Painting based on some photos I take when I go for walks on the morning.

I have been noodling at this for a few weeks. I saw this image from the Korean TV drama, Mr. Sunshine on ShotDeck and thought it would be fun to do a study. I have never seen this show but the screen shots on ShotDeck look nice.

The level of emotion and rage I feel that from every angle the Animation Industry is getting destroyed and broken down for parts is off the charts. Please read this and help us!!!

Folks looking for work, I cannot express enough. Learn. Blender. In my exp, more and more 2D/3D productions are utilizing it on both a pre-viz and production level. I’ve seen countless potential hires with wonderful designs/paintings get sidelined because of lack of 3D skills.
