yea. worked on this a lot today, bout 8 hrs... Need to get back to the less is more school tho. Even if this is a simpler more effective comp than I've done before, I feel I could go even simpler on detail and stuff, make the shapes read better. I had a thumbnail earlier that was actually better with the angle than this one.
Also, I tend to use the same tricks over and over, which I'm aware of. It's like uuh, Blue with some teal and some hot highlights, obviously I love doing the white whispy hair, the kinda super hot highlighted white colors, could probably try some different brushes and value ranges for metal stuff or faces. Probably should get a reference for the colors next time, so i don't end up repeating myself, since that seems to be what happens when you just paint off the dome.
Also gonna get back to sketching a lot more since painting is just labor at this point. I wanna make sketches that just feel strong on their own, and don't even need color or even much tone. That just comes with practice, and I noticed I need to pay more attention to the little bones and wedges in things like hands to give some dimension.
