insta notes:

forgot what it's like to hate Instagram cropping :>

anyways joined an art discord for critique n stuff and they had a ~redraw an old art piece thing~ so this is that.

2nd slide is the old one - ~ April 7 2020

3rd slide is a ~30min quick sketch of what itd be like if I hadn't had the idea of changing the whole drawing 4 fun

the old drawing was supposed to be a personified candy (nerds) but I didnt wanna do that that

I acc deleted the sketch layers 😥😣

Kill la Kill | Nui Harime

Feb 29 2021 - Mar 12 2021

.kra notes:

Krita 4.4.2

Lighting, colour palette, foreshortening

Stupid hair

Soft shading - cell shading erased w airbrush

so many clipping layers + groups

supposed to be moonlit. doesn't really read that well

^^(could've gone for a more downwards red/orange lighting 4 the fire)

took overall less time than the mako (i think)

mako - getting used to krita and digital art in general

nui - further experimenting

bg "thing" and signature taken from mako

more practice on lighting for metal (scissors)

^copied the way it's done in the anime

The scissors are p inconsistently drawn in the anime so not v accurate here

bg trees - "fuck" textured brush #1

4 ref images

insta notes:

played w soft shading. didnt plan on it but the light is sppsd to be from the moon so it was me tryna make it read better

did nui from the flashback cos I like the color palette n why not

I have problems w this drawing being too busy, so I might leave it alone 4 a while n fix it later. details r getting lost - not enough contrast.

p happy w it. kinda on the fence tho

Castle kill redraw

March 12, 2021

insta notes:

ayo the whole drawing can't fit in the cropping 😎

redraw of the second pic. og was done sometime in 2016

slide 7 was the hair before I realised that it's at the wrong angle

the skull is kinda out of place, proportionately inconsistent, and looks horrible if mirrored, but I love it.

this was my first choice for the discord thing but they specified that the drawing had to be from 2020.

Pen Case Assignment | Lid

January 15, 2021 - ~January 20, 2021

This is not social commentary, it's just a funny statement.

Engraved aluminum pen case lid I did in gr10 manufacturing. Didn't actually CNC machine it myself because class was online cos covid, but I toolpathed everything. The beginning of my CNC escapades.

I knew I wanted to do a dragon because that's a classic for me, but then I needed more stuff to fill the space. Me and my family were just messing around one night trying to think of something to put on it. We eventually settled on 'Vaccines are now being administered by babies' because we thought that was funny.

My shop teacher engraved all of these projects on the google meet, but for mine he did it after class because he didn't want to possibly offend someone lmao 😭.
