  • Oh wow! Impressive that you did this on the fly!

    I feel you on wanting to make things straight from your head, it feels closer to art as a mode of creative self expression.

    I have found though, that visual planning and collecting references (even if it’s just like, the color of light from one painting, the texture of an ancient piece of pottery, etc. ) actually gives you more opportunities to be creative and helps build a visual library in your mind that you can draw from in the future. It is a lot of work, though, and feels like it slows you down at first.

    Maybe you can try it and see if you like it?




  • Great job!

    I like the volumetric lighting (at least, I think that’s what it is?) I feel like it was always tricky to get right - at least, when I was working in Maya back in the day.

    I do feel like the blue light is a little bit aggressive, and wonder if there’d be value in adding some more saturated colored lights to give some depth? Depends on the concept art, obviously. I’m curious - do you mind posting the reference you’re working off?
