Mmkay, I need feedback on this. I'm trying to work faster now, y'see, as I gain more confidence working with these new tools...'s not just the tablet, at that. I've also picked up quite a lot of software techniques since I started this.
Anyway, here's the thing. I've done the shading and highlights - the subtle colour variations for 3D effect, basically - slightly differently here. Faster and with less care, with heavy blurring of the coloured areas. I've been moving in this direction for a while now, but it's more obvious here. Question is, does it work?
The couple folks who saw me workin' on these two images said it actually looks better, softer and more organic. I'm not so sure. What do you think?
Righteous Jade (for Zandock)
