⚜ Darthy's Drawing Corner ⚜

[Darth Delicious]

Welcome in this little corner of Arts by me!
Darthy is short for Darth Delicious, though in real life I go by the name of Finnean (Finn) and I'll sign my art with that too.

 

Spoiler

 A little history lesson here 😛 
I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. But I stopped in 1998, because I was constantly told it was "just a hobby, a waste of time" and it started to get me down.
10 years later I got introduced to City of Heroes and it inspired me to pick up the pencils again. And I learned so much since!

Just a heads up; I'm Dutch and therefor multilingual, so my English may be off here and there ^_^.

So I thought I'd share some of my work. (the rest you can see on my Deviant Art Page)

The last CoH related drawing I did was back in 2017, a double portrait of my own two mains Mysterious Mike and Darth Delicious:
I made them both look a bit older (though that was a lot easier with Mike), because well, time did pass, didn't it.   😮


I'm pretty proud of this one actually. I mean.. look at the stuff I did back in 2008, when I just picked up drawing again *giggles*.


Feedback and practice people, it can work really well for you if you give it a fair chance ^_^.

Here are some more CoH related pieces I did up to 2017. I'll be sharing new stuff in new posts 🙂 .

I remember all of these. It's been quite the journey

watching your art progress over the last decade+.

Here's to many more art-filled decades to come!

Couldn't have done it without you! Or maybe it would have taken me a hell of a lot longer to get where I'm now 😛.

Onward to decades of art!

I'll start right away 😄
So I've been trying on and off to train myself doing a less realistic drawing style. It's really hard for me because it's so easy to go back to realism. It's kind of like driving the same route for years and years, but suddenly you have to turn right, where you always went left. 😧

Spoiler

I'm used to drawing and painting like this:

 

 

 

I gathered the references that were put in the Art Request Thread so I had a couple of practice pieces for when I finished an online course (it was more a "here are some tips and tricks" kind of thing) I was doing.

I started with Chernobyl Dawn for @ZemyaSoldat: (I spend quite some time on the eyes (I can't seem to stop myself from that haha), so I made a version without the visors too:

 

 

I then focused on the handsome Edmund Templeton for @Flashtoo and half-cat Lithium for @_Kai_ :

I drew Brahn Fuhrnos for @Christopher Robin after Edmund, but I got compelled to color it too, so I'm displaying both the drawing and the colored version side by side 🙂 .

 

 

 

And currently, aside another truck commission, I'm working on a little something for myself (didn't want to exclude my own characters after all 😛).
- to be continued!

Hah! I forgot about this one. I made this for a little Birthday Give Away I held back in 2017. I wanted Darth Delicious to "present" it.
I guess this is a bit of a Throw back Thursday then!

Cute!

 

...and it's definitely not another new style of chibi separate from all the others

you have done that you totally didn't master overnight while you slept.

[Darth Delicious]

When I find the time I draw a little for myself. Currently I'm working on my characters Darth Delicious and Mysterious Mike. Just because 🙂.. well..

and to practice drawing from my Body Kun and Body Chan figurines... ☺️
Lines are pretty much done, onward to colors!
 

 

Spoiler

This is the picture I used as a reference for the poses.

These figurines are mainly made for Anime/Manga drawing so I always have a bit of tweaking to do, especially with drawing from Chan (female).
But it beats taking selfies in impossible poses 😛 .

[Darth Delicious]

Thanks for the heads up @biostem! Works now, right? 🙂

I'm guessing it was pirates day?

^^Waves at the pink and black lady^^ You probably don't remember me but I love your artwork and thanks for helping color my hero. Twice.

 

oh is that why CR was talking funny in some posts. I had to google it but it makes sense now hahaha International Talk like a Pirate Day. Who came up with that idea I wonder?

Edited September 30, 2019 by DJ1

[Christopher Robin]

Yep that's why. I also change my avatar to one with a pirates hat and

eye patch with skull and crossbones on it for the day too.

 

Not sure who came up with it originally but it is my favorite of the silly holidays. YARRRRR!

 

@Darth Delicious DD is looking great in that pic so far, Mike looks happy, which I am still not used to lol.

*waves back* Hi!! Oooh which hero was it? I bet I'll remember when I see him/her!

@Christopher RobinThanks CR! Hahah I'm still not used to seeing Mike happy either, but since @Flashtoo drew him like that, I can't seem to draw him with a pondering look on his face anymore hahahaha. (I don't mind 😉 - it's nice to see him smile after so many years)

[Christopher Robin]

DJ1's hero was called Gray Ming Badda Bing

This one, you helped color him as part of 2x collabs

though you may have just flatted once and it branched into

two different collabs at the same time. Thumbnail links to the colors.

 

 

Yeah it's a good change of pace for him to not be brooding all the time.

I probably should have asked about typical expression!

Nope! I'm superhappy with a happy Mike! It was such an unexpected but wonderful surprise!

If you would have asked, I'd probably ask you to surprise me anyway 🙂 .

[Christopher Robin]

 

Of course not knowing he is always mopey because he lost his family to the Rikti invasion

of Paragon City, Flashtoo's "surprise you" expression might very well have been to draw Mike sad.

Oooh!!! I remember that! That was fun! 

[Christopher Robin]

It was indeed! Watching it get colored both times.  In fact I was digging around

and found I have the WIP stages so I'm gonna go ahead and post them for funzies.

[Darth Delicious]

*dusts off this topic* Phew! It's been a while since my last CoX related drawing (still haven't finished the DD and MM one)! 😅

It's been exactly 5 years since I drew Chibi @Christopher Robin and Darth Delicious and thought this was a good time to do another. 1st because of our Birthdays and second, because I really need to get back into drawing 😊.

 

So, here's what I've come up with sofar.

Will post again when it's finished 😎

Super powered high five!

[Christopher Robin]

 

Happy another successful revolution of Terra about Sol as it

relates to your annual day of uterine expulsion remembrance! 

 

In other words happy birthday.

Your present isn't quite ready yet so you'll

have to be patient. Hope you had a great day though.

happy cake day pink lady!
