I am the n00b formerly known as shoe. I, er, lost my password and for some reason unbeknownst to me, can not get the password reset email to go through. I even tried contacting CMON, but the ever so helpful bot just picked up my keywords and told me to use the password reset function.
Anyhoo, I digress. I finally got the gumption to tackle S\'Ygma, my second ophidian.
Here he is:
I\'m kinda happy with him. Okay, I\'m really happy with him. I\'ve been painting about a month now, and I was just really pleased with how I\'ve improved from my first model.
I need some hints, though. As you can see, I do have a slight pattern on him. I would have liked it to be more pronounced. Would have liked it if he showed more skin, too, but that\'s the fault of the sculpt. My first instinct is to use bolder colors next time, but I don\'t know if that\'s how I\'d get the most desired effect. I would have liked it to be just a BIT more noticeable.
I would have taken work in progress pics, but my husband was at a Con and took the camera.
I would have liked a little more contrast on his head, too, but it was hard with the scalation there. I think I am helped in that I am very familiar with \"real\" snakes, and I\'m also really sort of hindered by that same fact. Mainly on the head, which I look at and say, \"No snake on earth is designed like this...\" Then, not too many have arms and carry parasols, either.
So what do you think, for next time around?
