Rabid's Ramshackle of Random Renderings [DIGITAL ART]

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

I finished the "site mockup" and submitted it earlier. I expect low marks, although everyone else's looked rushed as well.
Except for one, which was made with colored pencils and kicked my submission's ass.

And, also, additionally:

placeholder textures because goddamn how do pros do it
EDT- fixed the jaw. will show on next update.

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

because i am smart and stuff, i'm starting another project before the others are through!
maybe i can submit to tsr later


retopo time.
high poly and low poly side by side
with low poly eyes

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

i guess i have to look for a 3d community. *scratches head*

[Sengir]

If tMR grows there's a chance for a 3D sub-community.


also I'm gonna get on blender right now, feeling inspired

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

a lot more added to this, but i'm lazy to reupload:

inspired by "In A Grove" by that one japanese dude who committed suicide

I don't really like how saturated your shadows are, have you ever tried using less saturated shades for that??

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

I've found a new way to vary the skintone, actually. I'll try it with my next one, if ever.

hi im bord

It turns out I've been giving bum advice FOREVER - I was about to tell Slouch off for telling you to desaturate your shadows, but he's right.

This is in MSPaint-o-vision, but it's a nice rule of thumb for colouring: http://www.johnlovett.com/shadows.htm
Your middle values / base colour should be the most saturated; lit areas will be slightly less saturated because light tends to wash colour out, and the shadows will be less saturated - but also tinted, with either the compliment for your lightsource or the compliment for your base colour.

Again, with most things I've ranted about: rule of thumb =!= DO THIS ALL THE TIME FOREVER. It's cool to break rules, provided you know them first

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

man you give great art tips :u

My "solution" just consisted of a new layer with red and purple set to "color".

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

looking promising, but idk

[Lexou Duck]

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]
