Your drawing 'art' hurts? You should give it a hand. :)

Glad again you really liked it! It was a great learning experience and a joy to work on.

And that's it! Thank you again to the commisioner, and if you haven't seen it, check out the original Daggerheart map pieces on MarcosMaps' Bsky account! The original work has an incredible amount of detail and I improved my work from researching their maps for this project.

Concept to Result - Lastly, I like to show where my concept and note-taking phase started juxtaposed next to the black and white and colored versions of the map. For me, I live for the process as much as the result, and I like to see where my concepts and notes result. #conceptart #dnd #map (7/8)
A concept sketch of the map project early on. This is a rough sketch showing locations of mountains, major details as cities, rivers and so on for the finished results later. Many elements in the other posts are not visible or existent, as this is concept phase piece, with other elements being added later. Black and white finished map. Colored finished map.

Detail Shots B/W 2 - While I like the more subtle elements of the map in black and white, I also think the major details also shine as well without color too. (6/8)
A black and white detail shot of the previously shown fungal region of the forest. The details of some of the features are a little clearer with the color removed. A detail shot of a plant to a carnivorous plant region to the west side of the map, feature a body of carnivorous plants inspired by Rafflesia, Sundew, Venus Fly Traps, and Pitcher Plants with a dense forest of pine trees visible at the outskirts. While not drawn, I like to imagine there are bladderworts in the nearby lakes as well. A black and white detail shot of the drawn tree shown previously. A black and white detail shot of Haven.

Detail Shots B/W 1 - As much as I love color, it can be visually overwhelming at times and is used to highlight areas. In the black and white version of this map, I think certain more subtle details and the density of the forest stand out a bit better. (5/8)
Black and white detail shot of the map, this image shows part of the lake region with a large island raised into the sky by vines. Detail map shot of an island to the northwest of Haven's coast, featuring a large semi-circle coastal city at it's center. A detail map shot of a castle sitting next to a ridge with a waterfall going down the same cliffside. This was a feature from the original witherwild map made by MarcosMaps, I simply wanted to expand upon the region visually. A more minor detail shot of a castle/fortress seen to the south of Haven, with a bog and network of rivers further south of it. To the east lies a dense forest surrounding a village/town heading eastward.

Witherwild Custom #Map, Uncolored - Another goal of this map, being a commission was to try and make it similar to black/white maps commonly used in #tabletop games. While I love the map colored, I also love looking at it with the color removed to look at the details. (4/8)
A black and white version of the custom Witherwild Daggerheart map. The uncolored version shows a lot more of the detailed pattern of trees and the sheer density of the forest. The full colored map of the project again, placed in this post for comparison to the black and white.

Detail Shots 2 - One of my personal goals in this project was to improve the way I illustrate mountains, cliffs and water features like waterfalls. In the past I've used triangle shapes as a simple indicator; this map has more ridges, fault lines and a more popout look. (3/8)
A series of spiraling lakes and waterfalls with giant Lotus plants centering them. The water cascades down the waterfalls into the ocean to the south. Giant mountains lord over a tower-like settlement and forests below it. A path through the city leads around the mountain valleys northeastward, helping to add a 3D look to the mountains. A large mountain ridge line with a waterfalls leads down a canyon towards a coastal city. This is in the far south of Fanewick. A cave far to the north of Haven, with a river leading to the ocean in a delta. The mountain range here connects down to the main body that attaches to the main mountain range of Haven.

Detail Shots - The main task of this map was to create a custom sub-continent sized upscale of the Daggerheart map by MarcoMaps, with some custom additions for the commissioners private campaign they were running for implementation with #Roll20. The end result is this 5000x5000 monster. (2/8)
A detail shot of a large mushroom biome part of the Fanewick region of the Daggerheart campaign. The region contains gigantic fungal bodies, such as Lion's Mane, Veiled Lady and Shell Fungus. Detail shot of Haven, the principal city of the Witherwild campaign. A large snake-like form in a giant city nestled in a cleared out region of the forest, with a large river running by it leading southward. A gigantic Oak-like tree to the southwest of Fanewick. As a customization of this map, the tree was changed off a more pine/fir looking tree to the Oak-esq shape. The tree nestles the coastline, with it's roots running into the nearby sea and to a large waterfall nearby it. The tree sits in a large forest painted with autumnal colors in mind, yet the tree's colors are starkly spring like. A large cove region on the eastern part of the map, featuring more grotesque and rotting features such as a shark jaw and a corpse of a giant fish. The large plant-bodies of this area are more coral-like.

