Slow but steady progress is being made! I've been working at a relaxed pace now that I don't have any school related deadlines and I'm taking my time with this project, working on it as a passion project more than anything else :) Since the last update I've been getting into photoscanning for materials, as well as getting to experiment more with trimsheets thanks to the Beyond Extent solo challenge last month! As trimsheets are quite new to me I really started seeing all the pros of it, and looking forward to developing my own trimsheet further during the course of this project.
I've also gotten a bit more into rock sculpting, trying out some new techniques by Phil Stoltz using scan data to help bring out more details while at the same time doing it fast! Although it's an effective method, I need more time practising as I'm a bit rusty with my rock sculpting.
Since last time, I've also made "a few" updates to my reference board! I felt that I needed to expand it with a bit more references, both in terms of real life reference, but also art direction wise. It took a while but now it's done and I can get back to working with a much clearer idea of where I'm headed!
Finally I also went over the composition a little bit, breaking the shapes up to add more interest in the scene as well as improving the flow together with a few new shapes, guiding the eye a bit more towards the top.
That's all for this update, see you in the next one!
