Rumble in the Jungle - VI (Complete!)
🕑 Added 2019-11-14 07:51:31 +0000 UTCYEP you read that right, this is what I'm calling complete! And what a gosh dang big journey it's been. To show the progress from last week's update check this link:

The last steps of putting in lighting and water effects, textures and all wasn't so arduous or time consuming, though altogether I think this piece has totaled to around 25 hours now. It takes a whole lot to go from a greyscale shaded sketch like this ->

To a fully colored and rendered piece like what you see here. Now, of course, no picture is perfect, no matter how many hours you put into it. But there comes a point you have to put the tablet pen down and call it done! I am pretty happy with how it's come together and that I pushed myself to accomplish it. I've developed a process to tackle images like this and it's worked, a picture like this needs lots of planning, just as it needs execution.
It seems like once a year I work up the gumption to do such an involved piece, but I should do it more often. With that in mind, I am curious about what I'll do next at this sort of level- maybe another splash 'rework'? Maybe I'll jump to doing one for one of my own characters?
Anyway! Thanks for your time reading about my thoughts on how this turned out and joining me along the way. Don't be shy on commenting! Any thoughts or questions about the process lemme know.

AAAhh thanks so much dude, I super appreciate the support and comments!! <3
This is amazing It turned out great I'm actually really glad you finished it and I can't wait to see what you make next P.S I like to see what you'd do with a splash art of one of your characters or your sona himself sounds really interesting But anyways Nice Job!!!!ππΎ
The people from the art department of Riot are sweating cuz they all know this piece is incredible!!!!! But you know what, I know you can go further beyond so all I can do is to encourage you to surpass this ^^

Geheheh, the ultimate amount of cheek on that expression for sure. x3 And thanks!! It's always tricky to figure out how to make something look like it's made out of a specific material, but I was happy with the wood texture too.
Lookit that cheeky little guy! I really like how the wood on the mech turned out.
