Jaco’s Random Writings

Oof, just in time for the Blogenning dealine. I was really worried that I wasn’t going to make it. Right, here’s the “Final Sketch” of “Cerberus”.

The major differences between this and the “red sketch” are:

• Mistakes have been fixed. This is more anatomically correct.
• The roughness of the previous sketch has been cleaned up and the lines overall have been tightened up.
• Any details that were suggested in the previous phase have been more fully fleshed out.
• More detail was added in many parts.

These phases were done at 150 ppi. The reason for doing it at this low a resolution is simply that my PowerBook is 4 years old and wouldn’t allow me to do fast sketch strokes if the picture was at 300 ppi, nevermind 600 ppi. Quite frankly, this isn’t such a big deal, since resolution isn’t as important here, since this won’t be part of the final image. However, for the next phase, the “Final Inking” phase, I’ll have to ramp up the resolution to at least 300 ppi. I’d like to see it at 600 ppi, but I’ll have to see how my system perform at that resolution. Otherwise, I’m just going to have to be happy with 300 ppi.

C’est la vie…
