Awesome work-- Great to see this rule being applied to art. If you feel like you're running into a slump, listen to music and rock out. :D

Bookend - That genuinely helped. When you posted that, I put on headphones, zoned out to music, and just sketched around having fun for a bit. Felt much better afterwards. So thank you :)

WIP - Maybe I'll keep working on it, maybe not. Not sure I've approached it quite right

Mayenla - Thank you :) Glad you liked the tutorial, I've not really done much of that stuff so I wasn't sure how it would come out. Cheers.

Bookend - Yeah, definitely. It's such a good community on here, and online in general. Really helped me for sure. Shall do, cheers man :)

Sweet art! Painting over pictures from trips is a really fun idea I now wanna try next time I go on a trip. The 10000 hour goal is really inspiring and awesome to see.

And working on a set of Astronaut designs.
1. The jumpsuit for floating around in a ship/spacestation.
2. The suit + mask for exploring on a planet with an atmosphere, but without breathable air.
3. And the EVA suit for spacewalks and stuff.

ZombieChinchilla - Cheers, glad you like them :)

Wow, it's been way too long. Updating this got away from me a bit. Client work got a little crazy, then I had interviews for a fulltime position, which I start on Monday! :) Exciting stuff :)
