VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: 2001 fantasy RPG edition!
🕑 Added 2022-05-18 13:00:06 +0000 UTCIn a theme relevant to my development of a new comic pitch that merges older Patreon fantasy RPG(-ish) projects Party of Two and Hushed Half-Elf, here are a quartet of Vintage Con Sketches from 2000-2001 based on commissioners' FRPG characters.
Long-time Patrons—or deep divers into my archives, at least—might recognize the first image in the gallery above, as I'm fairly sure that I've posted this Ryan-Kinnaird-colored piece before:
...but I'm much more certain that I haven't posted the original B&W version of the sketch before, as I just now scanned it outta my ring binder of 2001-era con sketches. (Pardon the reduced quality, though, as the image was scanned from a photocopy of the original sketch).
Note how good a job Ryan did of getting rid of my shading on her face and body!
The rest of the pieces are pretty straightforward and speak for themselves, I think.
And now, back to my daily hour of humiliating myself on the ol' Cintiq, folks! I'm limiting myself to only a hour of practice per day with the PC version of Clip Studio Paint because, TBH, that's about as much discouragement and demoralization as I can tolerate on a daily basis.
I can draw fairly decently on the iPad version of CSP, but I'm taken aback by how mind-bogglingly different drawing—well, attempting to draw—on my expensive Cintiq is proving to be. Feels like a completely separate medium, in fact! Wellp, I'll keep grinding whilst telling myself that thousands of other artists have figured this s**t out, so I can probably do so too. (Well, probably.)
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Not sure, TBH again! I'm definitely doing more posts than just M/W/F to close out the month of May, so that's randomized things even more than usual.

I also find my Clip Studio drawings on the iPad much more appealing than on the Cintiq. My studio mate has pretty much abandoned drawing on his Cintiq in favor of the iPad. Plus, you can take your iPad anywhere. Good luck, my friend!
