NS is boring, fieldcamp was horrible and there`s always never enough time.
Haven`t had the time to do some posting in a while, what with confinement and my new Wii. There`ll be more stuff in two weeks, I swear!
I`ve got my Sit Test in the coming week and will be suffering confinement, so not much to be updated during the next update.
Got a little carried away with my other stuff, so I don`t have time to finish this one. I`ll continue it next week and complete it.
I`m in the fecking army, so most of my bookout time is spent sleeping or going out. Not much time is really devoted to painting or drawing. Will bloody fix that damn soon, though. I expect a sketch, painting or something at the very least this weekend!
Anyway, I`ve been thrown to Hawk Coy, platoon 4, section 2, bed 12, ie H4212. Our PS told us the H either stands for Heaven or Hell. And suay suay my PS happens to be the most garang and chiongsua one in the entire company[shiok lah!]. I feel my manliness climbing everyday. ;D
Sorry for the lack of a proper update guys, I swear there`ll be something full and proper by latest this weekend[proper being with at least a sketch or drawing!]
ALRIGHT, TIME TO GO TO ARMY, TIME TO MAN UP.
See you all in 2 weeks!
And I realised that there`s a spelling error in the image in the last post. Suck it!
Took a break off working on the baltan and did a portrait study today. I chopped this up in an hour or two, more or less drawing off my reference. I want to improve my portraiture!
More or less sums up my feeling about NS, though it`s totally different from my current mood. God damn!
Yet more updates of the BALTAN SEIJIN! This time it`s a minor leg and bg update!
As per yongming`s advice, I`ve finally decided to[and about time] block out colours! this time I blocked out the bg`s colours. Fixed a little perspective errors, did some colour and lighting stuff. More to come!
I taking time off the painting and doing something different for a while! More sketches!
This one I did today is less on action and more on narrative. Someone suggested I should try to compose my sketches better, and I tried to make it tighter, more drama and more narrative about a conflict between two fighters ^^
I`ll try to get more progress on the Baltan tomorrow!
I went to the Nationals today to take a look, and I was quite inspired by the fighters there. Some of them fought superbly and it was pretty cool to their bodies move into extreme poses and shift their weight around.
I went home, pulled up photoshop and did some quick sketches with reference from a few photographs I found. I played abit with their balance and found this to be a really interesting exercise with balance and how it affects the weight and force of the character!
Yes, I`m still alive! Sorry for the delays, and thanks for your continued and faithful support, Yongming! You are my favourite reader[and probably the only one as well]!
Not having much progress with the painting, having a little problems figuring out how to paint the legs/achieve a similar look as the reference I have. Also another reason for the lack of updates is that my own leg got injured as well, heheheh.
I`m also thinking of re-doing the Baltan`s right pincer. Right now, it looks pretty retarded. The shading style is somewhat of a comic book kind of pattern and it looks really out of place here.
Okay, gogogo! I`ll finish this painting!!
There`s no end to my updates! I`ve taken forever to do this one, and I`m still not done yet. BUT I SEE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL! I WILL FINISH THIS!
I`ve added yet more stuff to it. Bad workflow from the start, should have flat coloured the Baltan before I went crazy with added the details. But since I`ve already gone down that path, might as well go on it. But next time I`ll do it like you said, Yongming! ＾＾
This Saturday`s my last chance! I must do something!
