Questions in a World of Blue - Crazy Color Challenge

I am excited about this week’s color challenge because last week I screwed up and did cool greens instead of warm greens (yellow-green) but this week I am going to redeem myself and get it right

#1 statue of Lenin

I've always loved the look of verdigris, so my submission for this week's color challenge is a statue of Lenin, exhorting the workers of the world to unite. Some of you might recognize it from my earlier work of the same title...

  It is a strange look, flat yet modeled…

#2 statue render/lineart

I know better than to post without lineart, so here is the obligatory rough sketch along with a nice statue render in the proper color range. This is omake from my celebrated piece called Grounded

    I like it a lot. Reminds me of the old convertible Thunderbird color.

      Totally. I even have fins on my girl’s rig and some running lights so it is a lot like a convertible Thunderbird. Wind in her hair and everything…

I am thinking I should just do a piece and a sketch for each challenge. I’m pacing myself…

      I imagine you’re referring to the fluffy one, I hope she’s someplace dry…
