Description The completed Premium Commission for (It was such a treat getting to work with you and your wonderful characters and concepts again!)

I loved every minute I worked on this piece; the hours just flew by! The client gave me lots of artistic freedom, so I was able to just let loose and depict the scene just how I interpreted it. Here, the Thinker, the Guardian, and the Destroyer set life to the new world in the client's own origins myth concept.

Illustration belongs to me.

awww thank you, Row!

AND DON'T FORGET PINK AND PURPLEEEE.
That's pretty much my answer to everything. Needs something? WHY NOT PURPLE?
flat lines? PURPLE TIME. Boring composition? UM. PURPLE.

OK, TRADE ME YOUR SKILL IN HUMANS THEN <3

Actually,what I find that helps is layering the BG on ALL ONE LAYER. I know that sounds crazy, and it leaves you a LOT more prone to irreversible error, but I feel the blending and interacting of colors is best when you just play with the colors on a SINGLE layer. : D

OOOOh I /love/ the elements used in this picture! The contrasting colours and everything! I love the swirls you put into the character's fur! Most of all, I adore your 'sketchy, nostalgic' style. That's what I'm aiming for in my own style and you're certainly inspiring me to improve! I cannot wait to get another commission for you! I'm sure the client is very satisfied with this piece!

Oh cool! I love Norse mythology!
I love how Fenrir's tail merges with the earth; and everything just flows together; even Hati and the sun whose colors contrast the rest of it!

Simply beautiful!
