My personal goal with this piece was to enhace my value structure, so, I started doing a value study before my underpainting, trying to define the big shapes and value relationships. Then, I move to place and work on the color key of the scene.

A bit cuter than usual. But keeping the sketch feels a lot like an underpainting and I really like it tbh

monochrome rendering with the basic round brush for the "underpainting" is actually more fun than i thought

Old underpainting for a "Whore Babylon". Wondering, if I should finally do something with it.. 🤓

Working with a different technique on the splatters underpainting this time. It had a more undersea vibe, so I decided it needed to be a mermaid and her bioluminescent pals

Scan and a little cleanup. If this were a concept for a modeler I'd keep the lighting pretty flat so they wouldn't have to guess at shadow detail. For a painting that was an illustration or part of a pitch I'd tint this the color of the underpainting and work back into it a lot.

I don't have a name for this little dude yet. He gets harassed by another player for "acting like a bot."
This takes place in 2010 so we all remember gold farmers, yeah?

On the right is the b/w underpainting before all the effect layers are applied.
