Shading WIP, and a bad news

I'm testing a new method to find forms. Seemingly it's more easier to maintain control of forms on a higher res & bigger display. But it also leaves some new obstacles for me to get used to.

Here's one example of recent tests:

In the left part, I tried to 'design' the shading in very limited and light values. I don't actually 'render' forms until I'm satisfied with the design.
In the right part, I apply some soft values and adding more smaller forms. Apparently the value is still simplified but I actually get the ideal form I wanted, and the shadings are blended well with soft values, which means it's easier for further detailing and finalization.

And here's something off-topic. Recently I get PM telling me someone is importing my ALL patreon content to a disturbing website called yiff.party. Which makes my all PAID-ONLY content become public and free, even including all attachment and comments. Yiff.party is truly something hitting the new low for attacking fanart market and even try to milk our effort for money. I'm trying to collecting my thought about this horrible issue and will make a post only talking about it, maybe a couple of days later.

The reasons I add text on top image:

To warn the importer and whoever get my paid-only content for free that this is not acceptable by the content creator.
To inform whoever get my paid-only content for free that I need financial support to create more.
To see if the importer is a bot or a real human. I may not get anything confirmed this way, but at least I tried.

I don't want to bother my patrons who truly want to support me, and adding a warning text on every of my post seems like a bad idea. Anyway I'll see how it goes. You can comment below if you know there's any way to against importers and yiff.party.

(請從附件下載未上字的版本，我會在後面解釋為何要上字)

這陣子都還在適應新的設備，某方面的作業變直覺了，但在細節整理等步驟、似乎還是用原本的設備作業比較方便。這張正在嘗試用新方法(或者說修正以前的方法)慢慢用簡單的灰調框出想要的型體。

類似方法的測試結果如下：

左邊步驟--用非常淡的灰色去抓型體的暗部(未受光的部份)，假如整理出來的型體不夠美觀，或看起來不夠立體，就一定哪裡有問題，要修正到滿意為止，切勿在確定造型設計完成之前就進入下個階段(渲染)。此外盡量控制自己避免去處理過度瑣碎的細節、或是幾乎觀察不到的調子。
右邊步驟--簡單的渲染(rendering)和補上一些較鎖碎的塊面，大致上的造型都已經在上個步驟確定了，所以這階段的渲染不管怎麼亂塗都不會讓型體崩掉。且上一個步驟就已經將暗部的分佈考量進去，在將亮部與暗部融合時看起來也會自然得多。

然後來解釋下，為何本po的首圖要上字？

我最近才知道，有人將本專頁的所有付費內容，包括附件與留言，全數上傳到某域名為yiff.party的網站上，供人免費直接觀看我所有放上來的內容。最令人髮指的是yiff.party從2015年存活到現在，公然聲稱他們不在乎這些創作人的權益，他們甚至提供管道為這種侵權服務收取款項。可惡到一種前所未見的程度。我目前還在整理一些想法，可能隔幾天會再發個公開po討論這件事。那麼我張貼這些文字的用意為何？
