REAL ART From Carl Clemente

1–2 minutes

To read

Carl Clemente is a super talented artist from the Philippines who freelances through Fiverr. He’ll be working with me to bring Red Krewe back to life, so we can finally finish the story Gravitywell Productions wouldn’t let me finish. It’s been a rough road, finally glad to come up on the end of it!

But he’s also been helping us design characters for “Wyrd.” Today we’re showing you sketches to show you that YES we are using real art here. First up, something the computers can’t do, a preliminary sketch! Compare the start to the end; this is what makes real art fascinating.

This is Scheherezade, the author of 1,001 Arabian Nights.

Observe the tightened up lines, and the fat in the feet giving them volume. Her expression has also changed from dour and sour to happy hour!

Fiverr Illustrator

Carl is a kick ass artist; currently he’s working with me to bring “Red Krewe” back to life. He makes KILLER shirt design styles images. He’s designed Scheherezade for me as well as illustrated X-33.

Hello there!! I am a professional illustrator specializing in manga / anime style and semi-realistic drawing style. I love illustrating characters, backgrounds and fantasy / surreal designs and concepts. I have illustrated various comic books, shirt designs and card game artworks throughout my career and would love to draw more.

Carl is really easy to work with! Here is their Fiverr page.
