CGMythology's Sketchbook

[cgmythology]

Thanks everyone for their input on the sketch, made some changes to the fabric for a more natural look.  I've been working on the image and I'm calling it done for now, as I'm not entirely happy with it. I think I'll rework the image from the beginning in the future and try out a new character design and lighting setup, we will see.  Below is the current and final update for this image:




Next up I wanted to illustrate something for the holidays, something a bit simple and within my comfort zone so here is Santa!  




Finally I decided to start on a new personal project.  I got the idea from this out of nowhere so I wanted to sketch it out as soon as it inspired me.  It's drawn mostly from the imagination although I did use photo references to help me with the hands.  Overall I'm quite pleased with how the sketch turned out and wanted to hear feedback specifically for this sketch in particular before proceeding with color, so any input would be greatly appreciated!




Lastly I also wanted to thank everyone who has supported me with their constructive feedback throughout the years, I learned tons and have a stronger portfolio as a result, so I'm truly grateful.  Please enjoy the holidays and have a great new year as well!

Hiya George, Long time no see. You continue to develop! Loving all the amazing art you've posted since I last looked in.

Lovin' the last alien idea your working on just above - and queencastle and oracle on page 53 are excellent. You continue to push your lighting very well and oracle has very pleasing color and lighting.

Hope you have a fantastic 2026!!!

darktiste:  Thank you, much appreciated!  Great advice as well, I'm doing a lot of studies traditionally to improve on my fundamentals, so hopefully it'll pay off!

Crowbit:  Thank you for the kind words.  Glad to hear I've been productive as well!  Hopefully I can keep pushing forward this year as well with more illustrations!

Jephyr:  Thank you kindly!  Glad you enjoy the 'oracle' image as well, had a blast bringing it to life and learned a lot in regards to light with that one.  Hope you have a great new year!!

Hope everyone had a great New Years!  Found some time to work on the alien image and pretty much finalized it.  Pretty pleased with how it turned out.  Of course there's still some time to tweak it further if necessary, so if something feels off please let me know!  Below is the current progress followed by the steps for those interested:
