Step-by-step: "before landing in Alabasta" (Patreon)

I admit that this piece was like homework for me, to learn and apply things i'd like to be better at when it comes to art. I really wanted a sense of depth, perspective, interesting/moody lighting, light particles etc etc. I didn't get the results i wanted but it was still a very fun study either way, and i still learned a bit more!

Lineart:

Shading:

Render (color balancing, added lighting effects):
