just as much love as their pig brothers ♥️

It's a little guy! (:

I'm still tired, but this guy is finished now. He probably took about two hours to make, from sketch to final shading, over the course of three days. The process for creating the line work and coloring should still be up on my twitch for a while longer.

Critique is always welcome! (:
