Hello, dear ones!
Hope everyone is well and safe!
I've had some issues with the site the past week. It was giving me errors every time I tried to like a comment, post or even write a comment myself. I think it's fine now. ^^
Can't wait to show you most of the stuff I worked on for the past 2 years.
Inspiration
Today is dedicated to one of my muses and a great streamer on several platforms - the gorgeous Grimoire. She gave me several photos to choose from and this one caught my attention immediately. It's from her Instagram account.
Work in progress
Started the sketch in Clip Studio Paint using the same color palette and testing different brushes. Turned out not quite I was looking for. XD
That didn't stop me to keep rendering the painting until I reached satisfactory level. But because I got caught up in painting and doing it on stream, forgot to save many screenshots.
But here's the next stage. The face is already looking better. The hair needs more work tho'.
It's almost finished... not quite. Even at this stage the painting was missing something. I wasn't sure what that was so I had to take a break from it and come back again. I wanted to choose a background color that creates a bit of a contrast with the skin tone and hair. But also wanted to achieve this dreamy theme to compliments her look.
So here's the final stage. The finishing touches, color correction and Noise effect were done in Adobe Photoshop.
Hope you like it. ^^
Have a great weekend, everyone!
