making models and painting over the tp of them.

Again i am working on two pieces at the same time, i have been using the 3d models as a basis to get the shadows and the perspective right as that seemed to work wuite well with the previous one. My idea is to include a character on my boat deck painting so i have done some character designs to work on my strength as i have been told i feel great empathy with the characters i design
. I watched a Gnomon workshop DVD by BaRonTIerI about character design and so i made a 'line up' of characters on Silo and rendered them to be painted over


While i was doing this, i also made a quick model of my ship on Silo and rendered in on Maya, i then took it into painter where i proceded to paint it in perspective based on another Gnomon workshop dvd i saw by Ryan Church. I had a specific light source in mind for my next painting. I put this perspective painting into my previous painting on the orthographic of the boat designs before hand, then i proceded to paint a nice landscape for my boat to exist in.
