Mako and the Baeries: Blame the Edit (Patreon)

TLDR: Mako has 2 new folders in the packs. Links at the bottom of this post. 2 many images to attach to this post. 

I've not been able to get Mako out of my head. I was really enjoying working on the picture and using Procreate to paint it from start to finish. Even though painting in a traditional style has never been my strong suit. For better or worse I've always coloured using Lassos and Gradients in the Comic Book colouring style. 

When I was nearly finished working on Mako I still hadn't thought of a background and suddenly I realised that since this is the Final Fantasy franchise and his name is Mako that I would do a Lifestream style background from FFVII. I got so caught up in the idea, that I didn't realise it wasn't working. Mako became washed out and the picture just never felt right. 

I don't want to be the kind of person who just ignores my gut so I spent the last few hours making 2 alternate versions of all variants. A lighter more Vibrant version, and a New Years edit using the background I made yesterday for the New Years Eve pic.

I'm sure many people will prefer the original, but I'll feel better having all of these out there. :)

I've updated all the packs and here are two links to the new versions.
