'Soldier' commission - step by step
🕑 Added 2017-09-14 20:42:03 +0000 UTC A difficult but enjoyable one, this.The client wanted a logo of sorts for a community he represents, and asked for very specific uniform, gear and posing. I learned a lot about why aspects of the uniform would be the way they are, for example the rolled up sleeves and strapping down of all lose material. It will definitely inform any future designs.
This is the only place that im sharing the full design with all his gear (aside from the client too of course!).
This was also my first project using Manga Studio. Ive had a copy of it for ages, but the UI seemed awkward and I never had time to figure it out. Thankfully I finally did because OH HELL is it great for drawing in. SO much faster and responsive, helps a ton. The main help is that it speeds up the 'flatting' stage by more than half, saving me hours per piece.
