I’m making two Halloween pictures this year. The only thing that really needs to be done now is shading for both pics. I really wanted to get them out last Saturday, but that clearly didn’t happen.

Anyways, stay tuned. I plan on sending them out on Halloween afternoon at the latest.

Nuts. Just realized: I was so fixated on Elly’s birthmark that I didn’t morph August’s birthmark with her mouth movements…….oh well. Should mind next time.

Hey. Egandaworks here. So I ran into some time constraints, which kinda forced me to water down my project. Normally I make the deadline, but I regret to say that this will not be the case.

I crafted a picture set, which is really a mix of dialogue and minor gesture tweaks (a pale display compared to the original vision I had, which would have had more flamboyant gestures). I would much rather unveil the whole thing than dole out the set piece by piece.

I would much appreciate your patience in this matter.

I took a second look at the birthday pic set I posted and had a rather interesting epiphany:

AUG31

AUGEL

OGLE

My first hentai OC’s birth date is apparently a sex pun. Welp, fuck me, then.

Still can’t believe I made the deadline. The bowl and torso placements are a little iffy, but overall, I’d say the end result’s not too shabby.

One day left.

Didn’t invest as much time today on the project as I did yesterday. The table design, though tricky, was manageable. Shading work was somewhat tedious, particularly around the fingers. I have started on the background and plan on crafting it as a water color/digital paint hybrid similar with the last project–a lot easier than it sounds if you actually know from the get-go what you want. Despite the somewhat intimidating appearance of the project assets having yet to be consolidated, the remaining tasks and tweaks are straightforward and simplistic. The only things really left to do are to finish the background (~1 hour), finish August’s and Elly’s shading (~1-2 hours), add minute lighting/shading details (~30 minutes-1.5 hour), and sweep the pic for anything that may need tweaks (~30 minutes).

Schedule Adherence: Ahead

Tweaks Needed: Minor

Idea of Direction: Certain

Overall Outlook: Very Good

Two days left.

Literally worked all day. Routine and tasks were disordered and deviated from the established plan. Finished line art and coloring of August and Elly. Finished line art, coloring, and shading of their ice cream. Have only begun line art and coloring for the table; given the artistic direction I am going for, perception/line work may prove time-consuming–I still reserve the option of defaulting to a simpler design for the table. I do not foresee shading as a particularly demanding objective for the overall project. As originally allotted, the background design has not been started yet.

Schedule Adherence: Slightly Ahead

Tweaks Needed: Notable

Idea of Direction: Questionable

Overall Outlook: Good

Three days left.

Finished all of the rough drawing, and have gotten a respectable head-start on the line art. I’m gonna chisel away at more of the line art before going to sleep.

Tweaks Needed: Minor

For my next picture, I’m gonna try to challenge myself. I’ll try to make some laptop wallpaper of August and Elly eating ice cream together. Here’s the work schedule I’m looking to go by:

July 28–Polished Hand Drawing

July 29–Polished Line Art and Begin Coloring

July 30–Finish Coloring and Begin Shading

July 31–Finish Shading and Begin and Finish Background

Given the pace of my last set of pics (Elly’s shading situation was hell and a half, but even still), I kind of wanna see how much in over my head I am or if I can actually pull it off. Feels like a 50-50 thing, honestly, but I got the basic premise down for it all, at least. Schedule-wise, I think shading and layers are the things that’ll end up fucking me over. Thus far, they’ve been notorious factors in time management.

Welp, wish me luck. I’ll give you guys the play by play with each day’s end.

My Internet went down yesterday, so I just kind of took a break from drawing. Anyways, I still got a bit more to do, but I figured I’d share the picture below. While I was shading a few days back, I was tweaking the shade portions that didn’t quite line up appropriately. After I was done with adjusting the layer, I thought it looked pretty trippy, so I figured you’d enjoy it as well.
