Meet Boris, a happy moon-bouncing, gun-toting madman of an astronaut. But he didn't come out the press all neat and painted.
No. As with any painting I started with a quick sketch which I developed into the line work for the painting.
Cue a few hours of eye-drying screen staring and carpel tunnel inducing tablet scratching and we ended up with this:
Looks like the finished piece doesn't it? But it isn't. Following some feedback from one of my tutors (hi Steve) I softened the bounce lighting on his extremities from the lunar surface and neatened up the CAC script on his helmet. These final touch ups created the final piece.
It was also brought to my attention that the rim lighting on the left hand side was incorrect as it appears on the same side as the light is coming from. It should indeed be on right (Boris' left). I'll keep this in mind for my future rim lighting endevours.
