LAMA Sakura Showcase 1 (FREE TO USE) by The-Sakura-Samurai on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

NOTE: I DID NOT DRAW THIS, NOR DID I COLOR THIS; HOWEVER, I HELPED TO MAKE THIS PICTURE AND I HAVE GOTTEN PERMISSION TO POST THIS!

As a heads up, I broadcast myself playing games on Twitch almost every day and while I am affiliated with Twitch, I would like to be partnered with Twitch which requires 75 viewerships in the span of 30 days. If you like my work and want to support me in some way, please see if you could watch my stuff when I'm broadcasting as it would help me out a lot and you don't even need a twitch account to do so. Although if you do we can talk about stuff while we are live and it would help make the stream a lot more interesting. Just click on the link and see if you could catch me live!

In addition if you want to support me even more, consider subscribing to me on Twitch for as low as $5 USD per month, doing so would allow you to use a special emoticon on my streams and other channels as well and as the more people subscribe the more emoticons you can use in the future. Also Amazon Prime members can subscribe to me for free without paying any money.

Finally people who are subscribed to my Twitch will also get discounts on color commissions as being Tier 1 would get you 10 USD off on a color commission!

Please and thanks! Now back to the description

So I should explain myself for a bit

So at the beginning of 2022 I've posted a picture showcasing Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji wearing LAMA gear and the Astrogirl Spacesuit in the same picture. However as I stated before, I didn't make the picture or color this picture in any way as I only commissioned the picture and while I wanted the original person (テミスの嘆き or Lamentations of Themis) to showcase this, instead they wanted me to do so and I was able to showcase them along with Naoko in a LAMA Dry suit set up. While it's nice there was more to showcase it's just at the time I didn't know how to do so exactly...and now that enough time has passed (and even more help later) not only am I allowed to showcase more of the pictures that I've gotten to work with Themis but the best part, I'm going to give these high quality references for free for everyone to use with no catch at all. You'll find the download link above to all 4 sides that I'm showing right now. It's not just these 4 sides as the poses are fully customizable allowing you to have the characters do different expressions (front facing only) and even chose to remove some gear or all of the gear. But I'll explain/showcase that part in the near future but know you have full access to them right now.

But a fair warning, the files are in PSD and the program that was used to make this was in Adobe Photoshop so while they are able to be viewed and customizable in other programs like GIMP for example, some effects would look odd compared to Photoshop. So if you want to use these, I recommend you have Photoshop so you won't lose any details.

Anyways let's talk about Sakura for a bit as this design of Sakura was made more than a year ago as I had the strong desire to upgrade the LAMA gear that I've been using as seeing how the other people I see draw the gear had them using the Real Life LAMA design complete with extra equipment like having the air gauge and a regulator to make them feel more like a professional diver along with having double air tanks as I have a soft spot for the double air tank design dispute how heavy it may be. But it was going to be very hard to fully explain and showcase the gear to artists as I try to keep details as close as I can when it comes to working with artists. But thankfully Themis was open at the time to do such a thing allowing them to create 4 angles and being customizable to boot allowing anyone I show this too back in the day to understand the details and get it as close as they can get it. Granted I will say that now a days it's more to give the artist some kind of an idea rather than a main reference as this LAMA gear has been updated a bit since then in terms of design I prefer like a circle bubble helmet for example rather than the oval like shape even though it is closer to the design but hey.

And like I said, it is finally nice to showcase all these poses but it's clear I couldn't do it alone. Earlier on I said that it's best to use Photoshop as any other program would have some problem displaying some effects...and guess what I don't have. So for me to showcase this, I definitely need some help and thankfully evgnm happened to have Photoshop if he he could set everything up for me to showcase this and all future showcase for the next couple of weeks as I wouldn't be able to show these off without his help. I can't thank him enough for this and the others he made as well...and in case you are wondering yes I am going to hold off reviews and posting color commissions a bit so that I can show these off. I am not apologizing ^^;

And that's about it. Expect the next part of the showcase to show up pretty soon and I hope you like it and have fun ^^
