Surrender - Full Process ⚔️ (Patreon)

Loved this piece, had so much fun with the process. I even tried a slightly more detailed rendering style for the face of the character, turned out better than I expected. I find when painting complex subjects such as armour (with reflections and infinite colour variations) it's extra important to simplify your subject. At many points in the rendering process I had to remind myself to just leave things alone instead of chasing a photo realistic look for every part of the armour. Usually you'd choose to place more detail and care in focal points you expect the audience to linger on. Here for example, the face, the torso. References attached! :)
