My digital comic project has slowed down over the last 4 weeks since I realised I needed more sleep than I was getting. It’s about finding a good balance. I guess sometimes if you want to get to the finish line, you have to slow down a bit.
Tasks completed over the last 4 weeks:
Tasks to be completed over the next 4 weeks:

This is a steampunk helmet digital painting done in Gimp. It is the Standard Issue Suborean Guard Combat Helmet as worn by Sylen Benevolen and Atonis Trogade from my digital comic project.

I’ve been following some more tutorials from ctrlpaint.com. Matt’s tutorials are in Photoshop, but the principles are universal so I have been able to follow them in Gimp.
This one is about painting a glass marble.
I particularly love the coloured refracted light patch in the middle of the shadow, it really makes it magical.
