I confess that I’m not entirely happy with it.

Couldn’t get the hair colour as I wanted it – light blue with red tips, the eyes and lips are not the best either, plus I ate a thumb when adjusting the gunblade and only noticed way too late.

I could fix it, it is a digital painting, it is not difficult. I just no longer had the energy.

This painting was sketched over an existing screenshot from the game (Final Fantasy XIV), but it was holding an umbrella instead of a gunblade and the light was from a different direction. And it was painted while going through WLOP’s curses, in particular the one about fine tunning colour and contrast (https://wlop.gumroad.com/l/xuqngv?layout=profile&recommended_by=library)

All-in-all, though I am unsatisfied about some aspects of it, I am very happy with the result.

I will follow my own advice on it: Paint what you want to paint.

There is no point practicing with still life if your end goal is elsewhere. Sure, they will help with some basic concepts, specially light and shadow, but they are not complex enough.

The result so far is a mess. I’m not happy with quite a few aspects from it, simply because I still don’t have the skills to pull it off.

On the other hand, I am very happy with how things are going, as it is far better than I thought myself capable of.

Well, I don’t.

I know it is not finished but

• I don’t like the rocks
• I don’t like the bushes
• I don’t like the tree bark

Well, sort off.

The module’s subject is a tree on a cliff. It is kind of what I’ll do, but I’ll take a massive liberty on how I’ll approach it. Far more than when I did the Dirty Skull.

So far, what’ve done in about one hour or so (once again I forgot to time when I started), is the sketch and the main colours.

This we have a perfect example of what happens when I try to deviate and inject my own ideas in the middle of it. It doesn’t work.

Either I follow my own ideas from beginning to end, or I follow the course from begnining to end, they do not combine well.

I will not fix (finish) it though. Errors are part of the proccess, and I would be only cheating myself if I went back to fix them during a course.

This could be improved, but to be honest, I can’t be bothered.

I end up not liking the brush I used that much. So that takes a little of the fun. That’s experimenting for you (to you?).

I want to try and take note of the time I take to draw/paint. So far it has been 58 minutes.

It took me two sessions, a few days apart. Not because it was difficult and they were long, but simply because I’m lazy and I often don’t feel like doing anything.

A bit of a story:

For way too long, I think since WLOP first posted Ghostblade on the now defunct DeviantArt, or possibly earlier, I kinda have an idea of writing an webcomic.
