I hate how the only thing I can do while taking a shower is showering

art for a patrol scenario :] basically, while in moonlit cave Shockpaw encounters a fledgeling murkrow who had fallen out of their nest. Shockpaw helps the murkrow find a safe path back to their nest :]

uhhhhh. alternate versions and progress shots and stuff under the cut as usual

rough sketch for figuring out the composition n stuff! the text below the murkrow reads "guide eye;" i planned on having a light-colored floor combine with shockpaw's webs and the rays of light to guide the viewer's eye up to the nest.

the final sketch. once again, doing rough shading to figure out the shape of rocks and stuff is a method i highly recommend using!

lineart and stuff :] i put different color segments (ex. murkrow's eyes and tail band, the tops of the rock pile, etc) on different layers to make coloring significantly easier

the final color! murkrow has slightly different colors from the ken sugimori art for the species. most noticeably, their eyes are more pinkish. also, murkrow is pretty scruffy - that's because they're a fledgeling and fledgeling crows just look like that hehe

version with shading but without effects! the final version has glowing crystals/stars, blurred foreground, and light rays. shading was one of the most time-consuming stages since there were so many objects that needed it. i ended up splitting shading layers into multiple folders so it would take less effort to clean up.
