Think it would have looked all right with both arms pulled in too, a stretched out arm probably does add that little something though. Guessing the clouds haven't reached all the way behind her where the light is coming from yet? XD
It's a really nice piece, even if you felt a bit slow doing it. Maybe it just needed to be done slowly :)
I don't feel like it's off to a slow start as such, though I am thoroughly disorganised and can't seem to get myself together! And now I'm currently doing gruntwork again (I should probably write or find a script for what I'm doing but as I'm too scared of breaking things, I'm tediously connecting nodes, and currently I'm just hoping that this thing will look all right once all the maps are in place DX)
Actually, as of today things just picked up pace and are moving forward. Some key things are being cross off the list, so I think 2018 has just shifted up a gear.
Well... what I always did with tech/software/programming projects, was duplicate, and then try the risky idea on a duplicate so you won't lose all of your work so far if it blows up.
Remember, always, always, always, BUBYFU! Back Up Before You F*ck Up! =D
I version save probably more than is necessary ;D
As it turned out it was a 5min process exporting to obj from 3dC and importing that into Blender. Which I didn't try the first time as historically obj has only ever brought in the model for me and much more gruntwork was required to smooth it (which I can just click a button for in Blender) and reapplying the damn maps (of which there are about a billion because I ptex textured, which was the gruntwork I was doing with a fbx import previously as it did all the nodetrees for each material but didn't actually do the image map node o_O).
So I spent much of yesterday alternately sulking and admiring my handiwork but at least I can move again ;D
You've crossed off a few key things already, that's awesome! Mybe you'll have a super productive year or maybe the major productiveness will happen early on and you can cruise for the rest of the year if that's a thing you do sometimes :)
Blender is a piece of software that I would like to learn, but that is world in itself. Perhaps I will make time in the future, now I know who to come to for tips. ;-)
Cruise this year? No way, full steam ahead!!!
Full steem ahead? ;D I'm not surprised I feel the same :)
I'm not an expert by any stretch, but am happy to help if I can :D
Full steam and full Steem ahead! ;-)
Don't sweat it, I won't be asking for tips any time soon. Before then, I need to lay my hands on a drawing tablet and get down and dirty with digital drawing on Krita.
BTW, are you running Linux?
I love Krita!
Yep currently running Manjaro with KDE. Does my head in sometimes.
