I learned in a history class that because Einstein was an immigrant none of the US (white) colleges or universities would let him join their faculty but black colleges and universities welcomed his brilliance with open arms.

“wouldn’t you rather earn something than have it just handed to you?”

Yeah when it comes to actual awards and fancy goods, but when it comes to basic needs, basic human decency, and accomodations, those things should always be handed to people. No one should have to “earn” those things.Value people as people, not base it on how much they produce.

The Marked Temple Wip 3 Got some basic levels of flat coloring mostly correct here. Took a lot of fighting toget them right though.

Head Spider wip 1 So Jim Sterling is doing a contest. $500 for someone to do something new with the super overused Unity asset of a spider coming out of a decapitated head. Any media. So I figured I'd give it a shot. If nothing else, I know there are indie developers who watch him.

Aliza and Graggol Wip2 Aliza Silhouettes Yes, these are the characters from the previous painting, talking to the Forest Spirit. They are each the last of their kind.

Forest Spirit Wip 7-10 Another batch upload, since this turned out to be another failed experiment. Though I will say an interesting and informative one. Was it turning out horribly because I was depressed, or was I depressed because I managed to still make the same mistakes in a worse color scheme? Not sure, but I broke to play a video game, and suddenly the rough outlines and solution to all the pieces I had been fighting with fell right into place. Sketch to follow shortly.

I'm just posting all of these together, since I feel like I need to basically restart from square one. The rendering, lighting, and so on are more or less fine. But the composition is fundamentally flawed. If the Forest Spirit Tree is the central point of interest, it shouldn't need to compete with everything else, and I lost sight of the ruins along the way, because I just shoved them in the background. I didn't work out a composition wherein they are integral to the piece. TLDR, I should have thumbnailed it a hell of a lot more than I did.

Forest Spirit Wip 11 And finally, we have a working composition sketch!
