#71 - zandalicious (first half)

Added 2020-08-02 06:30:57 +0000 UTC

This is another big project, so I'm splitting it into two again. The second half will be posted real soon so stay tuned!

This commission was originally from Jan. 2019.

This was my first project featuring a Zandalari, and I think I made a great first impression. This particular Zandalari OC had some extra customization requested, particularly around his face. I followed their reference art fairly closely, and I like what I was able to come with. I'm especially proud of those triangular points surrounding his lips. He's also very muscular and wide; to date he's still the most muscular of all my Zandalari OCs. The other Troll was fairly standard in appearance, with a slight belly on him.

As always there are a few flaws. Nothing glaring, just things that I wouldn't necessarily do nowadays because I've learned better techniques or just outgrew certain styles. There's quite a bit of "boring" shots in this project; they're dull and redundant. I think I could've used some spicier poses as well. I may have approached this project a little too conservatively overall since this was my first time with the Zandalari model, and I don't use my Darkspear Troll model that often.

Other than that, I don't have much else to say for this project. It was solid.
