[PREVIEW] "Memento Mori" cover (sfw)

CW: the text below contains spoilers of the videogame Hades (post final boss battle), read at your own discretion!

Diamante: The zine's wrapping up! Preorders are coming very soon and I'm excited, I really hope it all goes well.

Here's a preview of my clean cover! All things considered, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and how I managed to deal with many elements.

I got inspired by the moment when you defeat Hades and you find yourself in Greece for the first time. That feeling of awe is stuck in my brain and won't let go.

My references for this were the game, of course, and the pine trees on the island of Santorini! Which I didn't know but they do indeed grow defying gravity. It's really cool.

The stars in the sky are also (kind of) the night sky of Santorini in winter (thank you, sky maps). How many constellations can you spot?

I planned a timelapse of this, but Clip Studio didn't record it all for some reason! I'm so sorry!! I'll make up for CSP's mistakes with a step by step process post next month! ♥
