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.

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

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

Jul '19

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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.
