Over two weeks late, but Storm, my wonderful friend, here it is! Here is your birthday present!!! I really hope you like it! Those flames nearly killed me to paint, but I didz it, I fucking didz it!Honestly, I’m really happy with how this turned out! The reasons why include:1. I did the lineart with my drawing pad!!! And it turned out to go much faster than with my curve tool! Admittedly, it’s not as smooth and pristine and perfect as with the curve tool, but I feel I get the eyes to come out a lot closer to how I want them to come out. Also, I find that my style with the drawing pad still has imperfections and a kind of sketchy feeling to it (though admittedly I took more care to make it smoother with this image because Storm deserves the extra effort on my part), but I actually like it! I feel it gives a unique effect when combined with the colouring and ends up looking really nice!2. THE! LIGHTING!!! OMG, it wasn’t easy, but I actually had a lot of fun doing the lighting for this piece thanks to DA Muro!3. Yes. This whole goddamn nice-looking piece was done solely with MS Paint and DA Muro, with a little extra help from Powerpoint. Not too shabby considering that, huh? Never underestimate what I can do with the cheapest, most basic-ass-bitch tools.The only thing I really really don’t like about this piece is that I failed to make a speedpaint video for it. But you know what? Given what I’m planning over on YouTube, it’s perhaps not that big a problem.Happy late birthday, Storm!!!SKETCH: A Demonic Christmas PresentREFERENCES:None to be had except the character design!
