AER crowd character: DJ Kubby
So I started drawing, and I got carried away with a girl with a short skirt and looooooooooong jacket, and I love drawing long unrestrained hair, and then there was pink. Soooooo muuuuuuuuch pink. But my shadow layer was on multiply and it was making everything look so desaturated, I wanted it to be a little bit more vibrant so switched it to an overlay. Ack! Be careful what you wish for!
AER crowd character: BOOM!
The relentlessly hilarious @meesterboom requested a Dragonkin with a mohawk, no colour preference. It was so, so very difficult not to give him a hot pink mohawk. Gave him an extra long ratty but no tattoos as I’m not sure if he’s a Tribe Flyer or not. If he is I think one of the tattoos is going to be blue stripes like in Braveheart: [missing image] Sketchy for approval.
AER crowd character: Ninjaroo
Ninjaroo is thoroughly going to be his official nym. I’ve recently decided to open my $10 Patreon tier to people on steem who regularly interact with me or are on the Team Australia and Be Awesome Discord channels. @aussieninja asked to be a ninja kangaroo, which meant lithe agile little gray wallaby. All ninjas wear headbands with medallions right? XD The ninja balaclava is down around his neck for the moment because I wanted to draw his face (I did originally have it up like he probably would do when playing parkour chasey).
85% beaver - phelimint
So @phelimint once posted an old Tinder photo and it went a little bit viral in the #teamaustralia community. From memory he had spiky hair and was wearing suspenders and holding a chainsaw. Chainsaw -> lumberjack -> beavers -> this. I swear it was perfectly logical at the time. Foreshortening is forever my sworn nemesis.

Come on in, the water's fine! :D
Special request for @kubbyelizabeth! And a reminder of what happens when fyn gets carried away with ideas ;D I’ve done progblogs for this one so just included detail shots, though can do the whole shebang in one if that’s what people want. Additionally there was supposed to be a process video for this but my computer crashed while I was recording one of the sessions which corrupted that video so I spat it and gave up on that one.
Water's Fine progblog #3
Last progblog I’d finished light and shadow 1. I hoped I could get light and shadow 2 done in one session. I did get there eventually XD Light and shadow 3 should theoretically go a little bit quicker as they’re kind of emphasis layers. I’ll decide then whether they’re high enough to do caustics, at this stage I’m likely to bail as doing caustics on this many characters feels a little bit daunting.
Water's Fine progblog #2
Last progblog I was starting to work on patterning the merminnows with help from my frenemy Google Image Search (for minnow and danio, I didn’t even know what a danio was until I started searching, but they are tiny and have interesting patterns). After about a million billion trillion years, the flats got done: And then about that again, light and shadow 1: Shadow1 was finished and light1 started during stream o’clock, and I started on shadow2 later on.
Water's Fine progblog #1
Got this request on Discord from @kubbyelizabeth: Happy to help out a steemate where I can, I agreed and asked her what she would like me to draw. The answer: and then when I asked when she needed it by, it was along the lines of “whenever it’s done”. Easiest client in the universe to work for! XD Steemit has this analogy with the steempower, where the plentiful new accounts with not much power (such as yours truly) are referred to as “minnows”, holders of more SP are called “dolphins” and so of course the people with stonking huge wallets are “whales”.steem upgoat comment footer process
I was going to make a comment footer anyway (which turned out to be bigger than I thought on busy, couldn’t get Krita to resize it without things going stupid though) and decided to make a process video purely for testing out dtube and bitchute. DTube was a bit of a problem as I couldn’t figure out how to get it to recognise that I have a local ipfs node.
