@Neo. Thank you! I have fallen off the figures for a bit while trying to catch up on work, will get back to it. Definitely try the silhouette/clipping layer approach, makes things easier! Love camels :)
Process stuff for recent client piece. Once I had an approved thumb, I used Daz, Blender and then overpainted.
What I realised in this one, is that I don't want to rely on too much 3D except for very simplified layout and lighting, or perhaps for doing procedural replication that is way easier in 3D.
I also definitely want to learn to paint figures properly without 3D rather than rely on it as a shortcut. I had to paint over the whole thing anyway so it was kinda pointless.
I have been in a pretty big exploration phase with my workflow for the last year which I feel has made my work inconsistent and not that good. I feel that this experience has been good for me to realise that I really do enjoy fully painting or mostly painting everything from scratch and I think consistency and improvement should reappear back into my work. So I'm looking forward to knuckling down and seeing where things go now.
