FRENDEN’S 600+ CLIP STUDIO BRUSH SET UPDATE

store.frenden.com

These painting, penciling, inking, and special FX tools utilize a wide range of custom made textures, daubs, and settings emulating traditional media and beyond.

This set reflects twelve years of obsessive iteration in the pursuit of making the best digital drawing tools possible.

All updates and additions are free for the life of the set. Speak of the devil:

Added approximately 200 new brushes. New FX tools include ropes, chains, trees, tentacles, lightning and more.
Optimized all tools for better performance on iOS and low-spec systems. Nearly every tool’s texture and daub were adjusted.

Reblog for a chance at a free set.

Some orcish character art and process. Highlighted areas being more saturated is not only the generally correct way to render form, it conserves your value scale. You get a lot of mileage out of relatively similarly valued colors and it’s like free depth to describe the form with.

I pick highlight colors closer to the hue of the light source and my shadows closer to that of the ambient atmosphere (and usually a compliment to the hue of the light source). Here, yellow to blue/purple.

I’ve always liked less recognizably humanoid orcs. The best film orcs were probably the Fifth Element aliens if we’re real talkin’ here. Dad hat, cut and sew print tank, pin rolled jeans and CP3xs. He tries very hard.

I decided to add some hand lettering to that last doodle.
Kawhi was amazing last night in the extremely tight loss to Memphis. He’s definitely part machine.

Warmup drawing. Kawhi Leonard as a cyborg. Because, let’s be real – he is one.

After a day spent drawing character art for clients, I decided to unwind by… drawing some character art.

Some of my MST3K concept art has hit the wild over on the Kickstarter page. Here’s my first stab at Bobo as a puppet.
Plans called for an Aliens-style loader to hide an actor when Bobo needs to move around the set. That was my task. Bobo as a puppet,...

Plans called for an Aliens-style loader to hide an actor when Bobo needs to move around the set. That was my task. Bobo as a puppet, a loader to cart him around in.

The Kickstarter is perilously close to it’s 12 episode goal. Please support us if you like MST3K and have the means!

Long belated commission. The request was, paraphrasing, to have Rufio burning someone alive. You people are sick. Sick, I say!

I’m really happy with the impasto-like texture the painting has. I’m developing a new set of impastfaux Manga Studio brushes. There should be a free update soon with 10-15 painterly, smeary, textured brushes. This whole painting was done with just one of the variants.
