In the end... I can't bring myself to lower the quality of the illustration. After I finished the character, I really really wanted to see how Fern looks with a proper background so I spent half a day making the background. It works in the end and it works too well. From this piece, I think I can manage to create a simple background but still give the character all the attention. This is new because I rarely succeed with this idea before. Maybe trying to focus on the atmosphere really makes the change. I need to research this stuff more, pretty interesting. 

Moreover, I start something really different when making color on this pic. I used patterns and cut part of the skin from real photos, making it suitable with the color of artwork and paint over it to make skin look a bit more real. This is a very old technique but I have never tried it before because It need some skill to make everything work. The result is pretty good but I don't know if you guys will accept it or not. Well, with just cover artwork like this is hard to imagine. You will know it when I finish the set and post the reward preview.

It's nearly done. I don't mean to make a long set with this anyway. 

Looks like I kept the promise to make it within 7 days like I said haha.

I will be right back.

This turned out so much better than I expected! The inclusions of the background adds so much to it all. It may not have been your intention, but it really hives the illustrations a much more intimate and personal mood. I really like it! And giving fern a sheer outfit was an amazing choice! It's a nice addition to her curves and atmosphere of the piece. Great work all around, I love it!

Fern stood in the field of flowers, a blush on her cheeks and a gentle smile on her face, adding a touch of serenity to this beautiful scene. After a while, she decided to break this tranquility. She gazed upon your face and asked, "Darling, do you know there is a third person in this place?" You were confused by the question at first, but after she started to caress her belly, you understood everything.

This is so good, I feel the urge to write something <3 So here it is.

Yeah, I changed the scale and also cropped the canvas in order to make it suitable for a portrait. You would see her bigger because of the angle and scale though but isn't it even better ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I will try to make more like this in the future ! Thanks man !

Thank you man ! In order to test the new method, I had to render even more detail on her skin and hair so you can see she is more detailed than my usual work.You will know it better on her underwear variant. First time I have ever spent 2-3 days just rendering the character body. This is no joke if I don't want to burn the deadline again. Anyway, I'm glad that you like it. Maybe this is a good way to make a simple set. I will try to optimize the process so that I can make it faster.

Bro, you nearly got me in the first half, ngl lol Anyway, I'm glad that you like the piece. It's pretty ant-climax that I still couldn't show you the whole thing because 7 days passed already. I'm working on it now and you won't wait too long to see everything. P.s: I didn't plan to add dialogue for this set but maybe one or two pages won't hurt.

Agh the blue moon weed is such an amazing element visually and thematically to hone in on for the background. It's one of my favorite earlier episodes and I think it really captures a big part of what I love about Frieren's themes and characters, and the beauty of life. I really see what you're saying about the atmosphere. The space feels so intimate, especially with how front and center Fern is and how the background draws your eyes in to her. You, too, capture the beauty of life in your work, and I'm really interested to see the other variants that you made using this approach to the skin, because she looks really gorgeous here, even through the sheer fabric, which itself a really nice touch. I love the detail to her hair, it looks so luscious! I'm really excited. I'm glad to hear you had an easier time creating a background that was simple but detailed enough to fit the character and frame them well. I'm really interested to see you experiment more with the approach you used here. We're capturing some magic of our own, it would seem ^^

Thank you for your long compliment ! The Hair is more detailed than usual because if It's needed for this new method. Now I know why I don't feel satisfied with close-up portraits so you will see me doing this more often ( God blesses my deadline T.T ) I'm glad that you like the overall idea. I hope I can do well with the background for future work because It's not every time I get lucky to have a good idea like this. Well, just drawing often enough and I will get used to it I guess. I'm working on making variants now, it should be done soon. Brb !
