A painting of a squirrel in PD Howler from start to finish. I was mainly using the oil paint category and customized some brushes for this one. I'll write up some notes and make the custom brushes available on my blog next week.

Remember those goldfish drawings I did a while back? I decided to start colouring them in last week. That should keep me busy for a bit.

This video shows a time lapse process of me painting a frog in Krita. I've added commentary to this video and some farmyard ambience. I've got another frog themed painting video to do after this one.
If frogs upset you, please bear in mind they are a very important indicator of the health of the ecosystem and they eat garden pests like slugs. They are very important animals.

I've been experimenting with using PBR textures on 2D images in Krita which can then be rendered with lighting effects in Blender. Added a bit of gold just to test it out. The normal map for this was hand painted and I've been trying a few other things to try and improve my workflow.
The image is one I originally painted in Krita using various brushes. It is a study of Kira from The Dark Crystal movie (1982 Jim Henson).

This is showing some rough color studies for a painting / illustration project I'm working on. I'm using the PD Howler 2024 preview, which is available for pre-order.

In this video I follow on from part 1 and show how a program called Relief Maker can make Bas Relief Alpha Images from 3D Models. I then compare the results from part 1 with these results.
I will be writing an article to accompany these videos soon.
