John CC 1: GoT Game?

[John]

@BrushNoir: Probably metal! Maybe some animal hide. Definitely not chain!
@KurtJeremy: It does make sense, in the way I've seen people do it the way you described. The technique is efficient, fast, and loose enough to even surprise the artist who's working that way.

Here's the big but. I tried to start pieces that way before, and I never got the results I wanted. In an experimental piece, I'd probably go that route to start a piece. But I am hoping to get critiqued and judged with my best foot forward and knowing what I know. And I hope to get the shit kicked out of me at my best from a critique. I don't want to give myself any excuses.

Don't get me wrong, I look up to people who works with shapes and values right off the bat. Are you familiar with Stjepan Sejic? I watch his videos and try to emulate how he does things. It makes we want to chuck my tablet across the room and cry in the corner.

We may disagree with the process but I totally agree with always having a good composition in mind. Judging by my last thumbnail, you are correct. It is not strong enough of a composition. I will rectify that.

Thanks! I will be more mindful!
