painters have been using physical models as reference for ages, such as with James Gurney's dinosaur paintings, and i've also seen digital painters make simple 3D material lighting references rendered on spheres to colour pick from. i considered making a render of the helmet to get a more accurate lighting reference, but i couldn't be bothered waiting and just used CSP's primitive viewport render instead lol. still i'm very pleased with the result and will probs use this method in future paintings.
inspiration for this came mainly from John Berkey and Cliff Spohn.
for patrons, changes i mentioned in my last post will be implemented by the end of this month, so if i do everything right you will be charged up front for May. once my commission queue is clear, i'll also hopefully be able to focus on project work and posting here more often. thanks so much for your patience and support 🙇

Really incredible work!!!! You continue to find new ways to elevate your work and it’s such a pleasure to see. The colors here a fucking rad. And you’ve managed to get a really different realistic look while it still feeling very much like something that is immediately identifiable as something you specifically created. If I had the money, I’d give you a blank check to create a show/graphic novel of this world and characters because i think it’s really something special.

I can't get over the colors in this! The colors on the helmet glass are SO GOOOD!
