Arcane print thumbnails (Patreon)

My thumbnailing process while trying to come up with a composition for this print. I didn’t go with the second image (which was my first idea) cuz I thought it was taking itself too seriously and a very dramatic piece- I think I would have to paint it cleaner to reflect the mood better. I gave it another go and came up with this more fun and loose composition where I’d go in with a very sketchy technique.
