## Commentary
|
|
|
|
I always wanted to draw some Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fan art, but unfortunately it took a
|
|
while before I got around to it! This is Mythra, while she's standing around in Torigoth.
|
|
|
|
This is probably one of my most complex pieces of 2022, and of my favorites. The image is drawn at 8K,
|
|
and downscaled when posting online. I really wanted to make sure I drew at a high enough resolution for
|
|
wallpaper usage, so I hope you enjoy!
|
|
|
|
Now if I had to do this piece again, I would definitely use some kind of perspective ruler. I decided
|
|
to inflate my ego a bit and didn't use any reference (except for the character design and the background)
|
|
and that visibly hampered the final product. I really tried to make it look like she's naturally leaning
|
|
back on the fencing, but oh well. I'm most happy with the lines, the shading (despite it being mostly layers)
|
|
and the far background bits. This is also one of my first major art pieces to be done fully inside of Krita too!
|
|
|
|
I decided to not fully paint this all on one layer, but instead use layer effects to accomplish shading to...
|
|
a pretty okay result. I had split up each shading layer based on the material, one for cloth, one for skin, one for hair,
|
|
etc. While the best looking bits are the cloth and metal bits, the skin in retrospect could've used some more
|
|
love. In the future I should just do a quick paint-over pass...
