Fantasies of Hubris and Bestial Schadenfreude


 A mix of pen and digital drawing - beasts and beast men- always a pleasure to draw - they do well to represent some horrific and fantastic flood of chaos stampeding over human some damnable civilisation. fantasies of hubris and schadenfreude

A month of much work and just the condensed chaos of usual. But good commissions and some new things learnt albeit small and well as far as art techniques go I am always playing catchup, trying to piece together something worthwhile. Guides only help so far - books like Digital Painting Techniques series are great for pointers here and there but then there are articles where the artist just skips over whole stages or just gives a picture and no explanation. I am still also wondering what is generally good res to work at? 300DPI? 450 DPI 600? This is something that no book seems to detail.

Perhaps I could ask on a forum somewhere but such things feel one with anxiety and despair, seeing so many great artists doing their stuff - I wish there was some industrry here for digital in Melbourne, Australia but it all seems to be overseas. I want to just do art all day every day, so much as I say always to learn, to further finish, to conceptualise etc etc etc.
