And if you're curious this was one of my "simulations" with the Kweebec integrated in a grasslands in Legacy. The creature was posed and not animated.
This helped evaluate if textures, level of detail, values, etc. were consistent with the world

Kweebec Protector - A 3D model I made for #Hytale that we never had a chance to fully implement.
They were supposed to be older and more serious versions of #kweebecs, before they grow and eventually turn into Tree Singers

I’m not sure if I already shared this Golden Knight concept here. How do you think it turned out ? Made with #procreate

Following Hytale cancelation, I took time to reflect and decided to invest time to focus on my personal projects for now. I might already be prototyping a few game ideas...#conceptart #gamedev

and now compare to colored version: sun disappears because almost exactly as bright as sky - here the red versus green hue does the heavy lifting to compose the art. Color is as important as contrast/values when composing a piece. if not taken in account, this can throw your structure off

I went with the classic green/red palette. Tricky one, can really result into the "vomitted pizza" palette if failed :D . Something challenging when working with clashy complementaries is making sure it isn't messing up your values (and composition). Look at the black and white version [...]

Here started the great time of struggle. I couldn't pick a palette. This is just a tiny subset of all the variations I tried. Sometimes, there are no perfect answers. Most of these palettes where working in a way or another. And choosing one means renouncing to another cool one. [...]

I started on #Procreate on Ipad. I evaded linework as soon as possible to block out a silhouette that detaches from background. It's only at this time I decided to go for absolutely exagerated complementary colors and contrasts that you can find in some serigraphs prints, and in japanese art. [...]
