The process:

1. Sketch - focus on creating interesting shapes, character design, and composition
2. Underpainting - lay in base tones and temperature spots
3. Texture - lay in textures, wrapping around forms
4. Lighting and FX - choose light source, make it pop!

Survivors of NRC's bullshit in some universes, underpaid baristas in others, but still best friends in every single one.
Last illustration before the end of the year because they have consumed my brain. I forgot how to render

Every economic decision is a choice

Essential workers are underpaid and children are hungry to enrich shareholders

In the arts our contributions are constantly devalued, we're sorely underpaid for what we do. AI will exacerbate this. There are ethical, moral and legal quandaries to consider as well. Especially when you consider HOW AI are creating these images.

“How about another joke SpongeBob? What do you get when you cross an underpaid worker with a boss who mistreats him and an annoying coworker who won’t leave him alone to play his clarinet in peace? I’ll tell you what you get: you get what you *dolphin sound* deserve!”

The latest works separated out the bolts holding on the metal panels. On a set of 2-foot square canvases I experimented with different variations on the underpainting and how this affected the final painting. https://t.co/GOKIn4gv6d

I think a dynamic between Real Alex & Asmodena would be interesting… Maybe something like “antagonist’s henchman who gains sympathy for the victims“ or “100 year old underpaid intern commits ghost harrasment.”

I will try to "find" the skin and hair colors under the influence of the underpainting, add some basic shading

this step is basically just exploring and finding colors that feel right
