Actually been meaning to ask this one for a while~
Do you have a metallic pigment you’re using to get this incredible luminescence on the gold parts of Osiris’ tattoos or is this some other sort of magic you’re working? I squint and stare every time and can’t figure it out but it’s utterly mesmerizing 💛
Sometimes I do use some golden foil or shiny/metallic paints to highlight the gold parts of Osiris' tattoos, but lately I've almost stopped doing so. Usually it scans as a shitty gray mess, so I have to edit/overpaint it digitally. That way the whole point of it is kinda lost, although the way it shines irl on paper is so extremely pretty ; ~ ;
Now I mostly just paint it by hand as any other metal stuff I draw - with inks, gouache and pastels (just a bit, to add this soft blurry shining effect). That was the case in the drawings above!
Also thank you! 💙
