Floatharrさんのイラストまとめ

Apparently this is pony armor... Looked weird and interesting so I painted it. Designs gave me a little trouble tho

Turned out to be more work than I thought. Threw in a quick background and some glow effects at the end, adds a lot.

Had technical difficulties which ate up time, I'll be finishing this up tomorrow. Super complicated reflections o.O

Seems like the longer I look at the ref the more detail I see. At first it feels like I'm just painting a weird blob

The complicated ones end up being faster to do and result is prettier, counterintuitive! Maybe easier to simplify...

Simple value structure from large to small, and keeping the hierarchy in mind makes handling the complexity easier

Hard to predict how much time these take, this one stretched the stream to 5 hours. Complex shapes!

Good texture practice, with the bright highlights. Rougher surfaces are fun, don't have to render so accurately

Better control by blocking in with 100% opacity, then zooming liberally for details with a blender & standard brush

Wanted to relax a little so I painted this lion today. With these you feel like you're always halfway done :P
