Hello, first time I contribute something here.
I am recently learning zbrush/classic sculpting and oilpainting, which helps a lot to be open minded in terms of workflow and problem solving.
smudge ... smudge everywhere = here I try myself at some edgecontrol practice, so just a tiny bit of the painting to demonstrate it, it is still pretty messy, but locking everything down to being "sharp" is not necessarily a good thing for everything.
symmetry...symmetry everywhere.
Very cool thing if you want to create pompous ruins without relying on photos too much, takes only a few minutes to set this up and is a lot of fun. I like to work smart when suitable.
Or just paint everything.. this one is a warmup painting from a month ago, taken a little bit too far for the purpose. I do not like the titty armor and the pose is terrible. Good blog-grave material eh ?
