The subtle shots of his sack during the pose experimentation were a welcome sight. I personally would have gone with the sunrise background. Then I could picture his morning wood greeting the morning sun.πŸ˜‹

haha I really liked that aspect of the sunrise version too!! you could "feel" the warmth on him in a way I liked. but I couldnt resist the high contrast stormy/night setup in the end

YOOOOOOO THIS IS WILD!! What's your time frame like for each stage? It's amazing to see all the polishing! Do you find yourself struggling to maintain momentum as you cleanup and polish? Or is it more of a thing you really lean into?

Celery Man

I'm so slow it's crazy so each phase is a few days. sometimes I need to let ideas sit and marinate before I can figure out how to fix them or which direction to move in! but you hit the nail on the head with a sense of lost momentum as I refine and render in detail - it's FUN, because I like details, but there is a definite sense of the big exciting decisions being done at that point, and all that remains to do is just render out the idea. almost programmatically. but, there is something sort of transcendent about getting into every little detail of a character - you feel like you know them so intimately by the end of the painting!!

Truuuuuu ye ye ye! Well thank you for sharing it so much! It's awesome to see the stages! I adore it!

It looks like you studied a bunch of different poses before settling on the final. What goes into your process to figure out how the image will look in terms of composition and figure?

Celery Man

yeah this one in particular took me ages to find the pose that felt right! I had an initial idea and it just wasn't working out. I often start by getting inspired by a reference photo - just something to spark the imagination and work from there. in this case the final product ended up being wayyy far away from the original inspiration but I feel like it got where it needed to be in the end.
