Thought I’d try and do a style-swap with this redraw some Sora artwork in a cell-shaded style.

October 1st-5th (Day 274-279)

First piece with my new (and reduced) workflow. Only one layer for all the lines and it’s in vector format now. Some growing pains to get through, but it felt like I got this finished much quicker!

Aketchi is my usual method, Morgana is a super basic version with like six layers, and Ryuji/Joker are somewhere in between.

September 26th-30th (Day 268-272)

A whole load of art these past few days as I’ve been playing around with different workflows to help speed up some of the busy work.

Has anyone done this yet?

I'm enjoying experimenting with these thicker lines and mixing cell shading with gradients as a highlight. This one's a bit more cartoony than the reference, but I think it came out well.

My layers were a mess by the end of this. I'm gonna rethink my rigid folder setup for when loads of stuff in the frame.

Got lazy with the background, but I'm pretty happy with how the clothing turned out on this one.

Holo's posing really messed with my usual workflow, but it's something to think about going forward. Really liked how this one came out and got to play around some different lighting.

August 23rd-26th (Day 234-237)

This one was a quick test to see if I could cut down on the steps needed for each piece. I usually do a rough & detailed sketch before my lines, but here I tided up and coloured the sketch layer.

Really likes how the lines turned out on this one and adding that width to the 'wobbly' Mob Psycho art style.

August 14th-18th (Day 225-229)

This was going to be my backup pottery design. The workflow and layer management when working in limited colours was a good exercise.

See if you can spot the Easter Egg in this one too.

August 8th-13th (Day 219-224)

An odd bonus piece, but something I made for a pottery painting session. I tried to use a limited colour range and only using oil brush strokes to practice how it'll come together practically.

Doing studies with multiple people in takes so much more time 🫠. But at least swapping in the transformed versions of Kyo and Yuki helped to speed this one up a bit.
