Rus Series: Perkunu (hexbear.net)
submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

This guy is a thunder priest who also turns into a bear, also he's one of the larger and stronger humans called a Chud. It's pronounced like chood though I think. The previous character, the Son of Heaven, is also a Chud, but he's part of the settled side of the Rus, whereas this is a woods type of guy.

I'm really enjoying this little project. I can feel my confidence with these brushes growing a lot and the successive drawings going much more smoothly and faster. I let myself get a little more fun with the pose since the last one was looking pretty staid.

It's crazy how actually spending time drawing every day makes you better at it.

My line weight is still inconsistent, but I did a bit better with the hierarchy of weight here. The anatomy is exaggerated, but fairly consistent. I'm sloppy and should spend more time cleaning up. I need to take time to do hand practice, they're one of the most expressive parts of the body and I could do much more interesting poses by taking advantage of that. I am pleased with how the bearskin looks almost animated, perhaps it is; but I should continue to push my poses (and values).

Most of my tablet and Krita operation is pretty comfortable at this point, but it's still kind of a pain in the ass to do cleaning. Until we get specialized generative tools to do that kind of work I guess it's making better lines, spend a long time, or let it be messy.
