Broken robot, flowerhead

I didn' post the pictures of what this head has become either ^^"

Solan, the broken robot whom Réi has found on the Edge of Koross. He's split onto pieces and scattered aroud the place, but he still works. He actually is quite a nice, friendly fellow and likes to have long talks with visitors about anything at all. Réi would very much like to find spare parts and fix him, maybe someday he can be whole again?

More pictures and  the face-up walkthrough:

Faceup tutorial

I happened to put together something that looks like a face-blushing tutorial.

Kinda made me realize what I really need to improve myself^^

Face-up Tutorial

Well, not a real tutorial, just a walkthrough, actually.

Narsha and Zaoll face-up:

Unless I've skipped some I did these ones in three steps:
- First step defines the color  areas of the face, where which color goes, using the lighter shades of each tint. I also usually define the mouth line at that stage unless I forget it^^"
- Second step is for accentuating colors, use darker and more saturated variations, start working on the skin texture and define the eye-brow shapes. I usually try the eyes on at that point in order to make sure the facial expression is coming out fine.
- Third step comes with details: more skin texture, lashes, mouth details, eye-brow details, while the darker parts of the face-up get more dense color with extra layers of pastel.

And then a layer of gloss or two, and here we are :)
