Fanart Friday: Nadia and Fish
| 09 October 2009
Nadia: A Real American Hero.
TGIF, it's Fanart Friday! Today, it's Nadia, doing what everyone does in October: go screw around with fish in their natural habitat! When I was a young kid, and my mom would take me to the asian supermarket, I'd take the opportunity to go over to the seafood section, take the clamps and beat on the still living crabs with them. That has absolutely no relevance to this picture, but I just feel that everyone who follows my work should know: I've been a renegade ever since I was a bastard child. And we're still rockin' the rebel ways with The SITE!
That's your policy, NOT MINE!
So anyway, back to the picture at hand. Trying something new with the camera, by half submerging it underwater. It's not really effective with just solid black and white lineart, but when it gets colored, I have the full powers of Adobe behind me, so I'm confident that the vision will shine through. No background in the sky, not because I'm lazy or anything, but I always feel that painted, puffy, happy clouds always comes out better then solid black outline clouds. Or maybe I'm just not doing it right, who knows. Drawing is hard.
It's "dignity!"
When it came to doing Nadia, the original idea was to have her splashing out oft he water. However, I felt that it was too similar to the EVA from last Friday's piece. So, after watching "The Fall," I was inspired to try an effect with the camera lens coming up through the water. I think it came out pretty good in the lineart, but you're going to have to bring it back next time to see the digitals on the colors. This is "The Blue Baller," PHN, signing off!
