@Pubic Enemy I'm glad you got the feeling of action in the Sand Worm picture, I always strive for action and interest in my work. I worked up that Sand Bender concept one just for you =), I like it too, it's just weird, and shows what can be done with no reference, not that reference is a bad thing; it's just my preffered method to work where possible cause I can put out my best energy in my work regardless of technical or anatomical issues.
I've been a lazy pos with putting together my drafting table cause I have been going off digitally,lol; the thing is still in a box from getting here days ago, lol. I'm with you on @CBinnsIllustration carving details on that sand worm, I failed to mention that in my long list of things I love about the piece.
The Desert Oracle is looking really good so far and there is a lot of potential here. It's great to see you working digitally. Yes! Deck her out with all sorts of cool accessories, the camera angle and sheer size of the character can really allow you to go off in a great way with detailing and accessorizing her. It's great to see you going digital on this one and if I could give any pointers at all it's that a little bit of color can go a long way, so keep that in mind with the saturation levels in the piece and consider focusing on saturating the areas in which are focal points.
I really like the loose and messy start, I'm a big believer in starting messy and then cleaning it up no doubt. The face has some really good forms coming along in it. Have you ever tried working black and gray and then into color? It can be a lot easier and faster to focus on values first and then work your way into the color. A great thing about values and color is that it doesn't matter what colors you put over the values as long as the values are correct and the form reads right. There is also an intersting amount of negative space in this piece, are you going to occupy some of that space with something? Just curious on the cause. It could stand alone as is putting max focus and attention on that character.
Yes, I try to reply fast to you all and keep the forum on fire, and yes, I'm eclectic in pretty much everything, lol, especially music. I'm really glad you liked that hand coming out of the ground, that I did actually pull some reference on because no matter how hard I tried to wing it, it just wasn't coming out the way I'd like. Haha! I have been destroyed and rebuilt, it's the fine line of carrying like crazy but not at all that creates my attitude today, lol.
@Darktiste I think that is great advice for @Pubic Enemy with the tent idea, I definitely think this would be a great addition to his piece.

Some more noodling and change of scenery, I like working fast and aggressively in most cases especially when I'm well rested and nourished. The concept here is that we got our jolly food and water finding Sand Bender flying around happily enjoying all his resourceful finds, he commands the sands and can consume through taking on forms of the sand which in this case is a skull going for the water at the oasis, while he physically grubs on desert grapes, that he found along his flight,lol. I'm just having fun with this piece and really exploring color with this one along with focusing on shape elements in the work.
