It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn! Trying a completely different technique and this went places; at first her face was too ashen and she reminded me of a vampire. I warmed up the skin a bit but mainly this was just an experiment of making some gold highlights pop.
Gotta get more ideas for drawing!!!
Ris being silly while Irutha is infinitely tolerant, even while her arm is totally squished. It’s funny, I’ve tried to not have mobile phones in my drawings because I feel like it heavily dates the drawing to current times instead of some nondescript fantasy timeline but it just seemed right that she would be playing a phone game in that position, so here we are!
Yay it’s finally done!
I thought my hand was totally going to die since I don’t use a tablet enough to use it well; I keep death gripping the stylus and my hand was twitching uncontrollably.
I can’t wait to go back to some pencil drawings and destroy my back instead!
The Ethereal set – Ristrel, Syndrafiel, Yverrine, Fool. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a four character panel or more/less; when I was looking through my records, I had the option of adding Entropy (who I’ve never drawn, even in concept) and the Ethereal Angel (I forgot her name, it’s too long and I never mention it), but I also didn’t have design for her. So just the four main ones it was!
I drew each one separately so their heights and sizes aren’t quite right, but the whole goal of this was to get a standalone yet flowing background for each of them, that was definitely fun to do!
So much progress, but still so far from where I want to be!
It’s also cool to see what I kept and what I changed! The only thing I forgot to carry over was the beads for the crown (I was debating whether or not to keep it anyway); instead of it being held up by physics, I guess it’s now held up by magic!
I gotta figure out how to make a more saturated piece using Clip Studio Pro. It was easy with dodge in Photoshop but I’m trying to create my own colours now and it’s hard!
Yes this is a very shoddy edit of the panels, I didn’t try too hard and was just checking to see if the format worked. The end goal is to colour this! But we’ll see if I ever get that done since it feels like it’s a big project and I still don’t have enough skill and patience.
