Thanks again man!
Ah that's nice to hear, I'm trying to get it into a routine to think about hard versus soft and all the edges. Still, they seem better in my studies, maybe not my imginative work just yet. I found some really nice references for what you're talking about, so I'll se if I can study it later on and analyze it. Awesome to get the problem into my spectrum though :)
Yeah sounds about right! Atleast it's helping to introduce environments next to the characters that I paint, doesn't feel as intimidating then.
Aah great advice once again! That seems to be a really effective way to learn aswell. Since It's so easy to get caught up in a study-fest where you just study something you have no need of using. Atleast in the near future. Will have to try it out for a painting or two and see if I can do it!
Thanks a lot! I'm sure it will go better this time :D
Haha just wanted to show where the mongolian piece was heading before I changed it. Just couldn't get it to work, there was a lot of faults with it too. Listened to the Marek Okon session of levelup and loved how passionate the guy is. Really inspired me to just change the thing if I didn't like it.
One huge thing with this sketch is that it feels very stale. I settled for a bunch of decissions and lost all interest in a way. You just have to decide what you want to do with painting of course, but there needs to be freedom and passion when it moves along and becomes more polished. This didn't happen here, composition was weird from the get go.
And here is what it looks like now instead. I abandoned a lot of the "wants" I had and went with more of what the pieces needed. Not always good to want too much, it will cloud you.
Atleast this is way more fun to paint, still not completely done with the "base", but liking it!
A quick environment inbetween stuff, feels like i'm subconciously inspired by banner saga. Love the compositions in that game.
Hyped up before Nintendos E3 conference, wonky eyes and everything. I still liked painting it.
Cliiiffs! Need more cliffs!
Value study, going to start up a painting.
A quick assassin's creed sketch, started playing Black Flag and it's so much greater than the third game that I almost find it the best in the series.
Thanks again man!
