Mentorship portfolio piece: COMPLETE (Patreon)

I am very pleased to finally share the COMPLETE painting I did for the mentorship I've been taking for the last two months. This has been an incredible learning experience with a big name in the TTRPG/CCG industry, Paul Canavan - and I am SO glad I took his class.I'm posting the final piece + a snapshot of a lot of the prep work I did (studies, mock ups, photo references, and learning how to use Blender & Daz for staging references). There were so many dozens of hours of work into this , but I want to make myself do at least another few pieces with the full process to cement in the skills.

For the piece, I chose to illustrate two characters from our currently longest-running RPG, Stedd (the person) & Piper (the peryton).
