Commission work for FatesDreams of his original character, Geela "Happiness" Legacy.
This commission was really cool, coming off the cusp of a weekend of poor sleep but effective practice! The first two sessions working on this were normal, but the third came after a weekend of super janked sleep. I have two works from that weekend that I'll be posting soon.
During my janked sleep, though, I ended up spending some of that time on more shape-oriented rendering! I've been heavily focused on creating a span of values using shape design between value transitions, and controlling constrast in lights/shadow. It's hard to explain briefly, but essentially it means introducing more geometric shapes throughout the art and allowing myself to be more expressive with brushwork.
Definitely going to see more similar techniques applied in the near future!
