Busy Day Today, but I managed to squeeze in this Concept Character Drawing and Painting of an African Warrior ~ created with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone, using an S Pen in Autodesk SketchBook Pro ~ totally loving this phone and the S Pen ~ I highly recommend it.
I painting this environment using my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone with an S Pen, and Sketchbook Pro. I continue to be amazed at how responsive the S Pen is on this phone, it even supports palm cancelling while in Pen mode, which makes it really fun to work with. It supports multiple layers as well.
Below is the Phone I am using.
Drawing ~ Anti Poaching Unit Sketch, Elephant Defense ~ in a world where poachers are increasingly better armed than rangers, a better equipped Ranger force is desperately needed.
Super Excited ~ Early look at the newly released Alpha Version of Octane 3.0 and the much anticipated Volumetric Fog ~ I am Demonstrating it using the City Environment from my Children’s animated TV series, The Adventures of Nkoza and Nankya ~ http://www.nkozaandnankya.com

Volumetric rendering: OctaneRender 3 supports the ability to render particulate matter such as clouds, smoke, fog, and fire with varying densities and introduces a unique native primitive type for incredibly detailed micro-surface displacement volumes and surfaces required to render photorealistic natural and organic materials. Dreamworks’ OpenVDB is also supported for direct in-camera rendering of particle simulations.
