Sea-to-sky Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Ok, since i am making an effort to post the fails too, i was doodling and tried snails. They are odd but im shoving them up. The second one kind of started as the idea of a hermit crab rock thing. Yes it looks weird i agree.( For the record, snails are not my usual doodle animals. I prefer mythicals or things with greater fluididty) 5 Quote the creative spelling comes as standard. Enjoy!

Harriet Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Slug 7. This is one of my favourites so far. I think I got the ripple, and I used a diffuse brush to good effect without making the whole thing fluffy, as digital paintings can be if you don't fight it. 6 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

Harriet Posted February 21 Author Report Share Posted February 21 Slug 8.

I should review. 1 minute ago, Mad Hatter said: you nailed the shiny on the shell! I want to touch it. Thank you! It's smooth, and not just because it's 2D and literally has no texture as a digital painting.

Mad Hatter Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 @Harriet btw I’m still working on my offering, but it’s on the way! Figuring out the colours took forever as I refused to resort to the colour picker. Feel free to threaten me if I don’t get it done tomorrow. ? 1 Quote Link to comment

Harriet Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Slug 9? I went off reference a bit for this one because it was heavily foreshortened and I wanted to show more of the body. I think the ripples are fine but I'm less certain about the lighting. That's okay, lighting is something I want to practice more so it's all good. 5 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment
