Wowza, after months of not being able to work on this due to personal roadblocks, other projects, and life hell, its done- My Kill or Be Killed MAP part for Knoxyl! Id never done one of these before, and seeing its Muse, I immediately jumped on this because why not. Dusted out a nasty catboy I havent drawn in ages, and went straight for it.
Looking back, there is so much I can improve- Anatomy, movement, and SPECIALLY backgrounds, but there comes a time when perfectionism becomes a poison rather than a help, and you just gotta let go and be able to let yourself finish something, even if your skills aint up to the place you wanted them yet. I learnt so much though, and while it does show in quite a few places how much I struggled to get through mental health issues regarding drawing while doing this (Ex: those lines...) finnaly being able to overcome them after over a year of struggle means so much to me.
In the end, to not drag a description onto english major lenghths, heres what I learnt:
TVPaint has so many awesome tools to exploit but Ive yet to master
Backgrounds are awesome, I wish I had more time
Dont spend 2 months on lining.
Be kind to yourself- You aint gonna get shit done if you constantly degrade what you see infront of you
Oh, and also, Long Live Muse. Thanks for drawing me my next tat Matt youre a massive dork but a cool one.
