It feels good to paint again, albeit digitally. Really enjoying digital painting. This time, I’m using Paint Tool SAI to put the colors in. Previously, I had used Photoshop to paint the elements, but Paint Tool SAI feels more natural, and is easier to blend colors with. It’s more lightweight, too. I just have to be more familiar with it’s user interface and shortcuts. I’m also planning to try other programs for digital painting, preferably low-cost (free?) and lightweight like SAI. Any suggestions?

Progress: A scene from my Something About Us (Daft Punk) animated music video (that I recomposed vertically so I could use it as a profile picture).
Just sharing my process for my Something About Us animation. To save time, I made a lot of things simple. The shapes, the colors and the textures. I limited my colors to a single blue hue and a single yellow hue, and different shades of those colors. And then to create the texture, I only use one single brush, and made 3 different uh.. “densities”? With one grungy art brush (one of Adobe Illustrator’s default art brushes), I made 3 levels of roughness.
Looking forward to completing the whole thing. :)
Something About Us - Teaser (by Gab Madrid)
This video was supposed to be a color test of some sort. Notice that the illustrations are drawn free mouse. (Free hand, but with a mouse. Get it? :D). Then, I decided to clean it up a little, and made it into a teaser video. :)
The final version will have a style different from this one. Watch out for it! :)

Working on a little something. :) Here’s a work-in-progress preview. Also, what is another word for commission? As in “I commissioned an artist to do this artwork for me”? or “This artist is open for commissions”?
