Baphomet, an alien and an apartment... yes! I'll certainly take that as a compliment... he he...

 

I would highly recommend "oilbars" for collage. I used those a lot, with wax crayon... generally on top of collage and some acrylic.

 

My actual canvases were just pure oil paint though... and a lot of it. I don't know how I afforded it as a student... I'd struggle now, to work on that scale... and with such excess pouring of oil colors (mixed with alcaflow a lot of the time... poured on with the canvas flat, or slathered on with a palette knife).

 

I really liked your entry to the last comp Primorge... a deserving winning entry IMHO. Sometimes... indeed usually... the renders I make quite quickly are the ones I end up least dissatisfied with I reckon.

 

I will spend hours fiddling around with a shader, or morph tweaking a character, for an elaborate scene idea... then spend days rendering that scene...

 

...then scrap it, and end up throwing a couple of the elements together into a spur of the moment idea... and rendering that in one take... and liking that result more ;)
