Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

LongJh: Yeah, those edges now that I look at them are stupidly sharp lol. I went through a re did it really dodgily with blur filters because it bothered me, but I will look out for them in future enviro's and do it properly.

MrF: Those colour studies are a great idea, I meant to do some of them this past 2 weeks but never got round to it. I think I will try doing them this week. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lyra: Those were my notes. I have seen a lot of people who can just thumbnail and get closer and closer with every one. But I can't do that while holding everything that was wrong with the previous one in my head >.> lol. So I need to write everything down or I just forget where I was going...

Thanks Bjulvar. I thought that too. Way too much texture everywhere but I wasnt entirely sure how to make it look like a cliff without that texture. I think I will work on that too :)

Haven't updated for a while. I had no idea how much effort goes into getting ready to go over seas! Days are just spent running around.. Then doctors dont have the right injections, and they are on back order so I have to drive halfway across the world to get stuck with a needle (I hate needles) such a pain. But hopefully Bali will be worth it.
So I had to pull out of Seans class, and I will be doing it in 6 months time when he runs it again. Between all the travel stuff, and not realising that maybe going from working as hard as I can on a course, to a full time workshop in another country may be a little bit too tough. So that was a bit of a disappointment.

And so I don't have much to show for the last two weeks. A lot of seeing family before I go (it's for two weeks but you would think I am climbing Everest or something...). Such is life..

I redesigned my cliff town image to more what I was thinking of though. Just really quick and rough..


The last bit I could do for the course. Creature design is a really weak point of mine, need to work on it. And I didn't have time to do a proper job on the colours which is a bit disappointing.


Gurney study for transmitted light.


Quick dodgy edge fix lol >____>
