Illustration #110 + rewards, rough sketches, 3D experiment (Patreon)

Here's some more forest themed action for you guys! Decided to paint a scene from a sketch from last year. The greens make me happy. I hope you like it! Our guy here looks nervous about that... thing, but I'm pretty sure he'll enjoy it, lol. Wouldn't you?

Here are the download links for the rewards:

The rough thumbnail sketches I've also included here this time are maybe not going to be used, I'm not really sure. I was experimenting with some stuff there that didn't really turn out how I like. I'm not feeling those right now, but who knows, maybe I'll change my mind later. I'll probably do some new sketches instead over the next few days.

I also messed around with some VR sculpting again and did a rough sculpt based on one of those thumbnail sketches. I'm still trying to figure out if I can feel comfortable using it to block in my scenes. I'm enjoying it, but it seems likely to remain experimental for me for the foreseeable future instead of something I lean into. Substance 3D Modeler doesn't have a camera with a viewfinder, so until it does I feel like I can't plan my compositions as carefully as I want in that software, and juggling multiple 3D software isn't all that comfortable to me. I'm enjoying experimenting and learning new things though, so I'll probably try to make more sculpts and share those!

Meant to have this post up yesterday, but it's been a hectic week so far. 😅 There's a chance I might need some eyeball surgery in the not too distant future, and I figure you guys might want to be aware in case that leaves me unable to paint for a bit. Hopefully it won't, I don't really know yet, but I'll know more in a few weeks. If it'll change my schedule here I'll make sure to keep you updated!
