The monsters range in the way they look because they are based on memory.

If one of the hazmat guys for example saw a monster, but it wasn't visible at first, then their minds formed their own ideas of what each monster looked like for them.

Everyone has probably experienced this moment online. You spend weeks, months, years, a lifetime studying an artists work and you feel you just have a grasp of what they were doing.

Then you hear or read something from someone who you feel is a total misinterpretation of the work based on the mythos, for better or worse.

Any of these moments stand out for anyone?

No frills tips I learned from my art mentors. Note that this was learned during digital art study but it definitely carried over into my physical paintings.

For those thinking "you spent thousands of dollars for that?" Yes, I did, among other things. And I still think it was worth it to pick up these valuable lessons.

1. Seeing color.

Before studying, I would look at a wall and go "that's a red wall" or "that part of the face is pink." But as I watched my mentor work, I was fascinated when he would point out "this part of the wall has a hint of blue on it" or "this part of the face has a slight green." I would never see color the same because it helps you to both mix color and interpret.
