"The Frogtopus Keymaker" Hi-res, Process Guide, and Brush Set!
Added 2023-04-26 17:52:55 +0000 UTC
As many of you know from our recent streams, this month we tackled the "Frogtopus Keymaker!" Today I'm pleased to finally release the brush set and process guide for this tradesman of very fine specialty locks and keys.
The process for painting this one followed my usual format, with the drawing doing most of the heavy lifting of the underpainting. For color and lighting I went through "the cycle" about 3 times to add push the nuance and subtlety of the rendering. Overall I feel like it turned out very close to how I had imagined it from the beginning, though the clothing turned out a bit fancier than I had intended. (That hat just demanded a cool pattern on it!) As far as time goes, I have stopped really stressing about my original 5-hour goal on these monsters, but for anyone still keeping tabs this one definitely overshot by a wide margin, coming in at around 14 hours. (And I enjoyed every minute of it!)
BRUSH SET:
With the painting finished, "The Keymaker" Brush set is finally available, and it contains some of my favorite new brushes, including many that I have been fine-tuning for months now:
I hope you enjoyed this one! Next month we're heading back up into space for more martians, this time with lasers!
