Day 24 of drawing. SIAMÉS “Summer Nights”

I got a couple PMs asking for a cleaner version, because, to be fair, my final composition was pretty dark and messy, so here’s a cleaner take on my final for the EQG Rainbow Rocks 10th Anniversary Art Event, one figure at a time.

Here’s all the alternative versions:

Aria’s drumset is the EFNOTE3 - the NexGen standard (shop now). It includes multi-sensor pads and 360° cymbals, with the NEO pad, including a wide range of flexible and expandable interfaces as well as iPad integration. Its Monocoque drum shells are stiff and durable, with 2ply mesh and multi-sensor for hotspotless and high-resolution sounding. The independent side-rim makes them intuitive and reliable, without switch operation, and with less rebound. And the strike-feel Kick gives stable multi-sensing for single or dual beaters. The 3-zone 360° cymbals provide bow/edge/cup with a wide play and choke area in a free-swinging design and a responsive edge. The NEO pad provides high quality DAC and audio in an ultra-compact module with a touch screen and intuitive user interface. The included ELISE™ Sensing Processor is able to capture the drummer’s intentions from each stroke, with a low latency and wide dynamic range that is consistent with stable sensing. The full scale acoustic sound of this drum set is absolutely the missing element that made Aria’s trip to Equestria worth the pain. She finally has a kit that is capable of keeping up with her craft.

When I drew this one of the problems I had in PhotoShop was I used new layers for each mechanical part. Sometimes four. One for the texture, one for the shadows and highlines, one for the lineart, one for color … it was a disaster. In the future I’m going to try to use CMD-E a lot more.
