Tradigital Ultimate Battle!

Share

My entry for Jazza's 2017 April CoTM :3

Everytime when I see "traditional and digital art together" it can't be anything other than an epic battle between them. What kind of art is more powerful? A traditional art with pencils and whole history of classic artists? Or modern, digital art with the possibilities that were never available in other way? You decide!

DigiTeam:
- Wilhelm Tabletsky aka "Willy" - a strong artist, full of passion and fire. He represents of emotions that every artists have: unstoppable ispirations, impulsive positive emotions to new created art, but also that feelings when you can't find your tablet pen or when computer crashes while saving file.
(And yes, he has "Art is Lyfe" tattoo on his arm)
- PS-CSP-Sa1 aka "PS" - a robotic girl who looks and works beautiful. Just be nice for her, unless you want to have your tablet pen without pressure settings. At first she looks too complex for mortals, but try to get to know her and she will show how to improve your work with some magic tricks. She represents digital drawing softwares.
- Mr Beanie: a wolf, who comes to your arts and paint them with RGB colors and add textures with his fur. Maybe he looks dangerous and scary, but in reality he is very nice. No one knows what's his real name. He represents coloring and shading parts of art - you know, that part no one likes to do, because it's too difficult.

TradiTeam:
- Giovanni Anatomico aka "Gio" - he was there, when great artists were learning how to draw people. Gio doesn't forgive, doesn't give a mercy - if character on paper doesn't look great, erase it and try again. Ear is too low, eyes too close to each other. Do you want to draw a manga or cartoon? First learn how to draw an anatomy. He represents an experience and hard working of art.
- Muase - at first you can think "how she can create art when she is blind?". However, you have to remember that Muase doesn't paint art, she IS an inspirations. She comes to you at night, in the morning, when you are in the bus or on boring lesson. Muase doesn't need her eyes, she sees an art with her soul and heart. She represents an inspiration and impulse to create a masterpiece.
- Dummy - come on, what kind of artist would be an artist without a dummy in their workshop?

That art wasn't only a some art I drew for a challenge. It was also a challenge for me - I never drew so many characters in one place, that's also a first time when I drew a wolf. The biggest challenge was with showing a differences between TradiTeam and DigiTeam - not only I wanted to point a differences between them, but also I tried to give a story behind that art. Because no matter what kind of artist you are - traditional or digital - it's always good to give a heart to your art <3.
Also the biggest challenge for me was creating a TradiTeam - I decided to draw them in traditional way, so I had to draw them on paper, shade them too and put on art after scanning in scanner.
Time work: 8-9 days

PS. I'm so proud of Muase's dress. That challenge was really helpful for me, I never drew so nice folds on clothes <3

I love the coloring you did for the digital side. Especially the skin tone on 'Willy' and the rainbow slobber on 'Mr. Beanie'.
