Cliff painting & process [canon continuation] (Patreon)

I had this image of Cliff stopping on his way home to kind of process what happened, and I also wanted a break from comics (made it a comic). Still, it was nice to use my painting muscles again! (prev comic)

I like having little divider pages in the pdf, so I figured this would work nicely for that <3.

References! I wanted to take it easy so I used a reference pretty closely for the first pose!
The second ref was really useful for the colour scheme, and the third is my own image of the tiny flowers I think look magical at night.

Sketch and blobbing colours down

the ugly stages before I fix it, the second one was so overworked and honestly I wasn't sure if I was just gonna have to quit! Cliffs face was looking so out of character.

It's so hard to translate more 2D styles into more 3D styles, what do you mean the face has depth and shading, help.

I ended up just painting over the top to try and bring it back to the looser original and I was happy with it, finally!

I painted this of them both a while ago in a similar style

Thanks for the support <3
