That's why God invented post-processing in painting programs :aha:

Yes, I think paintover may be a good plan now.
I just had a bit of a fingerpaint over that last wip and it didn't look too bad so instead of wasting more time texturing I may rig and pose it as it is and switch to painting. :aha:

Wings falling apart.
Beenana is unflappable.
Weight painting required.

Can you use weight painting to make it lighter so the wings become less important? :dumb:

Weight painting is just dieting. :aha:

Dieting is now complete and the legs and wings are poseable now.
I've also been experimenting with hair/fur but now I think the wings look really stoopid.

 

Do I have time to completely remodel the wings? :hmm:

A furry beenana :woohoo:

It looks a bit like it only has three legs though. Did someone eat the other three? (I promise it wasn't me! And they look less appetizing now they're hairy, too...)

There were no legs at all for a while which confused me until I realised that I'd turned them off for the rendering process. And I was using Cycles too so that was a wasted few minutes. Did I say "few"?

But, yes, the other three are there behind the lower bit of peeled skin. :)

Make the veins a little less rigidly straight and geometric and more organic. Also, I have Eric Keller's Gnomon DVD about sculpting realistic insects and he uses a single flat polygon subdivided, and uses a brush to puff up the wing segments between the veins so they aren't flat. It makes a big difference.
