It’s definitely bad practice, but every so often the pun comes first, and the image comes after. This was one of those times… Obviously. I even made a little logo, for the cover of the book that this will never be.
Despite being a silly way to work, I had a lot of fun creating this image. I got to model the world’s dodgiest lettuce, learnt a lot of new Blender tricks and got to mess around with a slightly new approach to painting.
All in all, a successful project 🙂
