This Jimbi sketch is one of the quick things I did and was the first page in my 2013 sketch book. I’ve decided to try something a little different by using a different program for coloring called ‘Paint Tools Sai’ Which has a lot of features that I simply could not find in Photoshop.
What started out as just a simple sketch evolved into completed pictures and 3-d artwork of a character I dubbed “Flay” the Hyena. I was toying with the concept of cel-shading and seeing if I can do shading using only material properties and no special texture UV maps. See the results for yourself. Nearing the end my 3-d program lightwave was making decent hand-colored pictures.
Desidra is a section where art fits one of the following categories.
Many of the art pieces items were done on an Amiga 500. The maximum color palette of about 32 colors. You could go up to 4096 colors in HAM-8 modes but it was problematic. During this time the software used was called “Digi-Paint” made by Electronic Arts. Resources were tight at the time. However, learning how to color during that era has taught people a level of restraint that may have been lost with modern painting programs.
Thanks for checking out the art here.
