The Smell of Rain - Final Artwork

Added 2019-03-01 11:25:36 +0000 UTC

When I posted this on social media, I got quite few comments saying "I can almost smell/hear the rain" and I thought that was so beautiful! So that's what inspired the title.

This painting went to smoothly because I nailed down the colour scheme and values pretty early on. After that it was just a matter of tightening everything up. I hope you like how this turned out!

It's part of my personal project Phantasma. Animism is a major element in the world I'm building. It's the belief that pretty much everything around us is alive and has its own spirit. So these little glowing dots are rain spirits that come out and dance in the air while it's raining.

Also, I wanted to say hello to the new patrons! I'm so glad you've found your way here and decided to support me. Thank you so much! Just fyi: I'm typically sending out rewards at the 4th of each month.

I hope you like this illustration. Thank you for everything. <3
