Cosmic Inhabitant's Sketchbook

I like the treatment of your recent batch of thumbnails. I think the use of 3d in your last piece wasn't made with the right choices in mind of where 3d would best help you. I think there are times to use 3d and times not to, depending on what end result you want. For the most part, the lighting information on basic forms as well as the efficiency in procedural generation, using arrays / modularity  is probably the main reason to use 3d towards a 2d image. So modelling the tunnel, adding lights and maybe a blocky model of the mech would have been smart. Just using a poser model for perspective wasn't enough, which is why you ran into so many issues. I also didn't see a fleshed out lighting thumbnail which figured out what the final would look like beforehand and explains the issues with the final.

If you want to use 3d in your pipeline, and you're aiming for fitting it for commercial purposes eventually, that's fine and there will be a learning curve obviously, but atm your sketch work is far more unique and appealing. Perhaps figure out a general value scheme and thumbnail through painting, then try get the specifics in 3d done to aid you for the final render pass.

In my experience, your 3d based work will suffer directly in correlation to how poorly fleshed out your intial idea was and your current 2d skills in general. 3d isn't a shortcut.

Use that bit of feedback how you will.
