Original Title - Edkaarth 7 - Cyber Voodo Necromancer

B T W - just because I post AI, it doesn't mean that I cannot draw. Rest assured though that on AI pics I never have and won't tell crap like "I use secret algorithms", "My special whatever" or the frak. But, supposing I want something different for AI, yes, I can feed it on my own, but if I do, course won't post here.
Plus , on thing is one thing, another thing, a very other thing.
I began that thing above while being drunk, continued while drunk, and not really ended but drunk.
It was not scanned from anything. I made digitally. On gimp and with a wacom. So, dont compare me with those folks which draw those super great sketches on paper - although I can too, but lazy me won't do.
The idea there was like an UI for an RPG game, pick your face, your legs, arms, etc. hehe In the beginning it was just a sketch for a cybervoodoomancer, but since drunk, lost the focus and you see what happened.
I like it, because TO ME, I can see the trajectory, the many steps, choices... I went back and forth many times.

When drawing sketches sometimes - or many - I like to use darker backgrounds - for it reminds me of blackboards. And I can use sort of "electric" colors, which makes it easier for me to see the whole thing, and as the whole sketch concept, It gives me more freedom. Also, when afterwards colouring from a darker background, I feel like I get rid of the illusion a white or lighter one would bring when picking colours. That is specially helpful when creating transparencies. "Why don't going straight with a transparent background then?" For I don't like, and it distracts me. Not to mention that darker backgrounds help you see parts you where supposed to work with plain white and closer shades - like eyes, as you are always reminded that such portion is missing.

Another reason is - and that is not related to the original dark background only - that I like darker layers is to work with layer filtering, so that darker one give me the results I want - and instantly, without having to manipulate hue/chroma/whatever.

Took the chance to draw some DA challenges / tutorials but most of them as mini-pixels.

Made on Gimp with Intuos. Original dimensions 5000xSomething. And details (like voodoo themed mini-heads pendant would be easier to spot, but then, after downsizing, I judge it better this smaller, as those details would match, if any, watchers curiosity) There are a lot of tiny details. Some are sketchy and sort-a child like not so on purpose, but for being tired and or drunk and or wanting to move on quickly to another idea which had just popped in by the moment. Other like those pixel badges I really took care and spent time on composing and making them. They ended up looking nice icons. And in order for them to look better if dimensions were bigger, I think I should have to draw them on pixel editors like Asesprite. Which is something I should return to, once in a while.

Done a micro-eats-a-lemon but then noticed it's not badge related, won't tag it.

Note: Dang it! Totally forgot about that pikachu :3
