Hello, dear ones!
Hope everyone is well and safe!
I've had some issues with the site the past week. It was giving me errors every time I tried to like a comment, post or even write a comment myself. I think it's fine now. ^^
Can't wait to show you most of the stuff I worked on for the past 2 years.

Inspiration
Today is dedicated to one of my muses and a great streamer on several platforms - the gorgeous Grimoire. She gave me several photos to choose from and this one caught my attention immediately. It's from her Instagram account.

Work in progress
Started the sketch in Clip Studio Paint using the same color palette and testing different brushes. Turned out not quite I was looking for. XD

That didn't stop me to keep rendering the painting until I reached satisfactory level. But because I got caught up in painting and doing it on stream, forgot to save many screenshots.
But here's the next stage. The face is already looking better. The hair needs more work tho'.

It's almost finished... not quite. Even at this stage the painting was missing something. I wasn't sure what that was so I had to take a break from it and come back again. I wanted to choose a background color that creates a bit of a contrast with the skin tone and hair. But also wanted to achieve this dreamy theme to compliments her look.

So here's the final stage. The finishing touches, color correction and Noise effect were done in Adobe Photoshop.

Hope you like it. ^^
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Are you feeling happier with it at the end? It's a really nice portrait, the fading out at the bottom is a nice touch :)

Thank you, Ry! ^^
I was happy at the time. Now... am making another portrait of her.
Here's the sneak peek.

Thank you so much, Ry! ^^
I wanted to make her skin iridescent, but now I need to paint the same effect on the body as well not only the face. ^^

Excellent digital portrait. Thanks for the steps too.

Thank you very much!
I usually save more screenshots, but in this case was streaming the entire process and only saved .png files after each session. XD

Next session you can share:-)

Your works are amazing as always ^^ Everything is so smooth and nice ♥ Hope you found out what felt missing in the end!

Then I guess you can say this was a comMISSION accomplished.

I'll see myself out

Thank you so much, dear! ❤️
This was the best I could do at the time of making the portrait. It's not great, but it was a milestone for me from which I was able to get better at combining most tools from Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. ^^
Consistency is one thing I still need to work on. XD

@kothy | March 21, 2021, 11:30 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

Ooooh, combining tools that's pretty cool! I love the effects you put using Photoshop! Makes everything pop out ^^ (or I might be biased because I like purple >u<)
