RAAAAAAAHHHHHHH ITS FINALLY DONE ITS DONE ITS DONE!!!!!!

This was a pain in the ass tbh. Not because it was not my usual, but because I literally lost the file at 30 hours, and had to work on top of a jpeg with some pretty major artifacting. I tried my best to fix it up, but alas.

Given the challenge of not having any original layers to work with, I think I managed pretty well. When I lost the file I was at the shading stage, so it wasn’t too bad. But even then there was still stuff I wanted to go back and fix.

This piece taught me a lot in terms of dynamic posing and how even the simplest change in angle can provide a completely different perspective. I had a bunch of side quests that I worked on during the creation of this, which I think helped me figure out just how I like doing things. It’s too bad I didn’t get to implement a lot of the ideas and techniques.
