Here are some of process snapshots of this piece of Astarion in Baldur's Gate.

I am a messy painter and I often adjust and change the designs as I paint. (Mostly because I don't have the patience to do proper line art haha)

I start out with a rough sketch, I usually sketch ideas out on my ipad and move to my cintiq to work with colors.

Next I block in rough color thumbnail. I keep this part messy as I just want to figure out the value structure and the overall mood.

At this point, I have collected a myriad of screenshots and reference images from the game, pinterest, and also from artists work that inspires me.

With the references on one screen, I start to paint the details, I work from foreground to midground to background. (Sometimes I'll bounce between the depth when I get bored from painting one thing for too long)

Sometimes after I block in the colors I'll make adjustments. I didn't like how warped the perspective was getting on the building on the screen right side, so I adjusted the vanishing point and added more tiers to the design. I went back into the game and looked at more how the stairs were designed and figured it out more thoroughly with a sketch on on top.

I think sitting down and doing the details is the most time consuming part. I still want the focus to be on the character despite all the detail going on the background. At this point I'm toggling on black & white filters constantly to check the value, grouping everything in the background together, making sure the lighting frames the subject in focus. At this point I realized, I forgot to paint Astarion's hair LOL, and that the bg was getting a bit too detailed, so I used a more textured brush and painted away some of the edge details of bg buildings.

Last, I make final adjustments, and I make a overall lighting/fx adjustment folder. Adding in some noise, adjusting the contrast, color balance, and lighting over all and call it done!

Stickers for Moon. This was when i was finding a style for the boys. So I might redo this actually.

Bunch of doodles from my sketchbook

i cant really draw rn because of Health Issues so i’m just gonna go ahead and dump these here. i drew these a couple weeks ago and didnt intend on posting them cause i mean………. i dont actually go here lmao. i drew these for fun because while i dont know much about fnaf, i DO know a few things about animatronics, n when i saw these two it really struck me how much fun it could be for them to utilize rear projection mapping in their faces. especially since they are meant to be daycare attendants who work with very young children and toddlers, i thought this would be a good way to have them more closely resemble something like a child’s toy while also having moon be able to be corrupted into something more disturbing at the same time. im sure im not the first person to think of this and these are also probably heavily influenced by the copious amounts of fan content i’ve seen around–i’m actually probably more familiar with fan interpretations of them than their canon selves fdjgkfjdlg but ya overall i just thought itd be fun to play around with their faces a bit. lil sad i didnt get to do more but oh well
