Just over here, shooting my own reference, like a loon.

@elinore-eaton what a brilliant idea, and the thumb is great!

aaaand...we have a WIP! Just WIP, there's still lots to do.
I actually started in digital, but have been genuinely annoyed with myself in how tight everything I've been making has been looking, and this one started out as no exception (I don't even want to show the ugliness of that start), so I pulled out the ol watercolors in the hopes of having a little more fun. Yesterday, I even did like a wild landscape kind of painting while watching Lee's awesome "Loosening up in Watercolor" video. I have to admit, it really helped me have some fun with painting again. I had been in a funk a lot lately, just feeling like art is too hard lol. So, Thanks @Lee-White.

@asyas_illos Thank youuuuu!
-
@jeremy-ross Thank you!
-
@elinore-eaton awesome! love it!
I think you could even go way darker with your blue areas to make the warm tones in the tiger really pop out!
-
@lee-white fantastic advice! Thank you!
-
I think it may be done? I'm going to at least sit on it for a day. Suggestions and comments welcome!
-
@elinore-eaton there ya go! nice! : )
-
@elinore-eaton wow nice! Great advice from @Lee-White
-
@lee-white Thank you so much!
-
Wait wait wait! I think nowwww done.
Even though the godlike being was made of stars and huge and all that in the previous comp, they didn't feel cosmic and epic enough, and the whole image needed some tightening up, the tiger needed to pop and sparkle, and color correction things.
I had some fun mixing some vintage vibes with modern fantasy digital, and loose watercolor. I definitely said "F it, try it," with this one.
