Artist's commentary
If you’re interested in buying this as a poster, I’ll be at FanimeCon and AX this year. If you can’t catch me there, I’ll have it up on my online store sometime after.
I can’t believe this took almost a month to finish, but here I am. Fell into my usual trappings of attempting to render out almost every single detail; the overindulgent amount of layers I started piling up nearly crashed openCanvas. Everything looked nice on the micro scale, but so much was getting lost when I looked at the full composition.
Despite using a lot more techniques and tricks than ever before, I can hardly consider this a good piece, and a lot of stupid mistakes blindsided me. I’ll try to be more cautious for the next full illustration I do.
