The Lost Ghost part 1 | Lires Artwork Process | Original Art
Hey guys! This will be a 2 part process where I'll also discuss about how I will animate my artwork. But first, I should create the artwork first. Although this time, since I'm planning to animate this one, the process will be a bit different than usual.
Before I begin, I would just like to suggest that you vote for @curie as witness here https://steemit.com/~witnesses. @curie has helped a lot of artist who's just starting here on steemit, just like me.
And also check out @smartsteem! I think they're onto something amazing for quality-post steemers!

Some great action poses given by the character owner.
Using SH Figuarts
I was finally able to buy one of these and was excited to use it! I bought a grey Body-kun and Body-chan on amazon.ca for CA$95 and CA$105, respectively. It came with a bunch of accessories like celphones, katanas, laptops, guns and more!
Sketching
So first I finalize a pose that I feel would fit perfectly on the scene that I'm thinking. Take a photo. Then sketch on top of it.
For the background, I used SketchUp and then sketched on top of it in Manga Studio (MS).
Inking
Since I'm going to animate this artwork, I ink the parts that I'm going to animate, separately.
Cel-Shading
I color them separately as well using MS.
Painting
I painted the BG in SAI.
Final Product
Now the artwork is finished, I can now animate it! I'll do that on part 2. ^-^
Body-kun and Body-chan helped you a lot, but you have tremendous skills , nice work. How much time it takes ?
Thanks! It usually takes 4 days to finish something like this. But with Body-kun, I can do it in 3. :)
Cool work bro.. but it is a bit hard to see you are sort of selling out by buying the massive votes or is that just me? :/
I mean i understand its a great way to make some cash :O
Thanks man! If you mean by 'selling-out' that I'm trying to earn money from my posts, then you're correct! :D In fact, I made it clear on my introduction page that I'm here to earn money from my art. If I didn't then I'd just choose decline payout.
At the same time, I also get to share my techniques to others that are interested in our field. It's like a win-win!
Good thing you taught me how to use those voting bots. Thanks for that. :)
hahaha :D
Yeh its definitely a nice way to make some extra cash! :)
SOrry to stick my nose in.. it really is none of my business.
I love your work, wish it would receive such appreciation without the help of votebots :(
I think its deserved!
Keep rockin bro! Cheers!
lol Not a problem, beek! Your thoughts are worth listening to!
That'll be hard though. Since Steemit's trending section is kind of filled with spam and countless re-posts with huge payouts! The only way you can make a high-quality post stand out is by having a larger post payout.
I hope the dev team can do something about that in the future. :)
yeh i really do hope steemit gets their shit together -_-
Nice to see such a great results with this doll. I see the add on my facebook everyday for the last few months and planned to buy one from aliexpress. How is it holding position and the quality of plastic? Do you think it is durable?
Lol I see that ad as well. xD I would suggest that you get the Body-kun Takarai and Body-chan Yabuki versions instead. The joints are improved resulting in a more wide possibility of poses! The regular versions I have have limited poses.
