((I’m so cringe😈 I’m so cringe☹️)) I genuinely enjoyed animating this even though it took a much time :,) I absolutely adore this <3

Thrax from Osmosis Jones!

i’m sorry i phoned it in but this is how i do literally every single shiny metallic surface. another tip is to add surface detail to something just so that you can pin highlights to it, that way you’re not faced with a big blank space to fill up

and to be honest, you can bullshit 99% of these armour embossing designs. i mean look at them. i didn’t even make them symmetrical. their only purpose is to help define the form

my last step is usually to go ham panting over the lines. most of what u see in a finished image is me having painted over the lines (u can see that clearly on the pendant). u can see in this one that i disregarded my lines in a lot of places and just kinda freestyled it.but u can also see that i place the highlights right up against the dark bits. this armour was very shiny so those dark bits are reflections rather than shadows (i guess?)
