Valentine's with Gale and Blue

Much like the sketch, I should be able to upload the coloured version here, so... I'm going to. Here you go! Have a nice high-res. I decided to tackle this one digitally because... well because I could mostly, I could use the practice! While I do have lots left to figure out about digital art, I do think this turned out alright and I hope y'all like it!

Gotcha, that makes real good sense! I'm excited to see how you experiment!

Not specifically, but digital art is drastically more flexible and capable than watercolors, so given all the new capabilities it has my style should naturally diverge a bit as I learn how to use all that firepower and incorporate techniques that are impossible with my usual medium. However, I haven't learned any of that yet so I'm just falling back on all my old watercolour techniques, which is why this more or less looks the same, heh.

Ruaidri

Are you specifically wanting your digital to look distinct from your watercolors?

Bloudin Ruo

This definitely turned out to be quite a nice v-day for him, for sure!

Ruaidri

The style is definitely turning out quite similar to my watercolours... that's not on purpose exactly, but I guess a result of me not knowing any other way to paint yet, digital or otherwise, heh. As I learn more about digital the styles may diverge a bit more, we'll see! Glad ya like it though, thanks! Yeah, the outside light is definitely too bright... bad habit. :P

Wow this turned out so great! Love Gale's black lingerie, and Adhina's pink wrappings! I honestly didn't even realize this was digital before you pointed it out in the description! Now that I look at it, I can see the differences between this and your usual watercolors, but you did such an absolutely fantastic job of translating your style into digital that it wasn't even apparent at first. Very nicely done :3 Don't know what else to say! Lighting is great, background is simple enough that it doesn't get in the way of the action but sturdy enough that it doesn't feel weird, the wood textures look fantastic and the content is, as always, top notch! A weird thought: Seems pretty light outside for a candle-lit dinner! I guess these three plan to have fun for quiiite some time into the evening, ha!

oh fuck, lucky birb. and lucky gale too~

Aw, thanks! :3

Ruaidri

Thanks! No worries, we'll still be seeing plenty as I try to tick off that waiting list- all those will be in watercolours, so there'll be no shortage of those any time soon!

What a lovely (and hot) scene

I think your digital really looks wonderful, though there is something incredibly technically impressive to see your watercolors!
