Unrelated - Every time I see an Indycar I am reminded that their cockpit solution just looks "right". I know F1 rejected closed/semi-closed cockpits, but tech has progressed and the semi-closed design looks so much mroe modern and technical.
F1 halos look like 1960s aero to me. 😆

Finished my semi-annual, Halloween Season "everything" run of Bloodborne a couple of days late, but the Hunt, it is done!
First time I have ever completed a run using shadPS4 emulation. There were a few glitches, maybe a handful of crashes, but the game plays fantastically!
We have ascended! 🦑

It is just me, or do the Hungarian motoGP trophies look like fancy waste baskets in post-race press conference? 😆

Tire supply limitations do not save teams any meaningful amount of money and only add layers of completely unnecessary complication to race weekends.

I think I have finally figured out what I want to do with the lighting on this one. Had to go back to base pencils, but will start experimenting with CSP ink brushes when time allows.

Obvious WIP - Still struggling through this fanart Guts. Not sure about the composition, not sure about the perspective, especially re: the sword, really not sure of anything, but still coming back to touch this one once in a while. Any other amateurs out there sharing their WIP struggles?

The ancient loch, identifying itself only as The Purple Hand, its name having been long forgotten, the magic used to sustain rasps bitter, spittle soaked lies as its bespectacled eyes shining out of the lurid blackness of its absent heart.
Digging up some old stuff - sketch done in ArtRage 6.

Our guy Guys doing Guys things while Schierke does her best to bring him back to his better self once again. Sketch I’m working on in Procreate. Can’t explain why, but sometimes Procreate just feels more natural and familiar than CSP, despite CSP having more powerful tools.

More WIP, because i desperately need practice, repetitions and a rhythm. Posemaniacs-CSP Wolvie from DP & Wolverine. Hope everyone who stumbles on this is having as good a day as they can. Take care of yourselves and your people. We’re all we’ve got!

More practice posemaniacs-CSP WIP blue lines of the Hulk thunderclapping a bad guy just to try and stay in a rhythm. The world is a terrifying place and it feels like scribbling is the only way to vent some of that bad energy.

Early WIP: Working toward DIY comics. Not sure this is good, bad, promising or sad. Trying to get serious about drawing by downloading posemaniac poses and trying to turn them into scenes, using CSP. This is standard pencil and G-pen. Not sure it reads She-Hulk more than it reads “big muscle mommy”.

Self-portrait as a high insight, slightly blood drunk hoonter…WIP. Would love to get recommendations for a can’t-miss CSP G-pen inking tutorial. I’ve been bouncing around YT and CSP’s tuts but feel like I’m regressing, rather than making good progress!! 🤣

From Grok’s “Draw me/as a super hero” preset prompt. Makes total sense. The resemblance is uncanny.
