In which a charr leaves his cave for his nightly serving of delivery.
I've been wanting to work on my backgrounds some more as they're not quite where I want them. With this, I had a chance to do that and try out new body proportions at the same time. I did some imaginary anatomy to help explain the shapes I saw while I was working with this guy, and I ended up colour coding them to help me identify which spots I wanted to draw the most attention to. Red = "hotter" area, Green = "Cooler" area...WONDER WHAT THIS ARTIST LIKES TO SEE?
I tried out a different way of approaching lighting on this one than I usually do. Instead of starting from flats and adding shading/high lights, I ended up creating a gradient light map that I pulled my flat tones from. I feel like it draws the picture together more and helps ensure lighting remains somewhat more consistent, but it's still too early to tell.
Anyways, there's a pizza box in the foreground and a delivery guy waaaaaaaay in the back. Hot ass in the center.

Thanks Fu! I was having a ton of trouble getting things to look somewhat right since I don't usually draw bulky, so it's great to hear the good news. I read about this colouring strat where you continually resize the image and redraw the highlights and shadows to get more depth in tone, and I'm hoping to try that on this one once things get a bit more rendered- should be interesting to see how it goes :3.
