Cleaned up Flat colours
Added 2018-08-07 22:52:45 +0000 UTCHoping folks aren't sick of this picture. I ended up really wanting to do this as an 'illustrative' image which will include linework.. The problem was that the linework I had was impossibly messy and sketchy, so I spent the week cleaning things up and re-colouring parts of the image in prep for doing some shading work and final passes.
My portable tablet is finally giving up the ghost, if slowly. Its been a great tablet for probably over a decade now (so long that they don't make them anymore!). Replacing it won't be in the cards for a little while, but I still have the big ol' beast tablet in the studio. Farewell bitty tablet, you drew many a butterfly.
Going to try and have a few different sketches done. I realize I've kind of been tossing the same one out there in different iterations. There will be only one final posting, and that's when it's finished.
Hope you all are having a good week!

He's also got a 'multiply' layer put on him to darken him and pull him forward slightly since he'll be sitting in a more shaded area.
