Gonna use my Photoshop skills to create Thistle's spellbook brb

*puts a magnifying glass in your hands*

Close-ups of one of the maps I'm most proud of

All the details were done by hand, each pencil stroke, and I can't believe I actually had the patience for it all

Full version under the cut

Drawing and painting all the tiny locations taught me a lot, and I'm grateful I got commissioned to work on such a beautiful map. Only thing I regret is that it's so big so many details are lost, when looking at it so I made this post so the close up views might do them justice

I got a heart from my internet crush

Safe to say my day is off to a great start

Making of Thistle's Spellbook

Top part is coming along nicely...

Crying... how do I... what?

Fine. Let's use our brain for this. So we're gonna use a feather shape on a stick within a group as guide to keep the angle mostly uniform, we'll get rid of them later.

Once I started blocking out the shapes, I began adding effects in, just to test them first

The wings were a real struggle... I did them on a regular layer and used a mask to chip away the thin detail of the lines

Making sure I have both versions (manga and anime). A deep reddish version for the manga one and a golden one to match the one that appears in the anime

The golden "wheel" in the center was actually easier than the rest even though I did have to think a bit on how exactly I would go about it. In the end I used the polygon shape to make the spiked circle then made copies to make the inner rings. As for the eye I made 1/4 of it then mirrored it until I had the full eye

Had to tweak the colors quite a bit, but I used Color Overlay for all my shapes, making it easy to change the color at any point

After about 6 hours, and lots of tweaking and blasting music in the background to stay sane it was finally complete.
