Commission done for  airlea and  Skarphedinn of their respective characters! Thank you very much :)

Had worked on some private pictures and switched up my process a good bit. Always a bit of a harrowing experience to go from having barely any experience with a some new elements in your workflow right into paid work and all the extra pressure to perform that brings with it. But I'm quite happy, it's a way to plan colours and values that felt immediately intuitive to me which is nice, since that's the area i felt was the most useless before. In that before, most everything up to the sketch was more or less just to check if the commissioner likes it, only to then be completely painted over with no real elements of it surviving in the final painting. While the new sketch approach is one that actually makes sure that the early sketches actually add to the picture.

Not anywhere close to perfect yet as nothing ever is, but it's a good point to explore from.
