This is a work in progress of one of the suggestions I've received.
This one is taking me more time than I've expected. At first the scenario was supposed to be outdoor, but then I thought it would be fun to make it indoor, in Celestia's palace. The background was based on a screencap from the MLP film. The good part about this is that I have a clear refernece for the final composition.
The stone body was clear grey until I realized that Celestia was petrified in dark blue/purple stone from the movie.
That line in the neck looks silly, so I'm going to use another effect based on that green orb that Tempest and King Storm used.
Details I need to refine/add:
-Blushed faces
-Brightness
-Refining the shadows
-Refining the color balance layers
-Refining the hue/saturation layers
-Adding and refining the curve layers
It looks like I need like one hour, but I actually want to refine this. The last drawing had too much lightning.
I'll probably post another sketch that I had in mind since the last week.
Thanks for your support!
Love,
