Come out of your shell

Phew guys,

Got too much work lately, that's why I am not that often post art anymore.
But today I finally finished my new drawing.
To be honest I didn't plan to color it digitally. I prepared this drawing for my watercolor course. But when I started this course the amount of things to prepare to ONLY START the drawing was insane. Brushes, watercolors, watercolor paper, sponge to wipe the water from watercolor paper, wooden board, light board to copy sketches and this list just does not end... Jeez F Krist, I just want to f color the drawing, I don't want to launch a f rocket to Mars. Anyway I didn't have enough patience for this crap and I sent this course to the bin even without starting it.
So :)
Here we are again with a good old friend of mine Photoshop. 
I think it turned out quite nice, no?




And the sketch is also there.

Ex Ghost Girlfriend

New comics from me.

A short guide of how to get rid of your annoying ex ghost girlfriend.
I don't think many of you have one, but in case you have - you know what to do.
P.S. I don't think he is actually 18 years old...



Just a little reminder.
Everything I draw - I first draw by hand on paper.

Music response

My new artwork is done.

I tried to do something interesting with the lighting.






Here is the pencil sketch from my last drawing. You can see some things have changed since then.
No bookshelf and no arm.
The arm was a bit weird when I started to put colors on it. It was taking too much attention from "what is really important".
Even when I was making the arm really dark, it was still looking weird. I even took a couple of photos of my wife to check if it's possible to put the arm like this with that angle. And it's not possible.
So the decision was just to remove it.
The same I did with the bookshelf.
I decided to put on character wings and It was just not looking good together with the bookshelf, so I removed it.
That's pretty much it, the rest stays as it is.





A little bit of drawing process

Have you seen a dolphin

My new art is here, fellas.

As usual I drew it in the traditional way and then colored in photoshop.
The story? What story?
Ah, the story about rhino.
Well, he arrives on the bugs planet... wait, it was in Starship Troopers. Hmm, then he was sent to the past to save the life of a boy... seriously? It's Terminator.
Ok-ok, let me think.
Emmm, he is a pet detective and looking for a missing dolphin. Yes, in a swamp, so what?

And this is the version before the colors were applied

Jurassic Wool

Here is the new model I created in Blender. The focus was more on the textures, that's why the character and surrounding looks quite minimalistic.




And the sketch I created. In the 3d model I reduced the amount of needles because it was dragging too much unnecessary attention.





Some 3D images from different angles too.

Ferris wheel

Just finished with the new animation. Well, what can I say?

The fire was done frame by frame, the same for the clown eyes. All the rest was done in After Effects. Maybe it looks a bit simple but the idea was to focus on fire, the rest is just fun surroundings.

l

And this is how it started

Swan playing violin remake

I fixed my old drawing after receiving a comment that the violin didn't look like a violin. Now it looks like a violin... I hope

Paper planes remake

I fixed a little bit of this drawing I made 2 years ago.


I didn't change much, but the foot was killing me and I lost my sleep. After realising it cannot be this way, I decided to change it.
And yes I cheated!
Instead of drawing the foot according to the laws of human anatomy - I just cutted this part. Haha, whatcha gonna do about it? Right, nothing...
Also here and there I improved some stuff, I made her hands a bit bigger, I added this fluffy thing on her sweater. So I think it looks much better now. I really do.







4242

Just a friendly reminder - I drew it with a pencil first.
And If you look at this sketch long enough - you begin asking yourself who is this brave person who gave me an art diploma? I mean come on, even first course newbies draw human anatomy better...

Road Roller Grandma

 Finally I finished to draw this page...

Sorry it took me some time. You know, family and stuff.
So meet the new crime fighter Road Roller Granny. It's something like Tank Girl, but much much much older.
I mean why not? I already see a catchy slogan on a cover "She doesn't have much time left, so she uses it to the fullest" or "She is never in a hurry, but somehow the crime is always punished".
Tell me what you think?



And if you didn't know I always draw it by pencil first

Pink is the Perfect Colour

Just finished new artwork.
The travellers are tired after the long way. They take a short break before continuing their journey.
Where do they go?
They are going where destiny will send them, because every journey starts from the... pfff, come on!! Of course the guy brings that pig to the slaughter house. Did you see this pig? No really, did you see this? It's obviously about time, no?
Yeah journey, right...


And here is how it started. At first hands were placed differently. But during the coloring process I kinda stopped liking it and changed them.

Flowers on the head

 New art. While I was creating this piece I constantly was listening to the Rowboat song by Coal Chamber. So I kinda hate it now. The band I love, the song I hate... and here is the lyrics part which describes this visual.

...Love is in the air
Blinding me with smoke
You are the air I breathe
When I choke...
Yeah, I know the better fit will be I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee). But no! I'm the artist, I decide, ok?



And yes it was drawn by hand first. With the pencil I mean. My hand was holding the pencil.

Bomjara

Aaaand the new art piece is finished.

