Gimme a sec, I just gotta check off another artist I've been lucky enough to get an art trade from ehehe >:D Okay, to be fair I think its only been 2(?) BUT THAT NUMBER IS QUICKLY GROWING!! Thank you May for agreeing to trade with me!! You're literally so cool <33 And so is Merryn!! I loved drawing her I have to draw characters with braids more often aggghhhhh!! Oh and press space for the no smoke version, I’m still a bit iffy on if it makes the composition too cluttered so you get both HELLO ITS WHIMSY FROM THE FUTURE!! CHECK OUT MAY'S SIDE RIGHT NOW: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1283241254 OKAY FUTURE WHIMSY OUT I'm actually super happy with this piece which is sorta weird considering how all over the place my process was. I knew I wanted to make this a scene of some sort so I gathered a bunch of refs (which I barely ended up using) and sketched the most nonsensical room possibly ever T>T after ignoring that and drawing Merryn completely, I still didn't wanna deal with the background so I used the basic brush with no opacity and just doodled a bunch until it was less of a mess and got well something! Still it looked really unfinished and not in the cool sketchy way so I did what I thought was gonna be a really stupid time waster, giving the background linework. AND IT WASN'T A TIME WASTER! Sure the lines aren't perfect but I think the lines and hatching actually made it look so much better with out cluttering everything. I usually do lineless backgrounds because I assume they take less time and look better but I think I'll try doing lineart from the get go from now on :D And while I'm not sure its obvious, I did try to go for a softer kinda storybook look with the shading and while I could do better I really like that too! So tl;dr I basically killed it B) Anyway, that's enough about that! If you want an hq version I'll post it, just ask! Hope I did Merryn justice! ~ Code - @ColorSnatch Time taken - 15hrs 14min Merryn belongs to @Dumbelf Art - Me! Music - Hearken by Yaelokre #art
