Designing characters with over the top hairstyles is a bit of a theme for me. It's fun, it's an easy way to add some variety and the possibilities are endless. This one is definitely the most ridiculous though.

I painted this fro a personal game project called Human Upgrade Labs and this image will serve as a base for a puzzle where you have to sneak some observation drones past this artificially created sentinel monster. The hair are supposed to be various sensors covering the entire region.

Also this is one of those painting that I had brewing in the back of my head for a long while but i kept postponing because I wasn't sure if my skills were where they need to be yet. It's always a bit intimidating to start on a larger, more complicated piece, but in the end I'm quite happy with the result.

And here's the game this painting will go into: https://ultra-shenanigans.itch.io/human-upgrade-labs
