Hello Steemers.
I was informed that I should post some of my art on here and rather than just giving final pieces to look at I figured I would show a bit of the progress/steps that goes into making one of my creatures.
First I start out with a sketch (using my cintiq). I saw an angry mushroom looking thing in my travels and decided I wanted a little creature that would live on the forest floor.
Then I block in the sections using high contrast colors so I can keep everything visible and still match the lines.
Once I have everything blocked out that I want I color in an environment background with very basic lighting and set the actual colors.
Now I start to add texture and more lighting on both the creature and the background.
Finish it off with extra fine details and more lighting work, tweak some small things and I am done.
