i need to sleep desperately but the parallel here is kind of interesting
I did this real fast before going to bed so Im sorry if this makes zero sense. I think of a few moving parts that would be used in the context the machine is in and I slap them on where something needs to move. Here I got A and B for 3d all around movement. "a b c" for normal 2d turning. There is no easy way to find these you just need to look at a bunch of photos. I find ships, ship engines or anything related to water to have best references. Also sewing machines for some reason. I use shadows because its easier to tell what is sticking out way too much.
One thing doing it as a shadow also helps is you only have to worry about what has light on it. You don't have to lineart everything. The few pebbles I drew only have so many parts in light, most of it is in shadow saving effort. This also makes it look more complex than it is.
Five pebbles walked into a bar, the bartender couldn't find the geomancer.
Im not going to putting a lot of quality work for a while because I got a project in the background. I'll be posting the silly little things I drew to keep my sanity while I rot my brain a new shape.
my new no man's sky character :]
I have nothing funny to say, here is some moon
