Description

A vampire-like one.

Damn, Andy loves Halloween. It's his second favorite time of the year. 

For second year he was playing off first Halloween’s guys theme with Bax being “Big Grey Wolf ”, but with big twist mentioned above. Such Red riding hood will win over any wolf.
On side note, he would make cool "real" vampire.

Notes and references: 

  • It’s more about how Andy feels wearing his costume rather than literally his cape defying gravity.

  • I swear he found the most old-style looking building in Polis.

  • Illuminating lens make appearance once more.

  • Andy's is described through book as skinny/slim and tall. Baxtor even describes him as anorexic during their second meeting. (However, his perception is screwed by "norm" picked from people around him, where he heard being called "skinny" (and Bax is nowhere near that...), so no wonder Andy appears anorexic to him. In reality Amdy is just tall and skinny/slim, which I'm desperately trying to show through my art).

I  purposefully limited colors of background building for stylistic look. And . . . I DREW A BUILDING, I'm proud of myself even if it's mess up close.

Thank you very much!
It's magic of concentration and daily work. I have a timer that counts only time spent drawing (no idle time) and it's solid 6-8 hours per day on average. ^^
This drawing took 13 hours 50 minutes.

LoveAii In reply to Lidiash [2019-11-18 03:37:18 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome ^^

That's incredible. I envy you that you have that kind of concentration, also the timer is a great thing to do, especially if you're making an artwork for someone else and it's like paid per hour you spend on making it or so. 
Anyways your artpieces are awlays amazing, so keep up the good work! c:

God damn Andy is a hot piece of art.

And that castle/building /architecture is gorgeous. You've done so well!
Hopefully this will lighten that sense of dread you get when contemplating doing further buildings! This turned out wonderfully! Limited pallets can be so liberating at times! And this I bet was one of those times. <3

He makes and views himself that way, I'm just here to bring it to life.

Thank you very much!
I hope so too. Now I'm not so afraid to approach architecture.
And limits indeed can be liberating, because during trying to work around them artist can discover something they overlooked before.

Well he has an amazing creator to bring his glory to life. Let that ego shine! <3

Having that ability to drive through an obstacle that previously petrified you is amazing. Being able to then practice until it becomes a comfort is better.
I hope to see more buildings in your future! <3
This piece was a gorgeous compilation.

I'm speechless. This is so much my aesthetics <3<3<3
I see a soulmate when it comes to wearing a cape. They are amazing props in illustrations, me likey u__u
Congrats on the building. It's a simple, painting style, but looks pretty good. Did you use any photo as an inspiration?
Also the costume gives me nosebleed. This year i focused on giving my characters better clothes than a simple jacket with jeans and heavy boots, so i notice such stuff   
Can't stop melting over how those pants tightly wrap around his sword o/////o

Lidiash In reply to PrismoTheSmoke [2019-11-17 16:43:09 +0000 UTC]

I call this a win then! <3
Capes may not be practical, but...It gives that undeniable epic feeling with ease. n г n
Thank you! I used a inspiration photos for the towers (they ended up as mix of what  I picked from viewing photos and MSU architecture that sits in the back of my head), but main big building is pure imagination.

Aeaeae, thank you VERY much! I appreciate compliments to the outfit designs very much. ^^ And in this case that's a redesign of what I sketched in September, because I found it too dull, but now it's just right.
I understand that wish very well. Back in the day I was like "I have two main male characters...There are so little I can design for guys... " But nowadays it's like "their wardrobe must be a separate room..."


My trap worked!
And his sword would be totally seen in such pants.  < u < This time "I wear black (jeans/pants) to not draw attention to (it)" doesn't work. XD

PrismoTheSmoke In reply to Lidiash [2019-11-18 23:26:10 +0000 UTC]

True. I have one hoodie that is very long and not really practical (especially in art college), but i get +50 to majesty instantly when i wear it XD 
Oh my <3 Big respect for designing a building that looks like it can actually exist ^^ And i personally also use similar technique- find an inspiration and transform it into something new ;w;

This one is perfect u__u
Really XD With all their crossdressing soon they'll need a new building for all the clothes. I'm not complaining to be honest, it's nice to see them in new versions <3

Good job then ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But... when the sword demands battle, those pants may be too tight ;-; Bruh, you look like you didn't even try XD

Lidiash In reply to PrismoTheSmoke [2019-11-19 02:29:17 +0000 UTC]

That feeling is worth it. <3 I wear overcoat/jacket over shoulders for bonus points of majesty. X)
Ah, thank you! n _ n

In the book Baxtor has a separate 2 room wardrobe (but you wouldn't say so, by looking at him, because there is not much variation and he sticks to certain looks for long), while Andy's place is described as overloaded with clothing (while having one dresser drawer) and as winter came he changed already like 5 times because he wanted to impress and look extra nice for Baxtor (as they weren't yet romantic) . <3

Ikr? Baxtor always trolls Andy about it. XD

PrismoTheSmoke In reply to Lidiash [2019-11-19 23:48:39 +0000 UTC]

That must look epic   

Wooow i wouldn't say so. Andy is the one who looks like he bought a new outfit for every day O__O But i think i understand Bax, having a lot of clothes in similar style is quite my thing u__u
Ummm i don't reakky get people who dress fancy for such occassions. Is it to impress their partner? Or they just want the attention of people outside? It's a gray space to me xp

Oh no, they'll need to fight with their swords hidden O^O'
I just imagined Andy and Bax having a crotch fight while they both wear tight pants. You know, trying to bump into each other's "sword" ಠ_ಠ

Lidiash In reply to PrismoTheSmoke [2019-11-20 01:00:28 +0000 UTC]

Answer to why Bax has more is simple... He is miles richer than Andy. Maybe Andy would buy new outfit everyday, but he is unable to do so and his stick is to work around with what he has or look for ways to obtain clothing other way. Bax on the other hand can buy whatever, plus women around him (his mother, Deliah, his ex-gf) had tendency to "dress him up", a.k.a. buy clothes for him, so even if in the end he didn't like it, he still would put it in his wardrobe. dude himself also has certain taste, but as I said, he tends to stick to certain looks, so he is that fashionable and his only "fashion" weakness seem to be watches, he collects them on own will.

I think it's mix of both in case of Andy. On third "date" night he dressed the way Baxtor described as "goth f*ck boy", yet Andy genuinely seemed to enjoy his look even after such remark. But for irl people idk. X) 

On guard! XD
Hold on...That won't be a fight...That will slowly turn into foreplay. ಠ_ಠ

PrismoTheSmoke In reply to Lidiash [2019-11-23 22:38:53 +0000 UTC]

Ye, but still, if he didn't want new clothes would his wardrobe be so huge? Even with all those gifts? One thing is he CAN buy those stuff, the other is he WANTS to do so   

Okay, these two are very specific kind of guys XD

Did you mean a swordplay? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Lidiash In reply to PrismoTheSmoke [2019-11-24 02:53:38 +0000 UTC]

You don't understand extent at which women in his life felt the need to dress him up. It was soft control a- "you know, WE know better how you should look". As the result his wardrobe is cluttered with clothing he has, but doesn't wear and to highlight this situation, there is scene when his mother insists on his dressing up they way she wants, because she knows "what's more appropriate for the situation". 

They are. XD

Yeeeeees, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)=====><==== ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
