Greyscale for anyone who might want to design coatings for it with painted colour overlays, etc.
The grey tone is lighter than the tone of the red used in the original post.
If you use it drop the original post in the replies, please 🙏.
@Naka_the_spooky Making both their contrast higher (and the red pile, if that is a focal point), I think, helps bring the characters and draw the eye to the red stuff quicker. Obviously, if she IS the full main focus this doesn't matter too much, but I do think her darks should still be darker.
@Naka_the_spooky I think it needs more contrast in the tone. Right now (to me, it might have been your intention) tones feel too close. The sun on the shoulder is great, but antler man is blending into the background a little bit while using the squint test.
Thinking about the new Zooper Doopers vs the old ones that had cool robots in space offering us one is really disheartening.
the bust has also been significantly downsized for now, I felt it was too big for none of the right reasons. Looked more like a solid bone than bulbous enlarged flesh.
Tonight cleb lore. Next goal is to bring in touch more defined muscles on the front with the weird holes, but I'm quite happy with the back as of right now. But part of the issue is leaving the front a little more ambiguously alien so you get that reveal of the back, showing-
From my early ambitions of Wobbegongs to some of my more exciting funky aliens my 3D push has been quite the journey, my hard surface could certainly still use some work, same goes for some actual rendering. But I'm very excited as to where this journey goes in the near future.
My only real regret is focusing too much on digital paintings off of images. I kept a very consistent journal of pencil life sketches for the first half of the year but an ill-timed lockdown killed a lot of that push and birthed my digital push. More in life drawings too.
Progress report, the general physique is getting to a point I'm quite pleased with. The main focus tonight was on the legs/upper arm/shoulders. Going back and forth between different ideas I've explored in illustration and clay is rather fun. https://t.co/QhwTePTtNd
Tonights Cleb lore session has been fruitful. I'm still largely unhappy with the proportions but every illustration I've ever done of them changes wildly as I feel out the baseline anatomy. My direction idea is that they are, visually, muscle-bound cephalopods.
