Commission for CiferJackal in 4k (different versions) + Steps
Added 2021-03-30 16:12:36 +0000 UTCThe commissioner told me his jackal is a medieval fantasy setting type archer/ranger character who's themes include water & stars. So I came up with the idea of depicting him by a lake in a moonlit night scene with plenty of stars. Chose a secondary off-screen warm fire light source to contrast to the cool moonlight from above.
Character belongs to CiferJackal. Thanks for commissioning me <3

It really depends on the pic, here I sketched out some elements of the clothing somewhere in the middle of the process but I first rendered the version without clothes fully and then painted the clothes over it on different layers (they were grouped, so I had like a bigger group for the gloves, and another for the upper body). Doing it somewhere later in the process already gives you the lighting situation and makes it easier I guess to adapt whatever you're adding to it. Its also why I like starting a picture with painting the backgrounds to some degree first, it gives you a mindmap for the lighting in the scene :))