What's the story, bro?
The story is about a mutated homeless family who live in an industrial city filled with toxic waste and rats. Well, classic. However they need to live and eat. Literally whatever they can.
If it would be a series, it would be in Toxic Avenger style. I remember watching it as a kid and it broke me mentally. But today of course all special effects from that movie look funny.



o
And the pencil sketch. If it's important - it was drawn on two separate A4 papers and put together by using digital technologies (no AI). Thank you, I hope you all have a wonderful day

Cold and Nice

 Phew! That was hard...

I rendered frame by frame this penguin turning, because only with Cycles Engine the textures looked good enough.
Then I put it all together with After Effects and added some snow.
Oh yeah, and the model was done in Blender.

The adventures of Izya Drek

The story for this comics was written by my brother, I made the art. Let's say I adapted the art a bit to my personal preferences, but the vibe stays the same as in the story ;)

I post his story on original language:

Приключения Изи Дрека

Это была четвертая Изина охота, но привыкнуть к окружающему пейзажу было невозможно. Белорыжие, абсолютно ровные столбы изгибались и переплетались на высоте двух-трёх  ростов, образуя практически сплошной полог, но при этом пропуская достаточно света. Босые ноги приятно чувствовали горячее тепло от розоватой и немного поддатливой поверхности. Видимость не превышала нескольких метров, поэтому ориентироваться приходилось на слух и компас. Времени было предостаточно, наручные временники показывали два часа до обращения.

Надо себе боевую кличку придумать, может Изя-богомол!? Не, Изя-варвар!? Тоже не то....

Внезапно слева зашуршало, а через долю секунды плотное чёрное тело сбило Изю с ног и исчезло между стволами ..

Ялла!!!, бен зона, просыпаемся! - выругался Изя, поднимаясь и прихрамывая. Блохи не нападали на людей, но за счёт скорости и массивности могли нанести серьезные травмы мечтающим "турЫстам"!!!!!

Пора начинать, подумал он, доставая меч и сворачивая в ту же сторону, куда скрылась блоха. Минут через пять ему попались несколько громадных черных яиц, которые он с удовольствием располовинил сверкающим  свежезаточенным мечом! Да уж, это вам не с толкинистами палками стучать, весело подумал Изя. А вот и ты, тварь - увидел Изя блоху.  Та увлеченно вгрызалась в поверхность всего лишь в нескольких метрах от него. Не замедляясь ни на секунду Изя взмахнул мечом и с чавкающим звуком развалил блоху надвое. И едва увернулся от густо брызнувшей в разные стороны крови. Ходить мокрым и липким то ещё удовольствие. Ху из а мастер, всплыла фраза из какого то оооочень давнего боевика, Ай эм!))))

Один ноль в нашу пользу! )

В течении следующего часа он зарубил ещё четырех блох, причем одна была чуть ли не с него размером и дважды сбивала его с ног, стремительно разворачиваясь и прыгая, прежде чем он удачно не снёс ей здоровенную башку!

Адреналин кипел, защитный комбез промок насквозь, и тут тренькнули временники. Ужееее, разочарованно подумал Изя. Время на охоте бежало стремительно.

Пять, четыре, три, два.... На один он подпрыгнул, краем глаза скорее ощутил, нежели заметил смену пространства вокруг. В следующий миг он стоял, как был с окровавленным мечом, над толстым бело-рыжим котом, в буйной шерсти которого он и  сражался  доблестно последние два часа )))))

Надо бы следующий раз взять сафари в муравейнике, подумал Изя, но туда ходили только группами, да и стоило это в разы дороже....



And here is the sketched version as usual

A Plug Tale

My new drawing. Actually in the beginning I wanted to go for a colored version. But I got so messed up with the colors that the best was to turn everything in black and white. But I still think the result is quite ok.

If anyone is interested, here is the sketch too ;)

Go to South Africa 2023

 I changed my old drawing from 2012.


https://www.deviantart.com/alexlandish/art/Go-to-South-Africa-328282922


I quite like the old version, but the black spots on the frog were a bit too hard, so I decided to lighten them up. Also now you can see better the eye of the frog.

And this is the pencilled version before coloring

Zombie destroyer

Phew, I just finished this 3D model! It was tough exercise. I could go even more in details and to model the cabin inside, but at a certain moment I got tired)) And also I put the main focus here on the weapons, so I guess the mission is accomplished.





Here are some static images of the 3D model

Shilo Rap Mashina

Just finished new art. I made a drawing of Shilo - the rap singer from the band Krovostok.


"Верь в лучшее, жизнь - это танец под присмотром чуткого Бога.

Повторяй эту поебень чаще, повторяй, даже если звучит убого.

Думай позитивно, стакан всегда наполовину полон, всегда.

Только не думай что в стакане. Думай, что в стакане вода..."


Кровосток




Here is how the drawing was look like before it was colored and slightly modified

Sunday night drink remake

Remake on my previous drawing

https://www.deviantart.com/alexlandish/art/Sunday-night-drink-669935095


I kinda "missed the life" in the old version, so I decided to add more contrast and make a vibrant anatomy. Hope it worked.

Happy Lab

The image I created for https://www.instagram.com/happy.hawthorne/

The client took a different version, but I prefer this one.

It's not the first time I work with this band and every time I am extremely excited about the project they give. It's always a lot of fun to work with them.

Check out their song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT254bUQFJM