Quick update: Hat and Shoes! The puppet is more or less done, I have to just make the secondary assets to go with it and then I can animate. Also if you're curious what my main comp looks like, a screenshot of that as well. #adobeaftereffects #adobeae #puppetryanimation #vectors #puppetry
A screenshot from Adobe After Effects viewport: a preview of the hat vector design on my character, Olive. A screenshot of the After Effects viewport. I added in an additional part to the puppet to include shoes/feet articulation. A screenshot of the After Effects timeline, this is the all the assets in the main-comp, with their individual imported illustrator components and the pre-comps.

And below is an animation I did of the most recent iteration of this profile. This when I did it a couple years ago was me trying out hand drawn hair animation, which this current animation will be using more excessively. #originalcharacter #witch #animation

A little side tangent here; this character is one I use typically as a test to gauge for animation projects, and a reference on style improvements. Below are examples of a redone profile piece that I typically use to gauge. (1/2) #oldart #witch #originalcharacter
4 illustrations of the same base concept, a profile of my character olive, meant as a progression test to show stylistic improvement. These are different drawings from over the course of about 5-7 years.

Another update: preview of Olive with her hair rendered out; she also finally has eyelids and eyelashes! Unlike the rigid puppetry of the body, these are done as shape layers. Lots of shape layers. #adobeaftereffects #adobeae #puppetryanimation #puppetry #vectors #adobeillustrator
Female character sleeping, versus previous images, this has rendered out hair detail, created by vector shape layers in Adobe After Effects versus the rigid puppetry assets imported from Adobe Illustrator. A preview of the After Effects timeline from a pre-comp focusing on the eye animation. This has numerous shape layers over imported face puppetry assets.

Finished up the base puppet in Adobe Illustrator; I've now begun the import process over to After Effects. If you're curious what the asset file looks like layer wise, here it is.

It's a nightmare.

Image is a screenshot of Adobe Illustrator, showcasing the layer structure for a puppet. This is a raw asset file to be imported into Adobe After Effects for animation.

WIP of what I'm currently working on; almost finished on the Illustrator portion before I import to AE and start rigging. I've made a few old mistakes building it since it's been a while, but those get ironed out pretty quickly.

#adobeillustrator #outlines #aftereffects #rigging
A female character rendered out in Outlines view from Adobe Illustrator; she is in a hunched pose. The view showcases the joint work pre-built so it can be imported and rigged in Adobe After Effects for use in puppetry animation.

That's all for now. I will eventually do a short comic as a further test with one of the other major characters. Haven't fully thought how I'd want to make it yet (4/4). #kakomako #kakomakodevart #digitalart #comic #kakomakoart #sketch

Page Format - I don't have the original drawings of this page, but the digital sketch was eventually refined with the Evolve brush in Procreate. Daria's (the pink one) and Chroma (the blue one)'s places were shifted for continuity with other unshown pages (3/4). #kakomako #kakomakodevart #comic
A screenshot of a digital sketch page, without frames or text. A digital sketch page, rough in style, but has frames of the three characters, Kako, Daria, and Chroma.

Style Progression - I drew the actual page probably about a year ago now, the below are variants of attempts for me to find a style I liked. The current test page is a mixture of my current painting style on Procreate mimicking my vector style (2/4). #kakomako #kakomakodevart #sketch #kakomakoart
5 different progression shots of color style, focusing on Kako Mako. Sketch, Digital Sketch, Color Test 1, Color Test 2, and Final Result.
