The other day I was upset when I found a blog that stated that my art was a blend of 3d renders and painting. I felt like Ned Nederlander when he was accused of using camera tricks to make his fast draw appear faster. I guess I've occasionally used 3d to cheat my way out of having to work out the perspective on a spaceship, so does that make the accusing blogger correct?
Speaking of using 3d to cheat, I've been invited to contribute to a new sister blog to Randall Sly's excellent Character Design blog (link in my sidebar), The Art Center.
Here's a preview from my first post there (the aforementioned cheating used to render the spheres. I'm not going to waste an hour or two breaking a sphere down into planes):
And don't worry, I'll continue my art thinking/learning posts here---I'll probably focus on digital painting stuff there and spew all my other thoughts here. Or maybe I'll post the same in both places. I guess we'll see how it works out.
