It's a real treat to see the behind the scenes process of your work, I love reading your thoughts and ideas on each panel. I love RGB and very happy he got his own big painting, so cool and hot! Makes me want a hotdog real bad

I have a question related to your process: how do you create the variations that have a totally different lighting? (For instance, the night version of this piece.) Do you anticipate them when putting together the first version, or do they come completely after the "main" piece is done? They're my favorite exclusive content on your Patreon, the night versions of your Seamus/Eddie pieces are so gorgeous for instance!

Love the details and how you make them evolve (especially RGB's erection in your 'variations'). "Each man's is a little bit different, and each man DOES it a little bit different!" (Quote from a Marine embassy security guard, or MSG)

I'm so happy you like the night time version!! I definitely did not anticipate doing that when I did the main version of the piece. It all came after the fact. My process was first darkening the entire scene (Photoshop actually has a "night from day" filter you can apply to an image, and I did use that as a starting point). Then, I used additive layers to gradually paint in (with many many overlapping transparent brush strokes) the lights. Each brush stroke softly brightened when was underneath it, in whatever color I had chosen, so it allowed me to paint the light sources back into the darkened scene.
