Fullscreen. Click to zoom. THIS IS AN (EARLY) BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR @MARTIN-ANIMATES. Really tried to make it look like him (Yes I know what he looks like irl.) I suggest going to his profile and wishing him a happy birthday. (January 7th) Note to Martin: This took so much effort compared to my usual stuff. I really tried to make it personalized and likeable for you. You said you liked writing. So this was my concept. I hope you like it, you honestly deserve so much more for being such a supportive friend who always had my back. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This might be the longest time I've spent on a digital painting. 17 hours. I redid the sketch over 10 times and the background was, as usual; the absolute death of me. I'm really happy with how this turned out. My only pet peeve is the wonky lighting that I got too excited and didn't bother fixing 16 hours in. But otherwise I'm content. Also I'm still experimenting with this new style so it might look slightly odd. Time Taken: Character - 6 hours Backdrop - 7 hours Candles and other objects in the foreground - 3 hours Fixing - 1 hour Total: 17 hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits: - Martin for being the wonderful human being that he is (and for his OC and face lol) - Music is the Instrumental version of Eminem - Mockingbird. - Me for going through 17 hours of struggle to make this piece. Loved by @CauchySheep and @GameGirlX! Oh and you know me I LOVE FEEDBACK. SO PLEASE.
