complexity
[ID: Three panel comic. Crudely drawn stick figures represent people.
Panel 1: A lime green person is talking to someone whose color is approximately a warm grey tone.
Approximately warm grey: "You know, green is just not a very creative color."
Lime: "Excuse me?"
Approximately warm grey: "Unlike you simplistic primary greenies, nonprimary people such as myself have far more interesting chromatic alignments."
Lime: "I am going to lose patience with this very quickly, make your case immediately."
Panel 2: Zoom in on approximately warm grey.
Approximately warm grey: "Of course. I am medium-dark reddish cyan with warm-toned teal and cold sepia accents, and a dash of burgundy-toned light cornflower blue. It is a subtle, rich, complex colour with far more nuance than you can ever even begin to comprehend. Your limited, primary mind simply cannot process it. It is beyond you. You are beneath me."
Panel 3: Zoom in on lime.
Lime: "...Do you think lime green is a primary colour?"

Last year, I had the amazing opportunity to create a character design tutorial for "Inspired by Nature" by @3dtotal. Here are some of the artworks included in it!
The book teaches readers how to use flowers, plants, trees, fungi, and other elements of the natural world as inspiration for character designs. My task was to choose a summer flower and design a character based on its features.
I chose the cornflower and created this little goblin, Periwinkle!
Periwinkle specializes in collecting nectar and pollen to make infusions and medicines for animals and insects in need. His friend and assistant, Bumblebee (also included on the artworks here!), helps him gather the ingredients, with the added benefit of pollinating flowers along the way.
In addition to Periwinkle, the book features 16 other incredible characters to explore and learn from. If you're interested, the book is available in the @3dtotal store!
