Revisiting my Noriker trio of Nordland, Macht, and Grace.
There are parts of this that turned out really awesome like Nordland's head, and other parts that are not what they could have been. I know I'm probably one of the only ones to notice these things, but this style holds power for me because it is more than just random squiggly curly cues slapped on the page. Rough spots are what I get for being rushed at the end, but that's okay. I've also realized that watercolors is not the best way to go with these if I want smooth, consistent lines. Gouache works much better as it is easier to get a flat, consistent tone.
