A rogue's place to stay

Hey everyone, even though only a week has pasted since my last patreon post it feels like months to me haha... I've been trying out some cave/rock walls lately and so I made this pic requested by Fiven over on Twitter.

I made quite a few pics for Fiven in the past. This time I pictured her in her secret hideout surrounded by her treasure. At first the picture was super dark. Reminding myself of my 1st season pics where there were no shadows. no contrast. just darkness. To fix that darkness I took the decision to add some crystals/gems that would light up the room and I also re-used my home made lantern that I love so much <3 !

Spoiler alert : It didn't fix the darkness

I didn't understand what I was doing wrong.. my pic had so many light points but it was still just so dark...

I took a long break. I went outside, sat down and listened to music. Thinking about what the pic could be missing.

We have this old shed at the end of the garden ( full of spooky spiders and I even saw a snake in it once :O !!! ) I went inside, looking for objects I could add to my pic but I found nothing. I turned around and that's when I saw sun rays beaming through the old wood planks. I realized that that was exactly what I was missing ! I ran back to my laptop and broke the stone wall, patched it up with some old planks and ta-daa !

Long story short, I'm bad with lighting in caves.

But I hope you'll like the pic.

Lots of Love,

Penumbra Meloriss.
