All good, I've listed them here!

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
