Suddenly, mostly Metroid! Which is to say, still mostly birbs, because both Samus and Ridley qualify.
New interests tend to bring new inspiration, and for most of this year I've found myself happy to create both numerous and increasingly elaborate drawings on the subject, wanting to draw Everything I like about it. Also some things I've noticed enjoying more again are traditional/mixed media and dramatic shading, which had kind of fallen out of focus for me with my dinosaur drawings that have a different aesthetic to them. Perhaps a bit too set aesthetic - high time to experiment more?
I finished the raptor figure sculpting I was working on at the end of last year. It took me a lot longer than I'd anticipated, but I'm really happy with the results, and it's the most elaborate sculpting project I've worked on so far, Skye especially being pretty much made of detail. I never expected to be capable of something like it when I decided to try sculpting things with slightly altering juvie Tumult's figure four years ago, and now look at me making whole new figures with articulation! :)
