At request of a freind
Model: A decent book
A model put together this afternoon. Texturing it in both ‘poses’ is going to be Fun. Potentially saleable when done though, so that’s nice.
Digital Art: Now with gradations!
Some significant changes, focusing on the head area today
Kinda unhappy with the jawline now, will have to see what I can do about that. And the neck continues to give me fits.
Digital Art: Today a torso, tomorrow the world!
Overall, I’m going about this in all the wrong way. Ideally I should be making myself do a ton of quick figure studies of various things, and if I do a full long work, I should do the full figure more or less all at once and not a piece at a time like I have been, or playing around with clever layering in photoshop or whatnot. However! Getting comfortable with the tablet and photoshop and everything is important, and generally, while a lot of people have told me how I should be doing things and certainly will again in the future, if I have to make myself stop instead of having to make myself start, I figure I’ll get good eventually, instead of getting good really fast, eventually, when I get around to it. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, oh well.
Maybe next time, she’ll get arms! Also, some accidental hotkeying desynched some layers, making some uglyness that’ll be a pain to fix around some edges. Didn’t notice until long after it was too late to easily undo. Guess thats the danger of layers.
Digital Art: Some more
Yay, I managed to work on the same thing two days in a row again!
Digital Art: Something Else
I hate my tablet a little bit less tonight.
With a little luck I’ll be revisiting and revising this in the days to come.
Planning sketch: Recruitment
Tablet is frustrating. I did this sketch better with a pen and notepad in the back of a moving car. :\
Digital Art: Breadbasket
The first general attempt at the first part of a scene I’d like to illustrate.
.
The craft.
I learned my lessons in a past life.
Monsters come out at night.
I found a seaside cave in my first game while wandering around in the moonlight.
A giant spider came out and ate me.
This time I found a cliffside and dug a hole in the side of the cliff, then bricked it up with a tiny window far above me as night fell.
Now I’m sitting in pitch dark, watching out the window as stars slowly pass by, waiting for it to grow light again.
Outside I can hear footsteps, and the moans of waiting zombies.
It’s snarling.
It’s right outside my window.
I hope zombies can’t dig.
I wait it out. The sun rises. I emerge and see the zombie fleeing, set afire by the sunlight.
It is safe in the sun.

I have built a deep fastness where trees grow in naught but the light of everburning torches, I have explored to the depths of the world, I have built bridges in the sky and cut flamelit tunnels deep into the mountainsides. I have taken wood grown in the darkness and metal ripped from the earth, and with my hands crafted shining armor and a golden blade.
Ah, so this is Minecraft.
Sculptris: Taiidani lizard-dog
Today the fantastic Riess drew some new studies of this beast, which are pretty delightful, and shared below.
Based on these, some potentially unfounded concerns about mesh topology, and a general desire to keep experimenting, I started over! I may go back to the previous mesh, which I kept on hand, but for now, this is what I’m going with.
