Hhhhhhhhh???? Heyhiya, might still be a bit until I'm back on track with being regularly active,, we'll start working on the student film-projects next week and I have no idea how things will go down in these next... 4 months?

But anyways, since things where winding down towards the end of this semester, I had the time to just draw smth for myself during class (which is why there's not gonna be a video of this). But, I kept the different stages saved off in the layers, and I thought why not detail the different things and decisions I took during the process-

You can find my breakdown here: www.patreon.com/posts/zombie-t… (it's public for everyone!) if you have difficulties zooming in, right click and press "show image" but let me also know if anything is unclear/illegible and I can go over the steps in more detail.

Part of why I'm quite happy with this outcome, is because I had worried I wouldn't make much improvement due to me being less active online (previously, being active was my main source of learning) So I was partly surprised at this guy,, it kinda proved to me that it's not all about maximizing quantitiy, lol.

I feel the main improvement came from having worked on 1 background piece for class over the span of multiple months (though we have 3-5 hours a week) - just the process of having to spend a lot of time, working out shadow and lights on every different object and shape with meticulous attention, put things into perspective. To take the time necessary to rework shapes until things look right, and not just settle with "eh, passable".

With this piece, I focused on not resorting to all my learned habits when it comes to shading, and just focus on making it look correct. Many of my habits in terms on how to make smth look "finished" are too geared towards being as efficient as possible, saving time on unecessary risk. Which might be great in certain cases, but stops me often from just going back and refining, reworking.

and lol, there's still a big chunk of discovery ahead of me,, I want to be able to apply this type of exact rendering on more stylized artwork too

---
oh, and yeah, this isn't my take on the "horse with canine teeth" craze, not exactly,, since the facial details are only very vaguely referenced off of horses I'd be more comfortable with just calling it an undead thing
