Work in progress of reference for Fairy paintings I'm going to make. Trying to figure out in 3D how would my glowing fae work. Can't really slap a emission shader and call it a day as then you lose all form and everything looks really flat. Tricky problem!

Streams been off for longer than usual!
Been dealing with paperwork and working on a video for an old friend for their upcoming cosplay show.
Hopefully I'll be able to continue art streams normally starting tomorrow!

Here's all 31 from my "Sketchtober" challenge!
I used a prompt for that day from any list I could find that sparked an image in my mind. That way I didn't need to force it so much and be more relaxed about the challenge :)
I also added "best of" to my AS portfolio www.artstation.com/artwork/oJVrak
