I wanted to do the inktober challenge this year, and after some thinking decided to do so with Gamer Dragons! Every day will be an inktober drawing of the cast in a game. It also allows me to get some practice using traditional media. I used a brush pen for this one.
(I know I’m technically a day late already, two in some timezones, but I’ll just have to make sure I get 30 drawings at the end of the month, right xD )
First day, Kai in Dead Space. He doesn’t look very at ease, but who could blame him with all those creepy crawlies going around.
Suggestions for games are very welcome 😀
Nice one, Sensei. 🙂 The game isn’t one with which I’m familiar, but I like what you did with the large blacked areas. They give that sense of depth and atmosphere while simultaneously giving focus to Kai and allowing the details of his gear to show through. I imagine that’s one of the biggest challenges of monochrome when adding backgrounds or background elements… It would be easy to lose the details of the main subject if the background gets too crazy. 🙂
I’ve never used a brush pen before, but maybe one day… 🙂 Does it have the feel of a regular paintbrush, or is it somewhat different?
Since Kaya is an aspiring vocalist, do you think she might fit in the role of Celes during the famous opera scene of Final Fantasy 6? No pressure of course to take any of my suggestions, but I figured I’d throw it out there. 🙂
How about Kaya as Samus from Metroid?
How funny that you would suggest that, when I decided to replay the Metroid Trilogy just recently. 😛
Though wouldn’t she make a better Ridley?
Hah, I can just see it, Samus (Cleo) with her obligatory ‘I don’t think this is working’-face, Kai as Adam (don’t know who that is? Check ‘Metroid Fusion’ or ‘Other M’) in the background and Kaya as Ridley.
Kai doesn’t have much to worry about. I mean look at the health indicator on his resource integration gear (RIG) run right down the tail. He could get smacked around by the Hivemind and still get up again!
He wouldn’t even need to buy the flamethrower.
