PLAYTIME W/ JAKTRAYTER

[devinn]

@tygerson-thank you! Studying is easier when you are actually, you know, studying for something opposed to studying without direction. I'm starting to learn that really helps. Yeah, idk, I was trying to balance the comp by putting the snake along one of the thirds and the cave is suppose to be the snake's grandiose domain. I was trying to give it that impression by making the hero small and the snake large and powerful looking....that was the idea at least. In the emptiness, maybe I can add baby snakes or giant eggs to fill the space...uggghhh something to think about. Thanks for bringing that up, never thought about that (:

@monkeybread- thanks man! Working hard is the name of the game. Damn, you think so? I THOUGHT I prepped and studied enough (thumbs, many cave studies, a 1.5hr national geographic feature on snakes, few studies of snakes iuohmhju9pjimj09u09u)...because I THOUGHT it was a somewhat decent piece. I spent quite a bit of time on just the lineart alone, just to make sure that I wouldn't be rendering a turd-y image. It doesn't show because I am still...developing. It was hard figuring out how much detail I should put in the background and foreground since the snake was the focus of the piece. FUCK, I don't even know dude...I guess it looks rushed because at this point in time, I am either still ignorant of how to compose and render a full illustration, still at a lower level than I perceive myself to be, or a combo of both. Yeah, studying my fundamentals is a given: I just need to work harder and study more efficiently. Take mooore time...

@smrrfette- I...I...I thought it was good ): It looks rushed because I don't know how to make it NOT look rushed haha I spent a good amount of time on all facets of this project...so I guess it's safe to say that my first illustration is not unlike manure for plants, crops, and juicy fruits (: I just need to study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study until forever.
Okay, I'll stop saying I suck :l

Well, when I study anatomy out of a book, it's usually 2-3hrs. When I study portraits or any kind of painting study, my studies are always fixed for 2hrs. My sketchbook stuff from my brainsss are fixed for no more than 1.5hrs. But for this particular piece, I didn't have the luxury to study each reference for 2-3hours, so, I saved a lot of images and studied each for 30mins. After 2 30min studies, I would do 2 30min speed paints from memory, applying the studies from before. I did that at least 2 times. My personal pieces are alwaaaaaaays 10hrs+; if they look rushed it's because I am still...not as good as I would like to be right now, but -sigh- that comes with deliberate practice.

Thanks! I want to start the next objective as soon as possible (:
