A trio of LISA drawings from 2020. The first Rando and Brad are a set, while the last drawing is a thumbnail I made for a friend who remixed The End is Nigh since they did so for a fight that had sprites based on the firstmost drawing.

I wanted to stylize them in a way that reflected how both of them used the Armstrong style, thus the title.

Rando understood martial arts very deeply, using it to reflect on himself and the world around him, making him strong but still very kind. Brad couldn't let go of his guilt and anger, using martial arts only as a weapon to express that. I tried to use very sharp and decisive lines to render Rando, like a building or a set of pillars, while Brad is much more organic and emotional, hard to delineate and limit.

At this time I used SAI's binary pen for many drawings, and this is no exception. I think everyone should experience this woderful brush at least once, it really boils down digital art to it's bare essentials... just the pen pressure and changing the color of exactly the pixels you want.

Something I never got used with Newgrounds is the way it displays the image's full quality... it makes perfect sense, but I'm so used to posting on other platforms I never really think things will simply come out perfect the other end. Makes me realise my problem with using massive canvases in digital art. Something you can see well here, haha.
