November 2019

Day 3 of November drawing challenge, and I went drawing in BL2. I’ve always wanted to draw the vault environment in BL2 because it’s so beautifully designed. Usual rules applied (have to fight my way there, hold my position, and draw ‘live’ with the daylight) but the vault is an almost unchanging environment once you fight the Warrior. The only big changes were Elpis turning, a few splashes of lava, and the pouring smoke.

Ended up including the version without Helios :P I just thought it looked interesting.

Day 14: Went back to Eleseer, and drew ‘til I got tired. The Guardians respawned, but couldn’t find Tim crouched behind the medvac: A true pro at Extreme Hide & Seek.

I’ve rarely paused to look at this location in detail, and only noticed the red/blue thing and the different star temperatures when I sat down to draw. There’s so much here!

Day 15: Still on Elpis, drawing the views while BL1 is reinstalling. I like how Pandora came out. Kind of tired and depressed now at the halfway point, but I want to finish this challenge.

(If you visit this location in-world, you will spot a high degree of ‘artistic license’ aka making stuff up in the rock outlines here. Also some structures have magically vanished.)

Day 18: left it really late today and have some other drawings on the boil, so sketchy thing visiting the Eridian Promontory near the Vault in #Borderlands. I brought my Eridian sausage gun  rifle, but the Guardians mostly left me to my sketching.
