What's a good way of finding references for new designs? Let's say you get a com to draw a space viking, so you need a bunch of photos of viking larpers, maybe historical clothing and then some pictures of space suits and sci fi stuff. How do you find some good refs?
pinterest and sketchfab are my go to. can then make a reference board with pureref
For entirely new designs I’d say think outside the box a bit. It’s a good base for general reference but if you’re just looking for ‘Viking’ and ‘Astronaut’ you’re going to make the same shit everyone has seen a billion times. Do some word association, get a bit more abstract with it, go down rabbit holes of tangentially related things for inspiration.
>>7244609Yeah I do this, too. But is this really the endgame?
