Description Exactly what it says on the tin. There's a lot of steps to this one!

I changed my mind about what color I wanted this girl shortly in, but kept the original red in her spots.

Great design for an non-humanoid sapient being.. The color and details make this very awesome and credible.

I've been thinking about this today, and I think this needs more of a response from me than a simple "see last paragraph" (though the paragraph I was referring to is relevant). See, I drew this a little over a year ago. It wasn't until after I posted it in a few of my other online galleries, and received a few comments on it, that I realized that it did indeed resemble the birrin in many respects. Some entirely subconscious shape memory was at work when I drew this, it seems. You're a creature designer that I greatly respect and admire, which is why I included that postscript in that other deviation that I linked to. I didn't think to include it here as well.

Anyway, I apologize. I didn't set out to rip off any of your designs, and I mean no disrespect to you.

I was shocked by the resemblance, nonetheless I have done similar things by accident before so I understand.

It's like Barlowe crossed with a camel and the future is wild (minus the out-of-date cg), seriously, you're so good at this stuff it's scary.

I think this is the closest I'll ever get to catching a livestream from you Cory. Lol. The most amazing thing here is how careful and meticulous you are with your shading and coloring. Makes me feel like a total slob. Thanks for sharing my man.

Whoa, late reply!
Anyway, yeah, photoshop, with lots and lots of different lays in different blending modes. This [link] explains the process in more detail.

I really liked her with the red skin, but the end version is also very nice.

M0AI In reply to MetalSnail [2010-11-08 18:29:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's totally subjective which color scheme works best. The red just wasn't working for me, personally.

Thanks!

whalewithlegs [2010-11-08 03:22:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for putting this up! It reminds me that I should be more thorough about making my fundamental sketches! I also like to see you play around with color

M0AI In reply to whalewithlegs [2010-11-08 18:30:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes. The more I learn about art, the more important the sketch becomes in my mind. The sketch is where all of the problems are created and solved.

Thanks!

Yeah, one thing I learned in school ... If you don't make your sketch right, the rest of the painting will follow suit! Gotta do more work on the sketches!
