Portrait of a Hanmonster (2h)
So uh, I somewhat unintentionally wound up super-productive last night while I should have been sleeping. Thankfully after maybe two hours of dickering around in Photoshop I still managed to get some shut-eye, and what I churned out was actually worth posting, too!
There are certain artists I look to with particular admiration in regards to how they handle a part of their work, and
Ophryon is one of my all time favorites for color. Seriously, everything they do makes me think of something from my old art history books; the richness and the palettes and the lighting are beyond superb. I got to fangirl anew over a piece they posted yesterday and decided at some godawful hour, what the heck, I want to try painting that way too!
The outcome was different than expected, but I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised. This piece actually reminds me a lot of how I used to handle colors during figure painting in college (I was working with real media back then), where I got super inspired by this upperclassman that took all the hints of color in her shadows and way over-dramatized them with fantastic glazes of lush chroma and I, naturally, tried to imitate them. It became a weird, fixed part of my style for the rest of that semester. I'd forgotten how enjoyable it was until now.
Maybe I'll try other things in this style down the road.

ohhh, this is so lovely. the colors you've used give the fur a very silky sheen! perhaps you could incorporate more of the techniques you used here into your next tutorial video? i'm especially liking the way the hues of the outline shift! did you do that during the sketch process or paint over them later? o:
