This is enough to get some paint on!
Will be painting it digitally just so I can play around with some of the colours. This scanner has been great so far!

Doing a little sketch of the Great Unclean One. Always a go to doodle subject!
#pencil #art #warhammer
I can't afford the model, so I just end up sketching them and will likely (digitally) paint this one up! Nurgle stuff seems way fun to paint.

Waves - Soft Pastel on paper.
I am trying to hone in the scanner for the slight impasto of the pastel on paper. Some bits are out of focus. It's not too bad here.
And older piece. Enjoyed making it though! Love the sea.

I wish older European and South American comic artists had newer editions of work that weren't quite so hard to get hold of.
Some of the work from the 50s and 60s is incredible and could fully inspire a new wave of artists, but quite hard to recommend as they are all in expensive collector's stuff.

I took a paneling class in college that changed my art forever, helping me storyboard better.
This will just stunt growth. It's an illusion pf opportunity.

'World VFX day' should be an opportunity to truly try to improve sustainability and longer term lifetimes for staff at all levels Vs 'things are picking up' , 'lets pencil you in' and survival of the richest.

Bought a scanner and finally might have an affordable way to get some of my pastel landscapes (and various other art) for sale!
Just having fun learning how to get the most out of it at the moment!

It's been four years coming, but it's finally done. On to the next one. Hopefully it'll be a bit quicker.

More UK games layoffs. Absolute joke. Investors feel clueless and just want magic money.
I get people having enough and selling their company on/getting acquired, but you know what's going to happen in roughly 18 months after it.
UK has some great talent, but it's getting absolutely wasted.

Steaming trying to push you either ads or another piece of content before the credits start fully rolling is gross.
Remember people work on this content you watch and you can make it as well.
