The Glitch Mob - A Dream Within A Dream

aka where will you be when the acid kicks in
wut.

I swear this isn't a suicide attempt hahahaa. I decided to give another MTT adoptables' round a go (because I have some pretty awesome ideas for a new MTT chara) with 's pretty thing Hydra ;; I'm simply in love with his design okay?
I basically worked on this for 2 whole days. Literally. Started sketching right away when I saw the new sheet up and finished right before posting. I'm just so sick of my low-quality art when I know I'm capable of way more. Recently when I look back at my gallery I just want to delete everything. Ughh...
*ahem* Sorry for the little rant.
Anyways, challenged myself here in 2 ways: There's only one layer with shading and bg is colored with only 4 colors. I seriously need to fix up my cel-shading hhhhh erasing out the highlights was quite time consuming. Not to mention erasing some windows...

So yes, I worked really hard on this and pushed my limits. I can say I'm satisfied with this because it turned out exactly the way I wanted.

Hope you like it!

EDIT: Here's a small tutorial I made about this in case you're interested

Well, drawing one and designing one are completley different things :/ I was lucky that I got Mojito's design done so fast but I'm currently out of ideas for my new guy.

Thats normal situatuation)
You know,i was creating markings for my Triade(my fury old version) were made with help of 30 Seconds To mars music,the one i`m working on,which is on my avatar right now,i made with hep of Mumford&Sons music.

I meant,it`s hard to create something really unique,and different from other thing you`ve made.Music helps me with it)Hope,it`ll help you too)

Trinanigans In reply to Prototype-LQ [2015-03-05 18:19:56 +0000 UTC]

I basically listen to music all the time when I'm at home. Music inspires me to draw my main characters but not when it comes to creating designs.

Idk, I'm just not rushing with it. I have his personality and bio 75% developed but I can't visualize him :/ All I know is that he's going to be black-based and male MTT. I guess I'll work his design out when I'm having the spring break and have time to concentrate.

How did you get such perfectly lined squares in paint tool SAI? Was it by using a linework layer?

XD funny because I was listening to a cover of "skyfall" when this piece popped up and it fits it really well. How long did all those WINDOWS take you?

Trinanigans In reply to Kabudragon [2015-02-03 18:56:39 +0000 UTC]

Some people say there are no coincidences

Windows? Oh, they didn't take long, only erasing some out took hella time. I had them done on one layer, I copied it as much as I needed, then transformed a bit to fit the building and then oh the quality time with lil' eraser...

Thank you very much!

P.S. Saw your comment under the adoptables' sheet. Trust me, I've tried several times before and nothing. I gave up because I saw I don't have enough creativity to write mindblowing bio for a character with such a short time. My skills were... well, somewhere where the Sun doesn't shine would be polite to say... anyway, here I am again. After months I've practiced MTT anatomy, improved with digital art and discovered it's possibilities. Don't take previous failures as a reason to give up, take them as chances to practice and one day you'll see how all the hard work pays off Trust me, don't let yourself down because of it. If you truly want something then dedication and willpower will surely get you there.
If you need some help or tips with MTT anatomy then I'd love to help, just let me know if you want something to take as your base and with time build your own style out of it with knowledge and skills
