This artwork has a weird genesis... it started with "omg I'm so inspired, let's go" until the lineart , went through a "omg it's all wrong" and ended with a "did I fix it or made it worse?"

My struggle has initially been with colors - I didn't balance properly the yellow and green amount in the flat colors and rim light layers, then tried to fix it by adding to the shadows a blue tint and an *insane* amount of adjustments to correct luminosity, contrast, values... as I mentioned, I'm still unsure if I managed to fix it or worsened the initial situation haha
Green is definitely the color I struggle the most with! That's something I need to face and solve in 2024 😤

I also struggled with anatomy - I realized too late that the pose wasn't as easy as I had anticipated. You can see how Kaveh's face and arm positioning was fixed when it was already all rendered.
