Digital Painting

Digital Painting is something I've always wanted to get better at, and the foundational skills for it are also things I'd like to develop.
-Understanding Lights and Values better
-Composition (beyond the rule of thirds, but really that just works so well)

Also, if I'm trying to show someone an idea for a landscape or a scene I don't have to mock things up in blender. I think with a curve of communication vs. work time showing blender vs. digital painting, painting would shoot up faster then plateau in the detail stage, where blender only plateaus much later in the pipeline.

Fully fleshed concept art is a central part of every design pipeline, in film, video games, animation, and it's a wonderful thing to be able to identify as.

As far as I go, I think if someone on deviantart had an idea for a shitty knock-off of Magic The Gathering (TM) that's about my level of art right now. But I'm getting better. Behold the works of my labor to make works.

One thing I struggle with is figuring out how to manage layers. Images like the last one could have looked so much better if I had used proper layer management the entire time (to work specifically on the stalagtites/mites).

But I'm never going to stop trying to learn, and I'll always keep practicing.
