HAVE I EVER ANIMATED ANYTHING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE EVER? NO.

DID I STAY UP UNTIL 5:30 AM (not a hyperbole) TRYING TO FINISH IT TODAY? YES.

BUT IT'S DONE (more or less). IT IS DONE AND I AM DONE WITH IT SO HOLY SHIT ENJOY BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

I’m a character artist. I’m used to painting skin and hair and clothes... soft textures, basically. I found out the hard way that this approach does not work for rocks. Unless you want them to look like weirdly shiny flesh blobs instead 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s why I try to practice rendering other surfaces from time to time. These were drawn for last month’s challenge on painting gems and colorful rocks!
