Sketch with basic color layout and painting of a man in a grey background.

Day 14, Color study and portrait practice. Those first color selections are as fun as they are scary.

A vampire girl with a lot of opossums, she has pink hair and a dusty fancy old dress.

I was thinking about this little sketchy painting, I think I should do more of these fast little pieces for fun. 👻

Painting and sketch, portrait of a young woman with freckles in a grey background.

1 hour portrait practice, but I painted on the wrong layer there at the end. I'm still using a saturated color as a base, this time I was mindful of following the volume of the face with my brushstrokes.

Sketch and painting practice of a portrait.

Another little 1 hour skin color study but trying some bolder colors as a base.

Hahaha no shade taken! 😜 my supporting skills are not great by any standards haha. Can't wait to see the full print! Its a massive beast!

Hey Gang! I could not be more thrilled to step behind the screen for Campaign 4 of Critical Role, and cannot wait to share all the amazing things me and this incredible team have been cooking up for you! 🐲⚔️🔮

Oh no! Ill check them over an reupload. Thanks for the heads up!

My take on a rust dragon! I wanted to make it similar to the rust monster... but you know, a dragon hahaha.

Print looking great!

Working on printing out this rust #dragon from @axolotegaming.bsky.social

The wings and base are printing on the other printer, should be done tonight.

Hey! You probably can! I am mostly self-taught. I went to three zbrush classes from a course i didn't finish (didn't like the teaching style, so I dropped the course and continued on my own). Took a loong while, but I enjoyed the journey ha.

haha thanks! :D first one was a direct lift from the Behir, so I guess the cool design helped me a lot, other one was more my creation (still inspired in the Behir/ Beithir monster)

Then and Now (2022 ha)
I guess I have improved a bit, still working on getting better, need to get back to fundamentals and really dig into animal anatomy/ details to really get to the next level.

The big hunt begins, the hunger beckons...

Almost a month ago, I took @paulscottcanavan.com mentorship program. I spent two months working on this piece, it is by far my favorite digital work to date. If you are looking for ways to level up your skills check out his mentorship!

Actually got him all done up!

(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para6 graph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof 7 may enforce any law or regulation regulating artifi8 cial intelligence models, artificial intelligence sys9 tems, or automated decision systems during the 10- 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment 11 of this Act.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

That is my go-to technique usually for dragons/ dinos. Alphas to fill out general regions then single-scale brushes for more control and hand sculpted where needed to look better.
Looking great btw!

UNIANIMOUSLY!!!

Hasbro laid off the team behind its virtual tabletop app only weeks after it was released Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast has laid off the majority of the team behind Sigil, its new virtual tabletop experience.

“Hasbro didn't know the difference between a video game and the VTT (virtual tabletop) app it ultimately got.”

Excuse me, what? 😮

The incomparable @deepomega.bsky.social crafted the title sequence, 3D models by @axolotegaming.bsky.social, w/ music by Colm McGuinness. It's the most ambitious title sequence I've ever produced and they CRUSHED IT. All the Foundation, HotD, RoP vibes. All epic stories spanning across centuries 🙌

It was so incredible to see the final thing :D its always fun to see how it all shapes up and thank you as always for letting me be a part of it. My jaw dropped at what the opening looked like.

Big ol' blue, coming in hot!
