Stoic

Back to painting. This originated from one of those previous thumbs. Trying to make a stoic banner wielder.

Selected comps

Made a few more of those Pollock-thingies and collected the thumbs that I found could work for something. All I see now is a blond, brunette, redhead. What do you see?

Wild compositions

Trying new ways to come up with ideas. I followed a tutorial by Pixeltuner of ca.org and ended up with this. 32 compositions. While some are worse than others, these are very raw and you can get more ideas if you flip the canvas vertically to see it in a new way, or invert the colors. Fun way to loosen up and come up with ideas.

I realised when going through these individually that my mindset limited my imagination. If I thought "ok look for space environments" then that's what I would get. If something looked like a face then I would be stuck with that image. I suppose when it comes to finding something out of these it boils down to your visual library.
