I keep tweaking some things bit by bit to see what i like the most
@nevs38 thanks!
well, those dark things u've seen around feathers were just rough sketchup for myself to define where each of them starts and ends.
To my taste I wouldn't add so much vibrance to this picture.
I obviously haven't done anything much about light situation and reflected light (shadows and occlusion as well) yet as i usually build everything up slowly as i go.
and yes, once i will be finished with the illustration i merge all the layers and only then i tweak colour, hue, vibrancy. (Simply by going to image>adjustments>levels/or vibrance/or huesat/ etc/) As i find it works better for me most of the time rather than layers with different properties
@anilduyalbaydir thanks! yes, i was going to work on feet and hands and everything. (just gimme some time haha :D)
Changed her leg position and foot structure, coz i've noticed that i've painted human feet with 6 fingers instead of the monkey feet, oops!
Did a bit of resizing to her head as well.
Hopefully today later on I can spend enough time on it to finish the largest part of painting.
I wanna finish it before the time runs out because i've come so far! Might as well push yourself harder!
i was never into competitions in my life.. and honestly, while doing this I went through a LOT of stuff and I've learnt a lot about myself and about the workflow too so it is a great personal achievement
Very nice! The only thing I'd maybe think about is adding something in the far background where the sky is. Right now, it's basically a relatively large flat blue color and I find it's a bit distracting against everything else. Like I see you had a temple in one of your earlier version or maybe some far away mountains could work. Or maybe even just some clouds would help.
Beyond that though I really like where this is going. Keep it up!
