13 Days of Halloween

Really interesting design and love the rendering style.

[smceccarelli]

@burvantill Thank you! Yes it´s digital - ProCreate, because I’m traveling...

[Teju Abiola]

Wow! I love this idea & your always awesome painting skills.

[Johanna Kim]

Great idea! Gorgeous digital rendering. Love the textures.

[smceccarelli]

Second one - a Fish-Out-of-the-Water. Still some tweaks here and there....

[burvantill]

@smceccarelli okay, you have officially become the moon that I am shooting for.

[smceccarelli]

@burvantill Not too far...I’m just a satellite orbiting the illustrators I admire

[smceccarelli]

Number 3...easy one but hopefully creepy enough.
The Shadow.

[LauraA]

@smceccarelli Loving the clever concepts here, such as the fish having to wear a bowl on his head that keeps the water in (not to mention the bloody red mouth), and how the shadow covers candy on the floor.

I love the blue in the stomach, but I'm a bit curious about it. Is it because he's digesting candy or is it a bit of color that got through because the shadow's...um...person?...is translucent? Could be both, of course, and it works very well as part of the design.

@smceccarelli wow. would love to see your process of creating this bot in procreate. I am experimenting with painting in procreate also.

[smceccarelli]

@xin-li Unfortunately ProCreate keeps crashing on my iPad (I got used to it and it doesn’t bother me too much), so I sometimes turn off time-lapse recording to help it cope with larger files - and I did for the bot because it had a lot of layers.
I do have the recording of the fish head, though, if you’re interested.

beautiful work

[nasvikdraws]

@smceccarelli Love all of these (and your other work too). Very very inspiring. The last one is especially strong because of the simplicity.

What brush are you using in Procreate?

[smceccarelli]

@nasvikdraws Thank you! I always end up using the same two: Nikko Rull and Pencil 6B.

[nasvikdraws]

@smceccarelli thank you for the info. Again, such great pieces, I'll keep looking for the upcoming ones in this series. Oh and finally I found you on Instagram! Lol. I really love your work

[burvantill]

@smceccarelli I have the same problem with the bigger files. Does turning off the replay function solve the crashing problem? I’ve ended up just merging layers when I’m done with them but sometimes that doesn’t even help.

And yes on the fish video! Please .

[smceccarelli]

@burvantill It doesn’t solve it, but it improves it. As well as closing all other apps and shutting down the wireless connection. On good days I have then no crashes at all.
I´ll get the fish video online and share the link soon.

No 4 - Vampire Zombie Monkey....Pupils or no pupils, that´s the question...

[nasvikdraws]

@smceccarelli Cooool. I guess no pupils. However, pupils or no pupils, no question that it still looks amazing.

[Chip Valecek]

@smceccarelli No Pupils. I like the look of no pupils. I am doing no pupils on my inktober pieces this year, i usually like to make my eyes big and colorful. So its a nice change for me.
