I appreciate the response. And I see what you mean. I think I’ll figure it out by the end.

Been drawing most of the day. Changed the composition a little bit.

I know I’m a little slow. And do things way differently than most artists, but I’m enjoying this so far. Like I said its a slow process. Piece by piece its coming together. I’m almost positive i can finish this within the month.

Don't worry there's nothing bad at taking your time, and if you enjoy it it's amazing ! ^^
Do you paint all the textures by hand ?

Both yes and no. Some are a predefined brush. While others were done manually. A lot of the textures are a mixture of both.

I’m trying to keep a balance of armor detail and “shell”. Organic and man made i guess. Ive also always been a fan of light and dark. Good and bad. Sword and shield type stuff.

Ow ouki, that's really cool. Your materials and textures renders are very solid !

Thank you. To be completely honest this is my first real in depth drawing digital. So it's a learning experience for me.

i had a few other projects to work on so this process is going slow. I should be able to focus more of my attention on this painting here soon.

10 days later

slowly working out the details. I’m changing my approach to the waves. This has definitely been a learning experience for me.

every thing was a little too much vibrancy wise so i toned it down a little bit. Getting closer to the end. Im going to have to cram the next week.
