New art setup! (IMPORTANT UPDATE)
2 years ago
Howdy folks, many of you may be wondering where I've been, and why its been 9 months since I last posted any art. Here's an update on whats going on with the hog...
For the past few years I was using a pretty convoluted setup for making art because I wasn't invested in it and didn't want to shell out the money to buy any proper equipment, plus I preferred drawing traditionally due to the tactical feeling of a pencil in my hand and a piece of paper with proper friction and an eraser. When I first decided to try out digital art, I was using an old Ipad that was super slow, shitty touch-sensitive pens with no friction, and I really struggled to make anything I liked in a timely manner. I did get better at that process with time though as is evident by the quality difference between my scraps and my gallery. Recently though I decided it was time for an upgrade for not only my Ipad, but also computer. I bought a REAL drawing tablet (advertised as providing a similar feeling to traditional drawing) and a new computer that should make it a bit easier to work with larger file sizes as compared to the Ipad. I am going to be using Clip Studio Paint going forward and I don't have any experience with it so it may take some time to get used to, but I'm sure it will make it much easier for me to work on my art and be able to finish up & post the backlog of traditional sketches that I've been sitting on.
Speaking of old sketches... you can find some of them on my discord server in the WIP & Sneakpeeks channel, feel free to join using the link here: https://discord.gg/xVcGj83Gf (THIS LINK WILL EXPIRE 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THIS POST)
And for those of you that have been asking... I am going to briefly talk about COMMISSIONS. My new equipment didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I would still like to recoup my losses if possible, so I am going to consider opening commissions possibly soon (no promises). I still don't know how using my new setup will go and I would like to produce a few personal pieces as practice before I commit to opening commissions. (I don't want to end up sitting on someone's money while I spend months trying to work on their commission). If you would SERIOUSLY like to commission me in the coming weeks, I am going to open a LIMITED number of slots. IF I decide to go through with this decision I will provide more details on pricing as well as what I will and will not draw. Even though I am not open for commission at this moment, PLEASE reach out to me on here (notes or comments) or through discord if you would be interested in reserving a slot so that I can get a good idea of the demand.
That is all.. stay tuned for updates
Stay filthy

I actually only just learned the easier way to do Layer Masking (hopefully I remember it).
