I like the color palette for for this latest one Baldur.

It's nice to see some new artwork around, I've always liked your sketches in particular

[Illysia]

Sorry to be off topic but.... YULBAR DOING THE BUTT WIGGLE. *squee*

[Baldur]

Still seems too abstract to be seen as a fungus on steroids, but toadstools aren't very exciting... Next will be something which relates to my present relation to fungi (I find them very exciting for reasons difficult to describe even to those I've studied with).

I'll link an interview a student colleague had with me which better describes it (if anyone cares to read it):

Here's a forest of mushrooms


Trying to make a fungi forest without the typical toadstool, but it tends to look like trees x) I need to go surreal, baby!

[Illysia]

If you used faint color to differentiate parts of the mushrooms it would probably have the mushroomy effect you are looking for. It looks good though Baldur. 

[Baldur]

Thanks Illysia, I'll bear that in mind! True. It's about getting the surfaces right (surfaces being very difficult). Havent gotten around to coloring it or, detailing it further. Using greytones seems to be a good starting point.

[Illysia]

I really like it in graytone actually, which is why I suggest faint color, it's just that it's harder to tell what you are looking at in absolute gray. However, you've got me. It's better than any mushrooms I've done and unlike my last project, it's finished.

[Baldur]

you've got me. It's better than any mushrooms I've done and unlike my last project, it's finished.

Nope, I got nothing Now go make mushrooms!!!
