hi I’m like. kind of obsessed with your artstyle and the way you render. your one vendetta chreon post with the really intense lighting is literally so nice to look at I was wondering if you have any like timelapses or speedpaints or tutorials or something as a fellow artist im just really interested in your process.

Hello, of course!!

Admittedly, this particular one was a bit of a bad one for a time-lapse as the actual painting part of the drawing is rather short

(And it flashes a little)

So just to explain what the hell happened with the colours as you can't really see what's going on:

Basically, first I coloured them in with the usual colours I'd use for them. Then, I did a greyscale layer on top for the shadows AND light. On top of that one I put a gradient map that made all the shadows on the greyscale layer a blue and the light portions yellowish, put that entire thing on "hard light", and that's basically how I got to those colours I've had in the end. Just lots of trial and error

But my entire process is usually truly just:

Sketch -> rough colouring -> rough shadows -> painting over everything on a new layer atop -> merging everything at the end to adjust the colours a little

Sorry if this barely helped though, feel free to ask me in dms or something too! And thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like it <3

Something’s wrong
