If I could suggest one thing, generally I enjoy seeing a strong effect of light and shadow where things really feel like light of a certain color is hitting them, or that things are really in shadow. It adds a lot of mood to pieces. Your WIPs have a lot of different, fun lighting situations, but there's definitely more that could be done to push the lighting further so the warthog piece really reads as sunset, or the grim reaper piece really feels like lantern light for example.
Would just be nice to see you push that since I think you favor more general, diffused lighting for characters.
Thank you so much!!
You are so right — I do tend to go with diffused lighting a lot.
Though, as I mentioned to Dark I do take all criticism and suggestions to heart — and even if it doesn't show up in each next piece I always have it in the back of my mind.
So I will continue to push value and lighting and HOPE that will become evident down the road with future work I post.
In fact, Dark's and your comment have lit a fire under me to finish the Reaper piece asap — and I plan to push the values and lighting as much as possible on it and the warthog etc.
BTW — it's very helpful to consider how you put it "effect of light and shadow where things really feel like light of a certain color is hitting them."
That helps me process the concept!
Thanks again!

So I'm going add a link to a video I did last year and never posted here before.
Krita has an feature to time-lapse capture each session automatically in their current version.
Please let me know if I should do more of this kind of thing (because it'll take some hard-drive space and time to edit it together).
This one is just 1-2 second fades between images (more of a flip-book so to speak) rather than a time-lapse and FWI the music is loud so adjust yer volume thingy:

Oh — and is there a way to embed Bitchute videos on CD. I've tried a dozen different ways and no luck.....
