|| Cold Coffe || Getting serious with caffeine in my system

[Suira]

Kimonas You're right about the still lives, I gotta get back to doing them....again. I did quite a few in summer, and now I'ma start doing the real boring ones , gotta get all that rendering juice! But my solution to the boredom of still lives is sculpting shit and painting it after that hehe.

Adam Lina Thanks! Hahaha, I don't need reference ( puts on gayest voice) I've seen too many of them up close...real close, and that's why it's so photorealistic xD!

JyonnyNovice Thanks man, funny thing that you bring up the lack of girls, since I'ma switch to chicks for the next stage of ma studies, now that I (more or less) do wrinkly men and tough guys convincingly it's time for a lotta porn and hot chicks....for reference....yeah ..yeah for studies xD I think the hardest part is gonna be faces since I've studied my fare share of boobies but you never know.

Caisne I'm not dead yet, but I almost died when I saw your new stuff, it's too cool to live. Missin the streams man. Oh, and 'm glad you like the add, I'm thinkin of another one portraying a scrotum, with a text that reads: " you need BALLS to let this oportunity past you, HIRE CAISNE" xD

Archreux Thanks man, it's not much, but I think it's important to keep the engine up so you can keep going when you can without losing (too much) time. I still gotta work on my anatomy and my pov's and on chicks, comp , edges, and values, oh and most importantly on JUICE. So much to work on! Can't wait, in theory I'll have internet by the end of this week so it's gonna be awesome. For now I'm still doodling and shit hehe.

Ok, so I got 90% of my studio setup, with a chair and a table a everythang! Turns out there where second hand furniture stores in the hood, where I got a desktop of fine wood for 20$!

Well, I have started sculpting shit, like faces, to have a few models for still lives, and also to see what do I really know about face structure, it's proving t be a both time consuming and fascinating exercise, really recommend it, specially for people like me who are lame as fuck in 3D, cause clay doesn't need you to know the IU to get it going.

I have also been doodling kind of the same shit I uploaded in the previous post, some faces, some characters, and some outright brainfarts, so I didn't bother scanning all that shit.

On the other hand I've started doing some juice studies on the laptop, by juice studies I mean getting stuff in the painting that might not be scientifically real but that our eye recognizes in a painting as possible and which makes it be more pleasant to look at I guess.

Here's what I've done:




Oh, here's an idea for a female character, super cliché but I kinda like it:



This fail made up my mind to get back to studying faces WITH REF xD:


And the first still live from one of the sculpts I did, looks like crap, but whatevs:


That's about it for the day my frands I will start to study somewhat more intensely this week since I only need the internet and a computer screen to be fully setup. Regarding the screen I wanted to as you guys: I'ma spend 120$ tops, do you have advice on what to get or what NOT to get?

In the computer of the cyber my paintings look oversaturated but in the laptop they look fine. Do I need to calibrate? How do you guys see it?

Anyway take care and hopefully see ya soon!
