Process : Groom&Bride Karlach/Shadowheart (Patreon)

Hi all! Here's the process for the latest monthly art with Karlach and Shadowheart :)

I've tested out some new brushes, which are nice to look at when you zoom out but I'm not sure I like the zoomed in look of it. Still it was a nice to test out some new methods.

Concept

The shoe part looks weird on first glance lmao. But the concept is never really detailed and when I deem it necessary for a difficult part, I add detail to it later when I'm doing linework.

Linework

... and adding more details:

Base Colors

Rendering

Coloring some linework:

Adding in shadows and gradients:

And adding in details in a separate layer on top.

References

Had a variation of references this time since I'm not used to drawing suits. The references are for specific parts:

Shoes - obvious I guess

Muscular guy in suit pants

Blue/Gray suit for how the jacket folds when tucked behind the arm.

White suit & blue shirt for the collar.

Navy suit jacket for how the shoulder part folds when the arm is in this position

A skirt (from Chanel) that I got as inspiration.
