Snapshot Saturday - October 15 (Patreon)

Hello again Patrons! 

It's Saturday once again, and the big ticket item is the Brisket piece is complete! But there are additional plans for the future with it, so let's get into the update!

So starting off with the Brisket piece, it should be clear that that's where the majority of my time was spent once again. And while I'm happy with what I've got, and will be sharing this picture to Patrons as an early access piece shortly after this post goes live, I do have additional versions I want to do for this piece. Notably, during the lighting I experimented with other versions that included some rim and bounce lighting that really added a lot of extra impact. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get those versions done at the same time (there were numerous things that happened this week that kept me busier than usual in the "I've been forced away from my computer and can't do art" kind of way), so those will happen later. I also want to do a version with her in an actual environment instead of just having a simple backdrop. That will obviously take MUCH longer, and is going to be given lower priority overall so I can focus on other work. I did however do thumbnailing and some really rough photobashing to come up with the idea for the proposed background. She's going to be in a tropical lagoon with a waterfall behind her!

And the rest of the art time was almost exclusively warmup sketches, some of which are actually decent enough to turn into full pieces, but as you can see a lot of them are very much just meant for warming up!

That'll do it for this week's snapshot update! As I mentioned above, the Brisket piece will be getting posted to Patreon right after this goes up, so keep an eye out for it! As always, have a great rest of your weekend, and thanks for your continued support!
