No problem! It's wonderful~

Thanks for this! I have yet to try out the black and white to color style of painting, so this should help ^^

How long did this piece take to finish?

Asashi-Kami In reply to StarshipSorceress [2012-11-04 18:30:13 +0000 UTC]

about 16 - 20 hours? There was a lot of editing that took place before getting to the final product.

Ah I bet. I have the issue of taking forever on my art :/ so hopefully I can get faster as I progress.

Nice job ^^

oh definitely, it's just a matter of overcoming those obstacles you haven't faced before. once you learn how to handle them, when they arise in future works, you'll knock them out much quicker. So keep it up!

Thanks again.

I'm gonna use this as help in my drawing. By the time you've gotten to Step 4 is about the extent of my art abilities at the moment. I would love to be able to draw that well. It's beautiful.

I've only barely dabbled in digital art and I know how much of a process it is; but this gives on a completely new appreciation for how inhumanly penultimate this piece is. There just aren't enough synonyms for "amazing" and "epic."

Lovely, in-depth walkthrough! I love seeing how Skulltula and the whole masterpiece was created. I've never thought of starting like that; laying down values AND THEN adding color! That's kind of mindblowing XD I would like to try that sometime, and this was very inspiring so....many, MANY thanks!!!

Asashi-Kami In reply to kijeyin [2012-07-24 02:12:19 +0000 UTC]

Hey, no problem!

It can be a bit confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it makes things a lot easier.

I'm not sure I mentioned it in there but when you're overlaying the colors, try to stay as true to the values underneath it as possible.

I'm glad it can help and inspire!
