Some fanart of some characters I liked for a long time but haven't drawn before! This is another painting and it took me around 40~ hours to complete, phew! The last few days were definitely rough with 6-7 hour sessions to finish the piece. But I'm glad it's finally done.
The characters are from a gacha game I played when I was in High School: Puzzles and Dragons.
Ilm:
(So much detail! I took some artistic liberty on some parts of the outfit)
Ilmina:
(Yeah she's a originally a girl, but I drew her as a kemono instead! She was my direct inspiration back when I first created my dragon sona, you might be able to see a bit of resemblance?)
Because of their similar names and book theme, I see them more like a father/daughter type relationship and I think it's really cute! So I wanted to draw them in a library together as both of their themes revolve around books.
WIPS:
Thumbnail idea
Quick lineart/flats because I'll paint over it later
Rough colors/shades for the focal point of the painting
Shading on Ilm
Create rough background, clean up colors
