peak update

you know every couple week i should give myself at least a half day off so i can get away from drawing for at least a few hours.  because when i come back i am able to do more

forest zebra

i'm going to print this out and paint over it like the skulls i posted yesterday.  next i will use this blend scene as a base for that full 3d folio i promised.  i am going to test rendering in both Cycles and Eevee to see which gives the best finished product....i think it will probably be cycles but that is going to take a lot longer to render.

behold Sil

oooh boy there were a few problems with this one.  not super difficult, just tedious to fix.  there were a few holes in her geometry that i had to fix and some vertices that were out of place but i managed to patch them all up and re rig the whole model adding teeth and eyes....and i forgot to give her a tongue well that is next along with the weight clean up

Mar update

my copic markers and watercolor pencils came in today and i started making color swatches.  i must say i really like both mediums. 

after the swatches i will study how well they mix together.  once i am confident in the mediums i will make some folios with all my mediums (that can be used together)

Sil....found from the depths of Hard drive folders

one of my supporters, Angel, asked for a commission....aaaaand after a few memories popped up i realized i never finished this particular 3d commission.  very embarrassing.  so i will finish it and give him a few sketches since i messed up.

the rig will be the easiest part to finish since i just need to use my naga models for the base rig.  the texture might take a while since i need to first make sure her UV maps are good and fix them if need be, and she is a BIG model, ...

pin head

i found a bunch of stylized base meshes in my folders.  they had i nice simple cartoony proportions to them so i rigged one up to see what i could draw over it. these will be great for my imitation "Darkest dungeon" style as is but i need to push my line work if i want to get anything more cartoony

Chronicles of Mar: Chapter 1. The Chase

it will be slow going but if i never start Chronicles of Mar i will die before his story gets told.  i know enough about mixing 2d and 3d skills to get everything to look the way i want it to and the color confidence to not have to rely on textures.  i am even thinking about coloring it traditionally. i will only work the pages up to this sketch level so it will be easier to change when i get feedback.

also this will let me get out a page at least every other day without putti...
