Work Schedule Experiments
Last week I wrote I want to experiment with a new schedule to have more energy/ focus. I honestly didn't work enough this week (like 2-4 hours productive work/ day). Wanna get it up to 4-5 hours consistently.
That said I reached my goals + the lunch workout experiment was successful.
- had no or little post lunch slump on days I worked out on
- BUT: can be a big time-sink depending on the workout (e.g. cycling just takes way too long vs. strength training)
- also gotta watch out for overtraining
Also Tuesday's lunch bike trip lead me to a ruin surrounded by forest which was cool!
Finding an Art Style
For the artstyle I have two competing interests!
1) I want to have sth. that fits the style of the companies I would like to work for.
BUT
2) I want to practice my sculpting skills
So I'm thinking of taking the vibe/ colors/ level of detail from the companies I'd like to work for, but also include sculpting in the workflow.
Here's a very first test with a duckweed plant.
Composition & Tadpole Pics!
A problem with having a terrarium diorama that can be viewed from all sides is the composition.
I looked at some nature aquarium composition tips. But they focus on the view from one side.
I think having a "main view" is definitively the way to go still.
Also the photos of the tadpoles are by Eiko Jones, super inspiring!
Next Steps / Questions
Do you come up with your own artstyle for pieces? If yes, how do you approach it?
Next steps:
- finish first style test
- glass container research & modeling
- first blockout
Oh also I made a gas planet generator for #Mayterials!
