Another troll concept update



So I made a little more progress with the troll. I filled out a little more of the volume, added a little more detail and a little bit more texture to it. I'm kind of upset I didn't start this painting at a larger size to get a little more control. I guess I'm just so used to game res textures that this seemed large enough... Oh well, nothing I can do about that now. The next painting will for sure be more.

As with anything I post on here, let me know what you think. If you have any critiques and/or comments just let me know what needs improvement.

Close call, but not quite...

Well, so we had a close call on the 22nd with the baby. My wife had normal doctors appointment and as soon as we got in the office she began having contractions. After seeing the doctor, Megan was in much pain from these and the doctor checked her out and said she was in fact in labor. He told us to go to the hospital right away. So we did. We were there for a few hours, but her contractions never became strong enough to make any real progress. So the finally sent us home.

It was pretty frustrating because my mom and grandma drove down here. (About an hour and a half drive) Waited in the hospital for a few hours and had to drive back home. Knowing that they will have to drive back up in the next couple of days. Also Megan was so sad about us not going home with a baby that she actually started to cry. So that kinda mad me feel bad. But it will happen soon enough and by then we will be wishing it never did happen (Just kidding). Anyway... I guess I just needed to vent a little of that built up frustration. I will update as things progress.

Troll Painting Update




Finally got back to working on this troll again. I think he still needs a lot of definition. He still doesn't seem to have enough volume so I still have a lot of work to go on this guy.
I've been really busy working on a new model that I am really having some fun with. I will probably be posting some renders of her as I make a little bit more progress.

On an unrelated note. Our baby is due tomorrow, but it's not looking like he will be here by then. We have an appointment tomorrow to see the progress and already have an appointment set up for the 25th to induce labor if he is not her by then.
