Each piece is 5 years apart from one another with a limitation of 7 hours. The purpose of this exercise isn’t to make the best possible artwork but to see where my raw skills are at within the limitations of that time frame.
Ultimately, while this can serve as a benchmark of sorts, this choice is also kind of gimmicky. Speed paints and time constraint challenges like these can be fun, but if you want to make something look it’s absolute best or improve in a meaningful way, you’re better off putting more time and effort into planning, rendering, etc… Better planning always makes things go by quicker than constant guessing anyway.
Anyways! I do have a knack for never delivering these things in time. This picture took forever. The braids alone were possibly five hours of work- But I think Urion deserves it! I based the fish part in some sort of betta, after accepting some suggestions. But anyways, not much else to say here, this was just a good opportunity to render something to no end! (Support would be super appreciated, given that it was a very timeconsuming piece!)
