It's been a long time :)

Haven't updated this blog for such a long time.

So, what's happen:

- two new pieces for Zodiac War board game:




- Some figure practice

- Quick portraits for personal DnD project:

- And 3D! :) finally

So, I opened Zbrush, raged and closed it, opened Blender, even made a doughnut! :D
Seriously, Andrew Price is a great teacher. Some of his tutorials on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2CfvJqS-h6o6CJCd2ykWooBIahuL38q1

I am really pleasantly surprised how clear his explanations are. As an ex-teacher I just adore :)

Some useful links for Blender and 3D:

Will it actually be any better... ever?

I don't know why but I have real problem with finishing images, like some kind of mental block or something. All is good, concept is already agreed and accepted, but no, somehow i need to change everything and start from the beginning, it could last quite a long time, during that time i hate myself, depression gets worse etc etc...

Maybe i need study more, even more than now.. then how? maybe it is wrong way of studying? aaaaaa, idk i would be glad if someone could help

One masterstudy this time:



Such a great light and colours! Original painting by Daniel Gerhartz (supposedly, I could not find the artist of the original stunning work..)
