TROBBIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

anyways

I originally planned a flash bang

where the screen is just white lmao and there's a barely visible figure of trobbio-

also I just realized how I searched hi-

Looking back, I'm kind of surprised this only took me three and a half hours, considering I had to restart a good chunk of it from scratch a good way through it. He was a little too wide, I think:

The early sketch is the only layer that was preserved in its original state, but I had already finished the clean lines and flat colors when I realized he didn't look quite right. I ended up completely erasing and redoing everything from the chest up except for the right wing, which underwent only minor modifications before being duplicated to make the left wing.

Oh, and new milestone reached: This drawing marks the first time I ever bothered to try using any of the different brushes that hang out down here in the bottom-left corner:

That's right, until now, brush presets where a completely untapped facet of this software because I didn't know how to use them and was terrified I'd change something and would have no clue how to change it back. But I finally got over it and ended up using "b) Airbrush Soft" to do some shading on the wings and upper fluff. This preset (actually most presets, after some testing) is pressure-sensitive (I am using a tablet), which I haven't had to work with before, so that was interesting. I was initially going to try to shade the fluff so as to make it look fluffier, like how he looks in promotional art—

—but after a few minutes I concluded I had no clue what I was doing and gave up. Some other time, perhaps.
