Applying to senior/lead positions as a junior is always so funny to me because like I know the worse thing that can happen is a rejection but each time I do it I feel like I’m knocking on a door and they open it just to see this I feel so unserious

“Let’s light it up!”
Finally finished up my fan ASU for my fav Lux!
Model and textures by me, with design inspired by her different looks throughout League media with a few personal touches.

finished retopping and baking kaveh's wig so i played with basic materials to feel the rush of completing something

trying to use symmetry because asymmetrical painting sounded exhausting vs giving up and finally looking up reference and painting it asymmetrically

more poses for lux still have yet to find one that feels like "the one" so i think ill try more action oriented ones tomorrow

Finished up my Chibi Kiriko + Kitsune! I realized that I don't have much to show for my love of Overwatch, and I've been playing a ton of TFT recently so I decided to mash them together!

at the point where it's just adding small details and tweaks and while they are making it look better it becomes harder to tell when things are "done" the longer this goes on 😮💨

The Riot internship rejection has finally hit me! I thought that 3 months of waiting for the inevitable would soften the blow, but to be honest I feel awful.

Handpainting progress for this week ^^ I rarely paint asymmetrically or follow a concept so closely (at least when it comes to rendering stuff), so this is definitely a new but welcome experience

At the point where changes are more subtle, so take this before and after adding color variation and multiply shadow layers. Just grey painting and a hardlight color layer looks fine, but it's the extra stuff that really brings it together.
