Festive Cypress Final - (Moodity) 🐮✨ (Patreon)

Hey guys! Hope you all had a great Weekend! And here he is! Cypress is all ready for Christmas and the Holiday festivities!

This one took a little longer than expected, as while I was painting everything I'd realized after some time that I'd altered the pose position quite a bit, and it was taking more and more adjustments with the liquify tool to get everything in place and adjust the perspective of certain body parts... in other words, I was getting carried away with the painting 😂 But after looking back at the pre-rendered sketch phase again, I had no issue with that initial pose, so I just started painting from scratch again. You'll be able to see when I make that switch back in the timelapse 😌👍

This second attempt was much better though, and kept in line with the same pose and perspective, (though I did adjust the ratio of the canvas to allow for a bit more leg room). As for other changes, I opted out of the thigh pants and just went with a more Christmas-y looking loincloth, which matched better with his hat, and bells, I think. 😆

Also, while I was always planning on adding in the little gif for the shifting Christmas lights, I also threw it into Capcut and added a little snow filter and some music for fun 😂 (YES IT'S CORNY BUT WHATEVER 😂)

Regardless, hope you guys like the final piece!

On another note, I'm working to get that "back view" Krampus piece painted as well, and if all goes well, I may be finished sometime tomorrow! But if not, I'll have it finished after Christmas!

And so if this ends up being my last post before the 25th, I just want to say Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays to all of you, and I hope you have wonderful and festive time with those you love! 😊

Thanks again!
