"Even if it's a lie- especially, then. Please..."
Just a reminder, they're only roommates. Leon's just one of those bleeding heart types. Poor Skye got caught in one particularly desperate episode. Though I don't think Skye's buying it. Strong boundaries mean a lot to them both. She isn't the kind to be moved by a pair of crying eyes- & Leon knows it. Goes to show what a new low he's hit. Knowing the answer but unable to stop himself from grappling with someone, anyone he can to cling onto.

Did this to work off the rust of the last month & some change. I had been stuck on the painting/coloring phase of quite a few pieces but felt stuck. Wanted to do something that could be safe to fail at while working through some feelings. As it is, Skye is the OC I draw the most, second to Leon. So putting them together somehow was the only safe bet. Spending most of my time AFK since October 7th & losing some important connections through it. Things are doing better now. Closure is always better than limping on forever for something that's broken. Even if it comes with some really raw, vulnerable emotional payloads. It's better to have that clear divide a thing is done with than hold on to something just to avoid feeling alone.
I like it. I feel like I took this piece as far as I was able to. Put to use a lot of the brushes I made earlier this year. Helped cement the roles some do in my work. I think I enjoy this look for painting under & over some sketches as opposed to trying for linework? Linework art like I did for some October prompts does feel easier to "finish" a piece earlier, with flat colors or more rigid shadows- it's like a different ending for my art. Here I put down flat colors under the sketch, did shadows, some highlights, focusing on the contrast of values. Then I went on top of that to make the shadows more organic to the shape, putting down "fur flicks", glowing, & draw over the sketch lines where I feel like ambient occlusion wouldn't justify the lines? I still don't know this method well enough to be able to discourse or lecture on it but I feel pretty happy with the outcome. It feels pretty good. I can sense there's a "glass ceiling" for where I can improve next but it does thankfully feel pretty far away from me? As though it is something I can work at once I've really filled up what all I can do with what I have already on this piece. It still feels like a leap of faith to transition from the flat colors/primer under the lines on to doing the shadows & finishing touches, I am more confident that I have a way forward. Focus on darker shadow, & give the lighter family of tones just a little effort. I don't know. It would be nice to have someone to talk to about art in-the-weeds like this, so to speak.
