New Commission! Ghia Mercado draws Tyler

A few months back, I funded the Get Ghia to Oakland campaign to help a young artist whose work I admire get to Oakland to start working in her dream job.

As a reward, Ghia offered to do digital sketches for her supporters, and I chipped it for a sketch of Tyler from Divide the Sky (yep, Rebel Against Heaven has had a title change).

It's a super cool, action-packed sketch, and I'm happy to share it here.

I absolutely love the details -- the pose, the feathers around the edges, the crosshatching and the sketchy construction lines you can see behind it.

I was experimenting when I started getting commissioned art for this story, and I wasn't quite sure if it would be as much fun as it seemed it my head... it has! I've really been loving seeing how every artist does their own spin on the character while keeping true to the reference images I provide.

Sketchbook: Tyler — Influence

I planned to upload some scans from my sketchbook last month, but got sidetracked. Here we go!

A sketch of Tyler holding some mysterious object, and then generally looking angry.

Commissioned Art by Fishiebug

I commissioned artist Fishiebug to do a bust painting of Tyler from REBEL AGAINST HEAVEN, and oh man did she deliver some awesome work:

It is so good. So very very good, and stunningly true to the reference images I gave her. I'm hoping to commission some more work from her on the future, but before I can do that I'll need some half-decent references from my other characters.

Fishiebug also recorded an hour of working on this piece, which is super useful for aspiring artists to pick up new skills. I've already found it very helpfull!

Using this as a desktop background to keep me motivated through these revisions!

Revisions are going pretty well today. My system wasn't working but I sorted it out, and now instead of overwhelming myself I can take it all one thing at a time.
