Quadrupedal warfare
-
There are a few reasons I vowed to stop drawing on paper – first and foremost being that it's impossible to distribute easily. But I needed something to do while not at home, so here I find myself awkwardly setting up a small desk lamp, using a crappy phone camera then doing a horrible job of colour correction.
(
: so a 2500 or so wide picture gets resized down to 600, but 1200 is fine?)In some ways it turned out worse than I expected, but much better in more. So that's a net positive. It was doing the armour that I could tell it would turn out great; far better than my little concept sketches of a similar idea about a year ago (I've meant to do something like this for a while now).
However, I still really want to start doing at least basic designs in some 3D software, if not a full render, because doing some more exotic relative angles gives me a headache. And then I ended up cropping the end of that front right leg off anyway…

Try getting a bright high-K colour balance bulb for that lamp. That ought to be more like natural light for the purposes of the camera…

I didn't bother with colour correction this time. Or editing out the spiral. Why does this camera always put a red spot in the middle?
You'll note the bold inclusion of a background this time. But I still hate paper. </stream_of_consciousness>

I'm not sure this is better. I desatured way too much, it lost the nice sandy yellowness it had:

@Zecc yeah, while cropping I had a look at some defaults including making it completely monotone. As you say, I actually rather like the yellow.
In essence, goddammit I hate paper

whatever-this-thing-is.jpgHeh. I don't typically name things (naming things is hard; off-by-one errors). I actually do have something to refer to this by, but all you're getting is the default filename – perhaps the one benefit of photography over digital drawing?

"arthropomorphism" sounds way cooler.
I stand by this assertion.
Guys! Guys! I photograph these on a wooden table!!
