This should be it. I've asked for some mentor-esque critique to see if there is something I'm not seeing, but barring that, I'm done!
I'll be posting when prints go up on INPRNT soon :)

I feel like this will be finished pretty soon, tomorrow almost certainly.
The plan is to put this up available on INPRNT alongside several other pieces so you can get your piece.
That library needs an update anyways.

Working with cinematic shadows, not specifically accurate but good for storytelling.

Playing with color today before work. Just some basic glazing after a little cleanup of the grey scale. Simple stuff.

This is almost done... Been a weird week since last posting; insurance woes, unexpected medical bills unpleasant first world problems BUT! Still painting and still making for the love of the craft.

Captive sun 2 a darker thought but more what I'd envisioned:
A being with the heart of a dying star.

Been buried in concept art today but I was able to squeeze in a little sculpting and toning to this.

Moving into color... The first image is just the first basic kneejerk but the second is where I'm leaning after some digital witchcraft to do fast, non-destructive experimentation.

More forward movement on this, shaping environment and making changes.

An older sketch I'm working over with the digital tool. Really pretty happy with how it enhanced the pencil work without just being a trace.

New tool tests... Haven't been posting these but I'm oddly pleased with the sphere and the fell beast doodle to test the 'pencilness' color courtesy of an overlay layer

Rough critique on tool and image today... Gutted . Also furious by people saying 'why would I learn pencil techniques when generative AI is a thing?' If you're one of those people, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

She's rising from the sands of a forbidden necropolis lost to myth.
The pencil brush I'm building for myself is working great and being favorable to how I like to work.

The pencil brush needs adjusting to not kill my hand when I need pressure opacity expression. I like what it's doing though, just needs efficiency and health improvements.

Modified a brush to replicate pencil today. I think this is an interesting work path and might improve workflow given my flow preference. Building up off of a sketch to test how I like it... So far, so good.

Ok I know everyone is getting tired of seeing this; I am too. Actually found a process stride and I'll try to make a YouTube video on the full process down the line. For now, got the stride ❤️

I felt like this needed to come back to line work in a meaningful way. It kept looking like a tiny pencil sketch (which, ya know, it was) and that was the thing that bugged me, so here we are. Revisions.

Color test today but gonna clean up the foreground-background tone progression to encapsulate the appropriate scale. Plus adding some interest to the foreground dark area to break it up.
