This is completely off-topic but... I don't know how long I've been on this site at this point, however this is the first time I've ever seen The Dannigan. After the countless interactions with staff, and by proxy Kaerri, I was wondering if I'd ever see them. <3 hi!
Also to put the conversation...
You're the artist, you get to decide what you want and don't want to do <3 I enjoy seeing all of your paintings no matter what. But I definitely get that sometimes my own paintings could go on for weeks and I have to make a conscious decision to not include a lot of details because it'd take too...
Well it doesn't need too much work, I would say just more shading in some areas. Like the newest image if you dropped a bit of shadow on the bottom side of the rings it would imply more roundness unless you're going for hard bands, then maybe add a bit of shading to the fingers on the bottom...
Ohhhh okay. The more traditional way of doing it, I should've known given our past discussions haha! I think the metal is really beautiful, maybe lacking in a bit of depth in some areas (I hope that's not offensive, let me know otherwise), but it's a very pretty style <3
I particularly love the way you paint metal, do you use a dual color brush or do you do the shading afterwards?
And no worries! I'm just so behind because I keep getting unfollowed from the thread. I'm happy to hear you're still on the grind!
sorry to double post, but gosh... I am a sucker for purple white and gold. I can clearly tell/see you planned out the color scheme for this one and I love that you offset everything with the green in the back <3
