Environment Ideation and Lighting Practice



I've been working on some environment and lighting practice, I don't do it nearly as often as I should. These both need a lot of refining, but it's progress. The upper one is for my Sea Treader illustration and the lower is for the little soldier girl I'm working on. I'm having a tricky time with an environment for my drunken boxer, but some Scottish tavern research should clear that right up.

The concept for my third zbrush sculpt. He's a Scottish drunken boxer named Valentulus. Gingers forever.
