Feels good to remind myself of things that made it out of the “never done” pile.
Roman god Mars jumping over a pile of bones holding a spear. While a wolf charges ahead of him. Roman god Neptune riding two dolphins in the ocean while holding his trident.  His hair and the ocean water flowing behind them. A stylized representation of a panther standing in front of a solar eclipse the red glare turning the ground and the sky purple and orange. 3d modeled Chess Piece of a queen. Modeled and textured in blender.

Felt like playing with a quick portrait.
Fast lines, thick grey’s and blobbydeebloorbs.
I don’t think Edgar Poe has anything on these sad eyes.
#portraitstudy shapes and values.

Oh my word….….that is insane.

Are you playing like you’re an assassin with a bow, walking quietly through every space, and tucking around corners and behind trees looking for the perfect headshots?

Most of what they try to push hard in all beginner art classes are shape relationships. For likeness I imagine it has a lot to do with that.

Having cut my own hair and shaved my partners hair for the last 6 years this is incredibly apparent when you start trying for things like tapered edges. Your mind is transported into the 4th dimension.

Given the chance, most people would tear down the world for someone they lost, and someone they love, real or not. The moral dilemma topics in Arcane s2 are exactly correct, and we see them all around us.
I only wish there had been one more episode per Act. I felt pushed along, instead of guided.

I have flown too close to the sun…..

Also to be fair to, the reference you used is gloomy.

Just running two screenshots through procreate.

Multiply with increased Saturation and slightly increased brightness on the left.

Just a color dodge on the right.

Random Wow image I found online for comparison of coloring.

You’re literally right there, all the colors are in there.

You don’t need to take notes, lol. Just treat it like it’s the food you made before. Even if it’s metal it’s still eye candy.

Video game/cartoon look likely uses higher saturation and medium contrast. I’m usually punching up the saturation and balancing with the contrast a bit with my renders. Blender has a free layer comp editor on the addons/extensions page I keep meaning to look at. Nomad has sliders in post-process.

I told my partner about the nasolabial fold, and I think she is disowning me.
zmeowmeowz.bsky.social
That would be entirely hypocritical of me. I wouldn’t dream of it. We all turn into small children when we see pretty. 😁

Playing around using array to generate random distribution of points. Sort of like geometry nodes. Remesh and smush up a cloud thing.
Also, #3dstudy using free magneto model as ref. Hits different to have an actual 3d ref to guide. Didn’t follow exactly, need to keep it my take. #nomadsculpt

It’s also good to practice looking away from your computer every now and again. Looking across the room every 20-30min trying to focus on something farther away, it won’t fix your eyes, but it could help keep them working better a bit longer.

Absolutely lovely hair decisions. Great shapes.
zmeowmeowz.bsky.social
Thank you!
I’ve been keeping an eye on an expensive blender hair addon for about a year now. Hoping it will have a small markdown at some point. The price is justified in his case, but I can’t justify the expense for hobby purposes.
This was one of those moments I really questioned myself though.

Apologies, I realize I worded this poorly. He has free stuff, however most of it is paid. Anything about painting as far as I can tell is paid.
zmeowmeowz.bsky.social
I can’t think of a colorist that does classes, but Marc Brunet has some free stuff over on cubebrush.co/mb including painting. He sells a lot of stuff too, but I‘ve never bought anything, so this isn’t an endorsement, it’s just I love trying to solve these type of questions, and his YouTube is fun.

It doesn’t matter how much you have or haven’t done yet if you haven’t learned to be kind to yourself, so if your inner voice is being cruel, sing it a song. Sing it loudly and make that inner voice sing along too.

The coloring on his eyes is really great!
