Commission WIP: Princess Serenity (Part 2)
🕑 Added 2024-12-21 18:00:05 +0000 UTCFor my art post this month, I'll be continuing my progress on this commission of Princess Serenity from Sailor Moon! Here's Part 1.
Oh, and before anything - I think I'll tentatively open for commissions now that I don't have a job and I'm waiting on Sugarplum Cafe feedback before continuing work on the game. I'll still take them on a case by case basis (i.e. it depends on the subject), but I'm more likely to accept commissions with fashionable girls. Here is my latest commission info if you're interested - just shoot me a DM here or email me at thelettergii@gmail.com.
In the last post, we stopped at the lineart stage:
And then I roughly added colors to get a sense of what the color scheme would be. Color palettes are my weakness, but I'm pretty happy with the palette I chose of purple, pink, and white gradients.
I couldn't help but want to add a few more curlicues, so I decided to add some floral filigree on the house just to improve the composition.
I showed this to the client for a second opinion, and she loved the idea - but requested that the flowers not be roses (too overused) and instead moonflowers. I was totally fine with that!
So here's the coloring finished (the blending is less scribbly in places) and the moonflower filigree done. I wasn't loving the background color I chose in the last one, and after toying with many ideas I settled on another gradient. (Textures are carrying this piece hard and I have no issues with that.)
But one thing I felt bad about was that the client had originally reached out to me because she loved my tarot/filigree border commissions, like these ones. While I liked the current composition, I felt like I should still include the tarot theme somehow to honor her request. So tune in for next month's post as I work this illustration into a tarot card!
