SVS Virtual Studio MARCH 2023

[ArtMelC]

A while back I asked some SVS community members to help guess the personality of some of my caterpillar designs for a personality test app, and I am proud to say that the app has gone live, and it is mindblowing to see my illustrations live within something bigger!

Here's the link if you'd like to try the free test (free until 31 March) it was quite fun to do. Also fun for me to conceptualize each result type into illustration.

@ArtMelC They look amazing! Great work!!!!

[ArtMelC]

@Mia-Clarke Thank you!

@ArtMelC Very cool to see this project come together!

[Kristen Lango]

@LauraA Haha prego! E un po My partner is Sicilian and we go every year, so I am slowly slowly learning fingers crossed we can move there one day! Are you living in Italy?

[LauraA]

@ArtMelC What a cool idea! And they look great!

The link didn't work, but I was able to Google it and find it. I came out tenacity, which was interesting, but I guess I can see it. Funny, I don't feel like a workaholic!

@Mimi-Simon I love this! Can practically feel that ocean air! And I love that camera angle, with all that open sky.

[NickyDrew]

@LauraA Wow- your colors, lighting, and linework are stunning! They drew me into the world you made. The little details like the crow picking at a bone on the floor really add to the storytelling, too. And I like your character designs.

[NickyDrew]

@LauraA I actually really like the way you do their faces. Maybe it's because of all the anime I've watched, but I like the fairly naturalistic style paired with more stylized expressions. I often do the same thing with my characters for the same reason you do.

@Mimi-Simon I love this! The perspective is so good

[NickyDrew]

I just mailed off this bookmark that I made for a charity auction. It's run by a troop of Brownies in the UK and helps support a primary school in Zimbabwe. Always makes me happy to find ways to use my art for good things. Hopefully this one catches someone's eye at the auction!

[Mimi Simon]

@MiaNova thanks! the perspective was a doozy! I made thumbnails then delayed starting to draw for a couple months because I was afarid of drawing that down shot. But now that i'm finally tackling it i'm pretty happy with the result (assisted by lots of clip studio perspective rulers)

[Mimi Simon]

@NickyDrew Thank you! making the viewer able to feel the atmosphere in a piece is something I strive for.

Hi, everyone.

I started a webcomic on Valentine’s day, The MisAdventures of Winston about a french bulldog and his friends.

[crispalomino]

@Melissa_Bailey wonderful!

[crispalomino]

@Lisa-Clark do you know about Clip Studio Paint? One of the cool things about it is it has poseable models to use as drawing references. They just had an update and added a hand camera. You use your phone camera on your hand and it poses the hand model in CSP to match. So can’t find reference for a hand pose, make your own. That excited me.

@Chantal-Goetheer those are lovely, i bet the kids loved them!

After a dry spell of many months I dredged up an old concept this morning (again) to try solve the problem of why it just wasn't working even though I had already redone it once. I was partly motivated by the bunny boys' latest draw-over video, so I am offering many many thanks for putting that out for the world each month. It might be many months again until I finish it, but the point is that I sat my butt in the chair today to start Iteration 3. Hugs and/or solidarity to everyone who is finding it hard to do that, too.

Iteration 1:

Iteration 2:

Current Iteration:
