Step-by-step: « back in your arms »
🕑 Added 2023-07-08 17:00:05 +0000 UTCConcept sketch:
Sketch (revised the composition to have them more boxed-in, andhave that nice triangular composition with all the empty space on the left which looked a lot better to convey the closeness):
Lineart:
Colors (didn’t save my flats, apologies):
Render (color calibrating and added shadows):
Scrapped concept #1: Ruidus (i liked it as environmental storytelling. The outside being threatening and ominous but them not looking out, engrossed in the comfort and warmth of the inside. Disregarding the threat for this one moment. but didn’t push it further because i couldn’t figure out a way to make it how i wanted it haha)
Scrapped concept #2: Dawn (i didn’t push this concept at all, just the light in the window is different here. The idea was environmental storytelling again, implying Imogen stayed up all night comforting Laudna. I just liked the warmth of the night better, ironically)
That concludes this step-by-step!
i tweaked this one way too much during rendering, i have another dozen versions with barely noticeable changes lmao not even interesting to share. I think the interesting parts from this piece was the composition.
explaining my choices for expressions, composition and colors is more fun than just showing boring steps for coloring (which changes from piece to piece, and isn’t always good for a step-by-step) :) hope it gave y’all some insight too!

Awesome step by step process! I can't wait for the next episode when they can have a 1 on 1 without the chaos of a 10 man table. 😆
