“Wreckers! May I ask what you’ve been doing skulking around my ship?”

pausing from drawing to do a tiny lighting demonstration for the anon.

i’ve marked the major light sources. YELLOW is the strongest. PINK is the same as yellow (the sky, basically), but it’s coming in at a steeper angle, so it’s not as strong. the place where pink and yellow meet is where you’re most likely to find the “natural” color of the person you’re painting. forehead, collarbone, on either side of the bridge of the nose, etc.

the BLUE is the reflective lighting.

in this case, it’s false hollywood lighting. if you look in misha’s eyes, you’ll see white reflective dots. those dots are actually the reflection of one of those big white cards you sometimes see on film sets (i have no idea what the official term for them is). film crews use them to reflect light up into actors’ faces so you can see them better.

if i were using a difference source photo, the BLUE might come from water, a bright sandy beach, or even the shirt the person is wearing. it’s secondary light reflecting onto a person’s face from something else that’s being illuminated by the primary light.

i hope that helps? any place the light isn’t touching is the elephant graveyard where the hyenas live. so don’t go there.

just kidding.

those are just the darkest places. under his hair, inside the hollows of his eyes, under parts of his chin. the hollywood lighting card thingys are meant to get rid of those shadows, so misha is actually really well lit in this shot. :)

also new skins and voice line mchanzo kill me

I made some “feel good” renders whilst i battle getting back on my feet.

Hopefully prons soon. But for now, have this.

There can never be enough shimada bros.

Jesse McCree x Hanzo Shimada | Overwatch

At first Hanzo didn’t want to kiss much, something about it being embarrassing. But eventually, the proud warrior couldn’t help the grin that overtook him whenever he had his cowboy so near. And Jesse could do nothing but stare into those sparkling grey eyes, admiring the blush on his lover’s cheeks. It was these quiet, intimate moments between the battles that they both came to anticipate with bated breath: the moments when they could just drink each other in and forget about everything else.

I got a request from @ullronwardtothegorge for some more kissing McHanzo and who am I to deny?
