Updates & Environment Pack Theme Vote!
🕑 Added 2024-05-25 12:00:11 +0000 UTCHiya.
Just wanted to give an update on some interesting posts and give you some options on the next Environment pack that will be out this month!
First, I've made a few new Creative posts this month + there will be one more very soon + I'm planning to do them more regularly! It's not tutorials or how-to series, it's about problems that I've had with certain concepts and designs and art in general. I'm trying to be honest about the struggles that I had, so it may be interesting to see and read. After all, nothing good and pretty is easy to make and that's OK!
Biggest settlement I've painted - Navuria City and problems that I had (and you may have) with this scale. A lot of work, a lot of prep work, and a lot of things to reflect about.
Magic School Process and Details Problem is really interesting. With this painting I've made an extra step on details for this scale, and how it was challenging and uncomfortable at first.
Drawing Three Environment Packs is about me figuring out the level of details for the small and pretty environment packs that I've done last month. Just drawing, no color or light (please wait for this one).
Calem City, from line to finish (upcoming) - finally I'm showing my lighting and painting process. It's not perfect, it needs optimization, but the work is done and the result is great!
I'm recording almost every painting I do now, so you can expect even more painting videos and Creative posts!
Also, there are new painting videos! And as a bonus, Master Tier and higher get access to them a week early.
And now, let's move to voting!
Well, I really like how Environent packs are looking and can't wait to do more. And there will be one by the end of the month!
It will be unusual though.
You will vote for the theme, and on my Instagram as a celebration of 20k followers I'll do some additional voting for what exactly this pack will have (what terrain/building/feature/mood/etc.) So please follow and look for my stories!
UPD: I've decided to make 2 packs this month, so let's take the result of this vote for one pack and I'll make a few polls on my Instagram page about the details and theme of the second one!
Let's choose the theme for the new Environment pack!
