#but what follows is usually the trickiest

I think I’ve officially hit my maximum limit on shades of brown. This piece is going so much more chaotically than the golden piece, what happened? (Burnout, that’s what!)

Gonna send the babies off for approval and get started on the flying adult and the massive evil dreadful stick pile. I need to find better working methods.

I suspect I’m going to be doing a LOT of adjustment layer/overlay/multiply layers for the lighting on these guys, this is largely local color at this stage.
