March wallpaper step by step (Patreon)

Initial sketch. I never do closeups for wallpaper's so I decided to zoom in a bit.

At some point when doing the lines I lost the nice angle of Austen's head, without realizing what I was drawing. Alas :(

Thought I'd try something sepia-esque to feel historical (despite the very modern nature of Sunati's suit, hahaha.) I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the background but I was thinking maybe just random pretty backglow?

Adding more detail to the colours, partially by painting on top on a new layer, partially by painting on top with very light, grey-ish oranges/reds on a multiply layer. I'm still not quite sure what's going on in the background (columns???) but I think the composition is nice. 

Adding details + colouring the lines.

Contrast added with adjustment layers, lighting added with overlay layers + glowy things because I need very little excuse to add glowy things to anything :)
