Hiya! And Bye-ya?

Hey Tumblr! Long time no see! Have you gotten new clothes? Did you figure out what you wanna do next in life? Have you...told your crush you like them? :Oc Well I just hope you’re well.

As everyone and their goldfish is aware of now, Tumblr is implementing new rules that’s not so good for artists like myself and my friends. Truth be told, Tumblr lost it’s appeal for me long before this, hence the silence. (you people is cray-cray) But I don’t want you to go searching far and wide for me should these new rules wind up ruining everything.

To that end, here’s where else you can find me these days:

SBLOB (a site that puts all your social posts into one place. It’s neat!): https://www.sblob.com/profiles/lambitymoon

DeviantART (*sigh* and here I thought I’d never go back): https://www.deviantart.com/lambitymoon

If you’d like to contact me for work, here is my portfolio site:  https://www.lambitymoon.com/

If you’d like to keep up with Petra (returning 1/6/2019!), follow @petracomic!

Thank you! ^3^ <3<3<3

I’ve been feeling unfocused and really stuck lately. Instead of overthinking and making myself feel even worse, I’ll be taking a break off all my social media to fix it. Going back to basics and concentrating is what I need to do right now. Petra will still return this Sunday but other than that, I’m working offline.

See you soon! <3<3<3

NEW CHARACTERS!

Folks, we’re SUPER excited to unveil our first update for exclusive pilot content!  We wanted to start it off with some of our background (incidental) characters!  Just a few of the residents you will find taking up space in the Gulch.  You’ll see em hanging in the saloon, hiding under a tree, or hobbling from shoppe to shoppe.  Our idea was to do our take on various myths but also create new ones.  Part 1, more to come!  Enjoy and thank you for your ongoing support!

For those wondering about HOW to do this, here’s a short explanation according to me:

Drawing A to Drawing B: -the most obvious change is the exaggeration of the line of motion in the character.  

In Drawing B the line of motion is much more pronounced, creating more drama and movement to the whole composition

-The arms are open wider, showing more confidence and exuberance in the character, exaggerating their emotions so they can be more clearly read without having to look to the face for emotional cues.

-the legs are wider apart, adding to the aforementioned confidence but also giving the character a solid foundation, visually speaking.

-The head is tilted back and overlapped by the chest, adding a touch of dynamic perspective to the drawing.

Drawing B to Drawing C:  -Most obvious change is to zoom in on the character.  Character framing is just as important as what the character is doing.  Zooming in can help infensify emotions.  this shot is ALL about this character and what they’re feeling. -Because of the zooming in, the arms/hands would have gotten lost, so instead of making the canvas wider, the artist has elected to rotate the character slightly, bringing a dynamic angle to things and more intensity to the close shot. -While the character is more upright in this shot compared to Drawing B, in Drawing C the chest still slightly overlaps the neck, preserving the feeling of being slightly below the character (putting them in a position of power relative to the viewer), which helps maintain confidence and power in the character. -the chest is exaggerated to carry the majority of the body’s line of action so even though you cannot see the legs, our brains are able to fill in the gap and envision that line of action. -The cropping/framing of the character allows for a more interesting composition/negative shapes created by the positive (character) on the negative (background), creating more visual interest as well as a circular motion to the composition through the arms, across the face to the negative space for the eyes to rest in before dropping to the hand in the background and back through the composition again.
