Happy Friyay! I had an off work today but still updating some reports on my computer. Also, this is my chance to stock up blogs while I can, right? :D So I planned to make two blogs for today, one for the SPL entry, and one draft. Earlier I went out because I craved milktea. Gosh, it was so damn hot. Err, sorry, back to the topic. :D

Here is my chosen character in my art style!
Sketch and concept
I think this is my first time using a 3D model for an SPL entry. This 3D model is perfect when drawing complicated poses or positions. Clip Studio has this feature pre-downloaded and you can download more on their community asset. This is one of the reasons why I bought Clip Studio Paint Pro! 😄 Also, you ca customize the body size and gender.
Aside from the 3D model I also used this reference for the hands and expression. The facial expression and the hand position are the big challenges for me.
Flat colors and shading
The picture became clear once the lineart is done! The hands are a bit small but do not worry coz I am going to fix them later via liquify. The colors are just color-picked from the original art. If I cannot copy the exact color that reflects from the original art, I just manually find the closest shade on the color wheel.
The character looks like Winry Rockbell of Fullmetal Alchemist. The hair and the eyes resemble the anime character. Though Evangelist is fiercer.
I first shaded the skin color. I just picked a color below the base color. A little darker for the most cornered parts.
Shading and details
See, I added the mouth here already. It is so hard to make an intense expression because it is not what I used to. Usually, I just draw a smile, grin, or tounge out. Thank God for reference, or else I will lose mah sanity for this expression, HAHA!
On the second picture, I used the shape tool to make circles. I put them in separate layers to adjust the spacings after. I merged them all in just one layer. I then copy that merged layer and blurred it out. It may be unnoticeable but I put some dust around the circle, hehe.
Final Art
Now time to put the magic glow to make this picture come to life! I used another layer on top of the rings and set it to Add Glow. I picked a yellow color close to the color white. I used the airbrush tool with 80 percent opacity. Brush it to the t-zone, cheek, and mouth. More glows are added to the rings. I also drew a blurred lace on the lower right.
For the final touch, I use the magic liquify tool to adjust the proportions. In this case, I liquified the hands and the eyes.
Tadddaaaa~ Evangelist in my art style!
I really enjoyed using the 3D model. This is a big help for me in terms of perspective, poses, and proportions. I am still learning how to use it because I keep messing up. If I keep using the 3D model, probably will get used to the tool.
Software: Clip Studio Paint Pro
That is it for this art blog. I will see you at the next one!

Looking great, Jiji! You're improving so much with your anime style. No shame in using refs and models : )
Her expression looks very intense 🧨🧨. Have an amazing weekend!
Yeah, I always go for references. This was an intense expression tho.
Thanks, Ema! 😍!PIZZA
You did the glow really well here. I saw that you put some effort into adding the details of the glow inside the mouth too, most people skip that xd. The other areas looks great as well hehe. So you are choosing anime lineart and manhwa style painting combo. This style is the trend these days.
Did you forget to draw her eyebrows though 😅? I staired at her face for a bit and felt something odd. Good news is that its easy to add and re-upload a new one before curation begins. I don't know if you did this on purpose though like ssj3 Goku.
Update: I see the brow now. its looking very close and similar to the lashes and I misunderstood it as a part of the lashes. I was kinda expecting the big brows as seen on the source image. Sorry xd.
Oooh, my eyebrow is so thin and close to the lashes so probably looks missing hahaha 🤣. But thank you for pointing this out, Sol. Hard to notice things when you stare at them over and over, right? BTW, congrats on last week! Good job as always!
No problem hehe. I think it's more noticeable on a big screen. If we view it on a phone the brows might not be so obvious. Samdoesart talked about this issue so the guy posts test versions on his phone as well to see how it looks on a smaller display and make changes accordingly if needed. Its pretty smart :)
Thanks again Jiji.
