Day #1
Theme: Peony
Time spent: 3+ hours (I think, I gave up counting after 2)


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Comments: I have no idea how to draw flowers except maybe daisies and it shows. Thank you to the lovely DevotedlyStar for their character.

Things that went well:
- Face and pose came out relatively easily
- CLOTHING FOLDS
- Figured out an almost method for soft rendering

Things to improve on:
- Pretty sure the ears are wonky
- Pose is still a bit out of nowhere (didn't plan the background beforehand)
- Colours still need work, better but not ideal
- USE YOUR REFERENCES WOMAN

Day #2
Theme: Colour palette
Time spent: 1+ hours (drew up a whole other idea before deciding I didn't want to do it for some reason). Stopped as a WIP because I know the hair is going to take me FOREVER


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Comments: Rendering round 2, I like it less this time around

Things that went well:
- Actually like the weird, almost inhuman shine the green shadows and light pink highlights give the skin - idea being of a statue like base with flowing hair
- It was a fun hair shape

Things to improve on:
- Face struggle this time
- Good lord I do not know how to render hair, why did I try this?

Day #3

Time spent: 4+ hours ( crying )

Comments: Need to stop rendering, it muddies up the line art. Until I find a way to cel-render then I have to stop

Things that went well:
- Base sketch came out quite smoothly
- That face render came out pretty well surprisingly

Things to improve on:
- How to render based on the actual sketch (the rendered face is nothing like the line base)
- Left leg is a bit chunky, lacks form
- Got too overzealous with the cheekbone rendering

Day #4
Theme: Jellyfish
Time spent: 4+ hours (clouds took two passes)


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Comments: Sort of like how the clouds turned out in the end

Things that went well:
- Cloud shapes came out alright in the end
- Using palettes as a starting point helps a lot (might make the piece too monochrome?)

Things to improve on:
- Values between jellyfish and clouds aren't different enough I think - especially since they're slightly transparent
- Please draw more resources if you're going to copy paste them so that you have variety

Comments: I'm putting the sketch in as a placeholder cos it's getting super close to the deadline. But I'll finish it up before I move on to the next prompt because I really want to see this done, pretty proud of it.

Things that went well:
- Really like the lighting on the face. It gives it a lot of dimension I think
- Proud of the all the little shelf things, I sort of gave up halfway with perspective (especially with all the books) but I think it was ok in the end

Things to improve on:
- Please look up clothing references and stop freehanding clothing folds
- I don't know if the light is actually right? Probably reference that next time too

Things that went well:

Theme: Hades (the Supergiant game)
Time spent: 3 hours? I think

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Futz together some other poses prior to the one I settled on
User Image


Comments: I saw Hades and I had to do fanart. I hope it counts, even though it's not proper Hades.

Things that went well:
- Pose came together eventually?
- Looks like Zagreus, I'm impressed

Things to improve on:
- Less stiff pose
- Hopefully some more perspective in the future (this was supposed to be worm's eye)

Theme: Art request (Kashikun Reborn)
Time spent: 1-2 hours

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.



Comments: WIP for the most part. Wanted to do a mid transformation to half wyvern. So... I guess that'd make him quarter wyvern at that point? Is that how it works?

Things that went well:
- Didn't even have to draw over the reference pictures to fix anatomy
- Musckles

Things to improve on:
- More figure drawing
- Somehow still stiff

Comments: The goddess of victory, Nike. The plan was to do it in the portrait style that Hades uses, but uhh... no time today. Got my work cut out for me on Day 20

Things that went well:
- I like the laurel wreath?

Things to improve on:
- That left arm is... somehow still wrong
- Face angles
