Hey guiz! Thanks again!
Lurch: Thanks so much! Yeah, I hate it when I get demotivated, but luckily, with your help, and everyone else, I am totally psyched. And I'm also not doing the rooms/environments for this project anymore, so there is a huge weight taken off my shoulders. I'd much rather practice at the mentorship before I put it into an actual project.. Really pleased about doing characters.
Voodoo Ma: Thanks so much, you clever lady! These are great ideas. I'm totally going to try doing a full rendering of something from life, and generally take stuff from life more often-- Photos are, by their very nature, flat. Life drawing is just.. Better. And I've always enjoyed it more than doing it from photos. Thanks a bunch!
dodeqaa: Wow, superb paintover. I sent this to my sister, and she's been working off of it, since it really worked. I'm doing characters now, so I'm not so worried anymore. She's doing way better than I would at this stage, haha. Thanks man.
Murd: Thanks dude. It's a great idea to switch up the mediums-- They are hugely beneficial to changing one's perspective. Also, something I haven't done in awhile is draw with my left hand instead of my right. Helps a lot with accuracy and sight. Unfortunately, my left wrist has been giving me sharp pains, as it does occasionally.. So will have to rest it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making a lot more progress today-- More motivated, feeling more positive. Whew. Glad that dark time is behind me for now-- Thanks to all you lovely folks!
So, I'm finished the first sprite, and he's looking amazing. Putting him next to Gabriel's sprite from the first one, so you can compare.
Also started working on Amit's 3rd assignment-- I've made a lot of progress, but this is DEFINITELY a WORK IN PROGRESS. I still have a lot of work to do on it, and I'm going to spend more time than the last two weeks making it look right for the lighting.
