Per my rambling tags about not being sure if I liked Luz’s cape like this:

The highest form of compliment I can receive on my art thank you

Thank you! (Before people get too impressed I was sketching with reference. But I pulled the perspective out of my butt so it’s probably not as accurate as it could be.) Luz is my edgy little PF character so I like the idea of them just being that slick XD It’s also funny because the character I based Luz on was a different oc that was colorblind. At one point in this oc’s journey she got a cloak of the mountebank but couldn’t tell that it was bright red so everyone else in the party was like “whoa you know that’s totally not your all-black vibe right?” So she spent a month leaving it at a store to be dyed black because she doesn’t know color theory. If it’s not black then it surely makes her look foolish! (Even tho I thought it was kinda cool lol).

I think it’s funny that Luz as her reincarnate finally got the red cape, this time entirely within their choice.

Thank you! I live for these kind of art analyses on my work :D I do like the red here. If I were to finish it I’d probably compliment it with some hints of blue atmosphere but we’ll see. And yea the paleness really ups the contrast. Thats a signature part of their character so I’m a little reluctant to change it, it’s why I keep going back and forth with the clothes instead XD Thank you for being a continual enjoyer of my art!

Best advice so far. 1.5 goth vampires wasn’t enough I must not stop until I have a hoard of them sitting in a closet and being all gloomy and sad.

#canary talks#I like mass responding to tags sometimes but I’m never sure if I should @ the people who wrote them#like what’s the proper tumblr ​etiquette here?#feel free to let me know anonymously or not if you think i should tag people when I do this#on one hand if you don’t care then being tagged is probably annoying especially if it brings unwanted traffic and comments to the person#on the other hand it almost feels like stealing content even tho these are comments left in my own public post that anyone could read

#art#digital art#illustration#wip#dnd#pathfinder#dungeons and dragons#fetchling#magus#luz#I’m still not sure I’m giving luz the red cape but it was a fun element to throw in this sketch#I’ve always loved the look of capes with bright inner linings so I’m looking for an excuse to design a character w one lol#I’m just not sure if red is the way to go with Luz#their entire outfit is black grey and silver so it would be a nice pop of color#but idk every time I try painting up a red the red just doesn’t look like it belongs#I like muting it to brown but who makes a two colored cape with just black and brown??#maybe I should make the inside silver#that could be cool#or to lighten their outfit the outside could be silver t and the inside could be black#but that’s def not practical for a character that uses the shadows to their advantage#imagine trying to sneak in the dark but your cape catches every speck of light like a beacon#ah well I’ll figure it out#if you’ve read all these tags feel free to leave tags with your own thoughts. or a comment too!

Wanted to share a series I’ve been working on, even if it’s a bit early in the season. I decided to illustrate the ghosts of Christmas! From top to bottom we have past, present, and future

Wip of a costume breakdown I’m making for my fetchling magus, Luz! This is the base clothes layer that goes beneath the padding and armor

#art#digital art#pathfinder#fetchling#magus#dnd#luz#this is the first time I got to draw luz’s face without them wearing their hood and mask#so that’s nice#I had fun designing their features#lately I have been leaning towards very bold faces#in the past I liked drawing sleak and thin faces more but I feel like you have more opportunity to add character with these faces#there’s more complexity in the cheek bones y’know?#anyway yea luz is yet another character suffering from the resting bitch face syndrome#with the hood and mask they strike and intimidating figure

Portrait 7/7 ~2.2hrs

Final portrait study is my favorite girl Karlach!

#art#digital art#Karlach#bg3 fanart#bg3#teifling#portrait study#I kept forgetting to post this but I did this last week with my other studies#wanted to end on something fun but I would not recommend trying to study someone made out of game graphics#the hair skin and eyes are all a bit off#def not good for textures and lighting is kinda flat#I mostly did this for design and practice fast and cheap rendering#and for the funzies of course#love Karlach
