Here Comes the Queen

Rey is fantastic.

Have an update!

Christmas must be around the corner! Here's an update!

Fell in love with the brother dynamic of Big Hero 6. And I think this is how Tadashi gets Hiro's attention/embarrasses the living daylights outta him. He'd probably sing it in the cafe, in the lab, out in public...

Aye, the Force is strong with this one.

 After many hours of work, I finally finished another piece for Salt Lake Comic Con this September! Introducing Jedi Merida! Because you know that deep down, you really wanted to see it. And just for fun, I posted my process.

SKETCHING. Nothing is more important than starting off with a sketch. I usually trace over my line work in photoshop to help preserve the original idea I had. 

After completing the basic line work, I started some basic painting, mainly to see where I want the color palette to go and what looks best. I also played with lighting.

After settling on a color palette, I refined the painting and added some more details, i.e. the family crest, blush on the face, etc. I also changed up my lighting and refined that. 

After some more tweaking and finally deciding that it was too much to paint a tartan design on a time crunch, the piece is completed!
