"Playing the Part"

the fate of the world is in their hands! only a black-hearted, selfish person would resist their benevolent rule.

Last piece for the year! A redraw of an old piece!!

Duke Arcturus Aleksander Hyden the IV.

The first of three portraits I did for @kwillow and @chocodile. This is the second painting I ever did in oil on canvas , yet completely different from my first one of Lord Ambroys - oil-on-canvas-painting-of-lord-ambroys -. The project started at the beginning of January and Hyden ( by @chocodile ) happened to be the first one I wanted to work on. It turned out, that it was quite difficult to me, to find out what color his coat is supposed to be. I still think it turned out a little bit darker than it should be and maybe a little bit too much on the "green side". But I also learned a lot about shading and gradients as well as I was reminded of how hard it can be to paint "toon characters" without outlines in this specific style. One can notice it hadn't worked out for the mouth and the eyes.. it just looked wrong so I decided to go with just black lines, what makes them look more toonish again. Speaking of the style, it's hard to overlook that it's completely based on @kwillow 's artwork. This one specifically on the following piece - theo-was-tremblingly-eager-to-help-hyden -. This also means that I don't want to take credit for the artwork itself even in the slightest. In the end I just changed the medium, nothing more. The painting process itself took me about 50-55 hours (yeah, I am that slow) but it brought me a lot of joy and it was a very interesting learning process of how oil colors work.

An attack for @kwillow of their character Ambroys (Amaranthine)!
