I guess the process includes setting layer modes like "color" on top of a grayscale painting. As far as I can tell in this image simple colors are laid out for now. Later on the image will look more realistic if added more hue variation

yep yep , basically right now is all one layer of colour set on "soft colour" ( for Clip studio ) , I haven't even added any gradient map underneath yet so all of this are very much place holders

I just can get over this entry. It's really amazing!

Just striking! The only thing that you could probably improve is the readability at the area where her mech-arm touches the deers horns, that´s really hard to read if you ask me. Maybe put some shadowing on the deers horn there. Besides that, really beautiful and a great composition!

yep those areas are gonna be separated out more with colours , since the ones in here are still place holders, also probably will increase the shadows underneath the hand more

I love your entry, great work! The illustration is mesmerising :blush:

This is very nice I love it so much! :smile: Great job! :smile:
