Archreux: Thank you! Wrist is better, as long as I don't try to draw with my tablet. Now its randomly my back, stomach or head that complains... I think the main culprit was my mouse though, switched to a different one now.
rafa: Oh, those homework things? They currently take me about 3 evenings of planning, thinking and scrapping ideas, then 2 evenings of tearing out my hair and clawing at my face while trying to paint them, and 1-2 days of actually painting them (applying any trick available in my toolset) while crying blood. So in summary a couple of hours each after some "preparation", which is probably not the point of a "thumbnail"... but since I'm submitting those for critique I don't want the instructor to correct stuff that are just due to me working quick or sloppy :/ I wonder how detailed client sketches usually are...
And yes, CGMA. I'll let you know my thoughts about it later.
Jaik: LOL you're right about the tiger! And she's all like "woah I'm bathing go away!". BUT BUT BUT photos have *atmospheric* perspective I can analyze! ...But you're right, thanks for calling me out on that.. you're very good at spotting when I avoid my weaker areas D:
Farvus: Thank you! Glad you like the colors!
pnate: Hahaha sorry about that! At least now you know where to go if you want to learn about avoiding feet :) Experimenting with photos to that level was nice, still not sure how I should feel about it though...
smrrfette: Thank you! I'm trying to not beat me up about it, especially since I watched a talk about how you shouldn't do that... now I'm beating myself up for beating myself up... or something like that :P
chow x2. I enjoyed doing this SO MUCH. Mostly because I allowed myself to go with the flow regarding the design, instead of trying to construct something with lots of research. With the photobashing I feel like I was trying to do what I think might be done in movie concept art to get a more realistic result, time wise it was not quicker than painting it.. just looking more photo-ish than painterly now. However, I still can't get over that feeling of "I didn't do that" and "It's not your work, its just photos", despite the design and everything clearly being mine since I started with a painted base. So... kind of confused :S
Not sure if this one made it in the WIP thread. decisions, decisions!
last batch of thumbnails (I think).
last frazetta for now
tomorrow is a scheduled day off though. visiting some outdoor stuff for my mother's birthday. :)
