I'm so so sorry for not posting yesterday! Fridays are super busy for me, and if it wasn't busy enough, I was finishing up my very own website! Be sure to check it out if you're interested!
Now, onto the post. When I was fist starting patreon, one of my patreon rewards was a commission if you're giving 10-20 dollars a month. This feature has since been removed and replaced with a calendar (for $10 patrons) and a book (for $20 patrons. This isn't an advertisment (though if you want to be my patron, go for it!) but rather an introduction. My boyfriend when the old feature was still in place was giving $20 a month and ordered a commission of his (most difficult to draw) character; River.
Based off a steampunk fanart originally created by Ninjatic on Deviantart. and one of the reasons I have so much trouble drawing this. While my boyfriend has made her his own character, the original inspiration belongs to someone else. If someone I didn't know asked me to do something like this, I'd refuse, but this piece was for private use, and the money I made from it was money I made whether or not I drew it. That didn't make it any less uncomfortable for me to do though, especially being an artist myself and knowing how much I'd hate it if someone did the same to me.
This piece took a long time to actually complete, especially because I had one reference and it was at an angle. Drawing such a detailed character with only one reference was definitely a challenge, but it was one of those things that I just had to get it done. Making a basic sketch I focused on outlining the primary features so I'd know where they were placed and fit them in before I covered the rest with the parts I had to fill in myself. Though, If I had to name the most difficult feature to draw, it'd be her hair.
Anyway, check out the process below!
