Oh thanks that's really cool to hear. I was afraid that it was looking too cliched actually :P
Yeah the stress won't last, I just need to find a way to cope with it. Gonna pump some iron!

They all say thank you! The barbarians are leading up to something oOooho!
Hmm yeah that actually sounds like a good solution. Then the lineart won't take as much time to clean up, might even keep some of it. I'm going to try it tooonight, so thanks! :D
Don't worry, I didn't do many either :P (1) We shouldn't just paint them to have it done, we should paint to learn the ways of the spoon.
Really nice advice man. You bring up a good point with being able to handle things during certain periods of time. Sometimes it just gets harder to balance everything around you and that's a great mental challenge in a harsh way.
Thank you Jaik, that helped!
Today was a better day. I've noticed that if I jump straight into painted as soon as I've awakened, I'll stay focused for much longer than if I played some game to get going. Next challenge will be to come home supertired and find a structure that'll do the same.
At the same time I think it's good for me to be busier with things. That way the goal of being an illustrator gets stronger in me and I feel that I truly want to paint when I'm in a situation that doesn't allow it. Quite refreshing! The looove is coming back.
The reason I've done a lot of barbarians is because of the Diablo contest. I want to make something cool for it. Trying to figure out what's going to be original, but that felt kind of restraining. So imma paint something that will be fun instead.
Here's an exploration sketch, just wanted to look at armors and see if I could make some mix out of them.
Learned some stuff about atmosphere and how I can bring in the surrounding colors into the character to make him look less flat. I tried doing it mainly in the shadows.
A value-gesture. It's fun to pick a pose that you work on longer after you've done a session of 20 quicker gestures. I recommmmend!

I like staring at people on the bus while trying to remember their facial features. Then draw something out of it. Also fun, but make sure that they don't see you staring. Iz awkward.
Two quicker masterstudies, just trying to copy compositions and color
