A rainy weekend! 鈽旓笍

Right now we are experiencing a typhoon and probably will leave on Monday hopefully! But on the good side, the rain is calming and cold. I just had a bowl of spicy ramyun yesterday. 馃槞

For this week, I chose exploding rats! 馃悁馃挘

I thought of drawing explosives and wrapping them with the rat's tail. For the rat's lineart, I used the symmetrical ruler. On the explosive, I first drew one using the shape tool. It is easier since I have a reference. I drew the two subjects in different layers so I could adjust them later.

After doing the lineart for the explosive, I colored it and did some shading. I piled every layer in a folder. I then copied and pasted it twice to make two more explosives. I then drew a black tape around them.

The color of the rat is color picked from the original card. I colored the inner ear and chest with a little purple color. For the hands and feet, I airbrush a brownish-orange color. I chose a neutral gray for the background.

Final Art

Let's make this rat more explosive! 馃槅 On a layer clipped to the body layer of the rat, I airbrushed a bright yellow in the ears, face, and body. On another layer, set it in glow mode and I airbrush a bright orange. I added some hints of red too. The same procedure goes for the explosives.

Thanks for reading~ 馃挅
