Good night or good morning everyone, hope u all doing great.
So, this time I was working on my piece for the Blast prompt, and I think itβs actually the first time Iβve done something like this. At first, idk, I didnβt really have a clear idea of what to do.
I was talking with a friend about comicsπ stuff like Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Batman and others ... and I guess thatβs where the inspiration kinda came from . Somehow, it ended up looking more like a comic book cover, which was actually what I was trying to go for (or at least thatβs what I thought I wanted lol).
Originally, I wanted to use the Light Healer, but with a more playful vibe. I had something like Harley Quinnβs energy in mind .. a bit chaotic, kinda crazy ... and I think that ended up showing through a little.
This time I worked in Photoshop instead of Corel Painter, and used a brush with texture, βcause honestly I prefer it that way. Iβm not a fan of super clean lines... I just like when it has a bit of roughness, makes it feel more alive.
I also played more with the contrast between black and white this time. I wanted it to feel a bit stronger, like thereβs more impact when you look at it . I like how black and white can tell a story on their own, without needing much color. Itβs like you can feel the energy just from the balance between light and shadow.
About the linesβ¦ yeah, theyβre not perfect (not even close lol), but I feel like Iβve gotten a bit better at handling them. Before, I used to overthink every single line, trying to make it clean and perfect, and it honestly just made me tired. Now I just let them be, and somehow it feels more natural. Itβs not about being perfect anymore ........ itβs about the rhythm and the flow. I think thatβs whatβs been making the process a lot more fun lately.
I guess thatβs also part of what βBlastβ means for me ... just letting go of control a bit, creating without overthinking it. And tbh, that made the process way more fun.
Still a lot to improve, but compared to the first Zingtober days, this one felt way more chill and natural.
And honestly, I think that shows.
Oh, and one more thing before I wrap up...
A while ago I was looking for this little shark you see down here π¦. Itβs really special to me. I won it a long time ago here, n it was done by a person many years ago but also I consider a GREAT GREAT GREAT FRIEND now n who does amazing work , very talentedπ€.
I thought I had lost it , I was very sadβ¦ but noooo! I got it back! Yes ! He found n sent it to me again, and Iβm so happy to have it with me once more.
So from now on, this shark will be keeping me company π
Now yes! See you next time.
