I've continued work on the drawing of Sakurada Dori-san with cat ears and a cat tail. quirky, no? Somehow I think it kind of suits him though. I guess that't why I'm drawing it.
The lighting is in its first stages still. From here, I will go in to blending the tones more, and adding other things like reflective light and sub surface scattering on his skin etc, etc.
So after ruining my last attempt at this, I finally decided to give it another shot (and save a backup).
Still needs some correcting before final inking > colouring, but the idea is down again. I actually also have another artwork of Dori-san on the go too but for now I will just see where they both go. I want to get back onto my 3D graphics work soon too. I've been learning far too much Japanese and obsessing about travel lately! Japan Panorama Photobook is still in progress too of course.
