Kidchuckle WIP Stuff

[kidchuckle]

This is kind of my current project I'm working on and off.
I'm new to the form thought I would say hi.

I haven't done forum posting in ages. not since the early 2000's. but I thought I would try it again to encourage myself to keep busy.

This is my current WIP project.
It started off as a sketch before a root canal. I thought I would try to paint it.

Really good start

[cedricgo]

Haha, I like the character! I look forward to see more

[spyronite]

The contrast of the values look really good. That must have taken quite sometime to render with such detail. Looking forward for more!

[PeterH]

Hehe, delightful. Am I right that its a demon eating ramen?

[kidchuckle]

thanks guys. Yeah it's ramen...
sorry for the slow progress. here's the next part. I'm still playing around with it a little before I work on the colours
I'll probably rework the arm in the back. I feel like its too short. or I gotta change the angle make it foreshorten more forward.

Ran into some emergency. I haven't had much time to update. I manage to change the angle of the arm and working on blocking out those noodles.
but I need to still render out that bicep better.
I was hoping to get more solid time on working on this. but work has gotten in the way.
next week I'll have a better update (I hope)

[kidchuckle]

Sorry it's been a bit of while. I'm still working on this...
I've got most of the colours layed out. I'm still working on the values and saturation balance.

Do I push the glows from the fire or not?

just a quick adjustment.. to see the direction before working it a little smoother

[cedricgo]

I like both versions. Can't you do a mix of both?

Maybe something like having some of the glow at the top, but keeping the darker colors towards the bottom.

[malcom]

I like version B more but like @cedricgo suggestion on how to maybe combine them.

[kidchuckle]

thanks for the feedback.
Ok I tried a mix of both images.

[malcom]

This works really well. Awesome work

[Shia]

This is awesome!

[kidchuckle]

Whoever is in charge of the cubebrush Instagram account I wanted to thank them for featuring me on their page.

If anyone is interested I just documented my process (this is not a tutorial.. just the steps of my process).
thanks again for the feature.
It will encourage me to post more

this is something I started in 2016. And ran out of steam painting it (I guess I wasn't happy with some of stuff going on in there). there's some stuff I want to change and adjust. (especially that arm, it's bugging me. and the leg.. and well.. there's some stuff I want to get to)
it's been long enough and I want to fix it and finish it and move on.

[malcom]

Looking forward to seeing more of this piece.

[kidchuckle]

Slow progress. Been working on it on my free time. I've gotten the arm closer to what I wanted. and starting to smooth up and tightening parts of the form

[kidchuckle]

Not a big update on the painting. Just cleaning up and tightening the forms. I did a little bit on his teeth mouth. and left forearm

I thought I would throw down sketches as well maybe something to paint in the future

[kidchuckle]

@1dtran told me about these cool water colour brushes so I thought I would experiment tonight on some of my drawings. With some combination of Gouache. Wow I'm really amazed how the brushes capture a natural feel to it.

[kidchuckle]

planning to comeback to the troll later this week.
I wanted to get this @beastwreck shape challenge done. since I keep missing his challenges. Lately I've been into a drawing kick and wanted to take a break from painting.
