Great question! It varies a lot but if I haddd to average maybe 10 hours? But it’s can range like 4-24 hrs lol

Yo this is soooo cool!!! Genuinely your compositions are ahhh!! Quick Q, How long does it usually take you to complete a piece from idea to render?

Your art of Holly Black characters always make me kick my feet. Just got my copy of Enemies & Lovers last week! 😊

Great Question! For this piece, I found a pose reference I liked, then created a more dramatic lighting scheme with a 3D model, and then used gradient maps to adjust colors till I liked it! (Sounds like a lot but I promise it’s not super complicated lol) I recommend experimenting with gradient maps if you struggle with finding a cohesive pallet!

Love these! How are you going about choosing your colors for whimsical pieces like these? Find a reference with lighting you enjoy?

there can never be enough Cardan art

Thank you!! 😛❤️

I don’t mind at all! This piece of Cardan from start to finish took about 10 hours, (which is a bit long for my portraits) but the time for my pieces varies depending on complexity and deadlines haha. I usually start a ton of pieces (like this one) don’t work on them for months, then pick them back up when I have extra time between projects and finish them. 🕺

hehehe i remember seeing this in ur dump from a while back!! if u don't mind me asking, how long does it usually take you to finish a piece? i feel like i rush myself to finish a piece as fast as i can, but you seem to take your time with your artwork, so now i'm curious !
