Whew, this picture was a doozy! I thought painting it would be easier than drawing and inking it, but I was wrong! It felt like his colors were a little different depending on whether I was looking at his in-game model or official art. I had my heart set on being more experimental with the colors, since I’ve been enjoying doing gradients lately. Things that were supposed to be gray became purple. And things that were supposed to be teal became a spectrum from teal to purple. I ended up making the picture more teal and purple than blue! I asked myself whether there was any actual blue in this picture, and then I added more blue to his armor. There was a stage where his pants looked good, but I messed it up by adding turquoise to the highlights before letting the rest of it dry, so his pants turned out a bit splotchier than I would like. After sleeping on it, and after getting some very uplifting comments, I like the picture a lot better now that it's done! It's a shame the process of creating it wasn't as fun and carefree as it could be, but now that I've gotten used to drawing him, the next one should be more enjoyable! Also, I'll get some more pens. Next time, I'll draw him with his beautiful periwinkle eyes open! <3 PS. Look closely to see his white eyeshadow! There's glitter in it, but it's hard to see it in the scan.
