Comic illustration and process video of goth pinup, Manku Geal!

in dtube •  6 years ago  (edited)


Hiya, @dtube and Steemit! I’m sitting down to make this art post with a pounding migraine, but post it I shall. It’s not every day I’m able to share comic book illustration, so this is an occasion worthy of pushing through a headache.

I believe warm ups are an important part of every illustrator’s development and workflow. I’m working hard on @coppercoins with @ghostfish, and before I begin sketching pages for that comic, I’ve been warming up with an hour here and there on this piece. It’s a somewhat Frazetta inspired scene, based on my friend Manku Geal […of gothic Instagram fame].

I later realized that my while references poses in Pinterest […I work on Procreate with a 12.9” iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, Procreate and split view with all reference photos and art on my second display], the initial pose I referenced is by concept artist, Boris Dyatlov […not initially credited, but brought to my attention on social media], so full disclosure, his work influenced this work, and he’s an outstanding artist.

Probably one of my favorite things about this drawing is that it wasn’t for anything. It wasn’t part of a project, or page. It was just for fun, and those occasions are when I seem to do my best work. I’ve included a time lapse process video, and here is the final pencil sketch. If the day comes that I can find time to ink this work, I’ll be sure to share it here.

Thanks for reading, watching and supporting my art here on @dtube and Steemit. If you haven’t already, you can follow @coppercoins, the horror anthology I’m working on with @ghostfish. You can also visit our @fundition page at Fundition - Copper Coins is a graphic novel horror anthology!

Wow! Awesome, beautiful, powerful, delicious... I just love every single detail of this piece of art. She looks so sexy and powerful. She's the one in charge. The skulls look pretty awesome too. It's perfect!

super cool! I hope to see it fully inked someday!

a very wonderful comics my friend,beautiful art @kommienezuspadt

Hello @kommienezuspadt, how are u doing? It seems that you are very skilled at painting your comic artwork. The results look amazing. Maybe by painting you can get rid of your headaches, friend. You only need a more relaxed life. When I was little I like to read comics ..comics can indeed evoke the spirit of life and the spirit to fantasize. Have a nice day, sir.

I love this so much, Lars :) The pose might come from your references but I think you made it your own with this piece, and as usual, your line art!!!!!! YOUR LINE ART IS SO DELICIOUS I CAN JUST NOM THEM WITH MY EYES * ___ *

Love the shading and the detailing, very much. The skulls are so fun-seeming to draw and I kinda sorta want to see this inked, and hopefully coloured * ____ *

Hope your migraine will subside soon . __ . It is such a rarity to see you post your artwork and every time you do so, it is such a treat to my eyes :)

I have added both @coppercoins and @ghostfish to my follows now :D And I'm a noob at Fundition, but I think I backed it and sent it some steems???? If I didn't let me know and I will try again XD;;;; Sorry for being such a noob and a klutz with technology :3

ANYWAY!

Very awesome project, Lars !!! I look forward to seeing this become a reality ! :D :D :D

You are killer! I am enjoying so much your drawings and your huge imagination. That is something I respect most at good artist, huge imagination, and you have one.
Not to mention your delicate lines. It's always true treasure to see someone mastering good drawing.

I like it!

Wow this is surely gothic, and to really imagine how long you took on just the tinniest of details is More than baffling, I mean the videoed process on dtube is so detailing and my favourite part was when you started putting in the deep line sketches to places like the chain and the skull it is definitely amazing wow and the fact that it's not for a project is even more baffling.
I see why you have a headache hahaha,
Boris Dyatlov ? Wow I didn't know him but well since he inspired this, I may check him out

Excellent work! I agree, its the off the cuff stuff and accidents that make the best work. When it flows, you know you're onto something. Be interesting to see what you guys come up with, I'll be checking link.

This art looks very interesting, I hope you do very well in that work and we can see more. My respects.

I suspect that in the picture most of the skulls of male victims :)

so cool

You have no clue how much I love this!!!🖤💎🖤

Yes, I agree with you, when you work on personal projects that are just for fun or therapy as you do many times, I think you get a great result. It is something just for you and you decide what you want to do, so there is more freedom.

The final result is fantastic! The atmosphere that you have created this evil but sexy girl (which is a great combination and represents much the style of Manku) I love it! the crow in the cage, the skulls, the candlesticks and so many details that you have placed add up and become a great piece. But being able to see the process of this drawing is really pleasant and exciting.

Your photos are great, but see you drawing is even more, just read you feel the emosion you have for your great passion, that even the migraine can prevent your publication.

Greetings @kommienezuspadt and I hope your head is better.:)
