Ayy, I'm done with the Long Boi! I feel like I should kinda start naming my pieces properly, because obviously things like ''Long Boi'' aren't gonna cut it in the long run. When I looked at the image for a while the body posture, small waist and metallic dog chain kind of reminded me of a Greyhound, so I think something along the lines of ''Redhound'' is very fitting! (Red referring to the skin. Orange/ pale doesn't have the same ting) Anyway! I added a metal chain around its neck, I think it adds a nice narrative to the character! I got inspired of the leash concept by one of @Borodante 's pieces, ''Human Centipede'', by the way! His Art is incredibly inspiring and his Youtube videos are some of the greatest and most educational Tutorials I've ever seen. If you're into painting and want to learn about the process (Or literally just watch super interesting and entertaining painting videos) , Borodante is my 1# recommendation for you. I've also rendered out the skin and muscles, which I've struggled a TON with. If I had to guess, I think I've lost track of the three dimensionality and form of the piece, at which point I had no grasp on the lighting anymore whatsoever- which led to me over- and repainting the same areas way too often. At some point though, I took my time and compared the current image with the earlier stages of the piece and tried to analyse what went wrong and what I have to change to make the piece as appealing as it was before the rendering. Then I decided to take the current piece, and erase out the parts that I was unhappy with, revealing the early stages of the piece. At that point I was able to begin painting more focused and properly.
