Vara, Prophet of Wroth - Hades Fanart (Patreon)

I absolutely love all of the visuals in Supergiant Games’ Hades. In an effort to steal some of that beautiful style for myself, I did a style study and drew Vara as an NPC in the game.

This was a really fun experiment, but I don’t think I could pull it off again. This style uses such fine, crisp black lines and such detailed and hard edged cel shading. It really demands a lot from your lining skill, color design, and knowledge of anatomy. hats off to Jen Zee and all the folks at Supergiant, I can’t imagine all the work it took to create every piece of character and environment art in the game. This one drawing took me about 12 total hours to complete.
