Yet another big piece, this time steel takes the spotlight! The randomizer has already selected ice types as the next type, how fitting just before December ❄

I know this isn't my usual stuff, but I'm trying to expand my 'horizons' so to speak. And generally just want to enjoy the things I do a lot more. Hope you like it!

Hi, I have a question if it doesn't bother you that much. I was wondering how you make the minimalistic type of stuff? It's absolutely amazing at how simplistic it is but still look as great as ever!
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comments, they really made my day!
I’m not usually very good at explaining things so I've attached a few images which I hope help!
I start off by gathering a LOT of references, I’m very novice and need all the help I can get! The next step is the ‘skeleton’ of what I want, lots of messy circles and lines, and then I draw around the ‘skeleton’ to get the correct shape. 
Tumblr media
Now in non-minimalist art, I believe this is where an artist would retrace their lines, but make them nice and neat for their lineart, I don't! I go straight in with a solid colour and edit the line art as I go, there’s a lot of colouring, rubbing out, lather, rinse, repeat at this stage till I like what I see.
I'll repeat this process till I’ve got all the extras on the image, things like hair, shoes, clothes, and those eyebrows I insist on being there so everyone avoids looking like Voldemort (they’re already missing their nose!)
Tumblr media
If the image has I lot of different colours, I’ll choose a colour that has been used minimally (no pun intended), and use that as the background to bring the piece together, if the image is less simple, I just pick a nice colour as I don't want anything to get left out.
There is probably some kind of photo manipulation program or even a better art program than what I use (Autodesk SketchBook - Mobile Version) but I’m happy with my little method - I feel it’s come a long way, and it works well for me.
I hope this has been helpful!

Taking a break from the courtiers to be heavily self indulgent.
Very inspired by @rieliv and their amazing julian cosplays, Julian is a beautiful pin up

A little gift for @juliandev-otion for being my biggest supporter, this was such a fun opportunity to play with a new character and new perspective!

I have a Ko-Fi and while I'm slowly building it up so you can find all my work everywhere, I'd really appreciate any and all support that could be given.
Additionally, commissions are opening soon!

Did you post the goose lucio on reddit? Just wondering since I found it on r/thearcana with no source
I did! I rarely use reddit, but I felt Goocio deserved to be shared. Thank you so much for letting me know though, its nice knowing theres such thoughtful people in the fandom.

I chose to make his foot of spikey metal! It has little spikey talons! For I believe there would be nothing worse than being in the dark of Goocio’s Wing and hearing a *plap* *CLANK* *plap* *CLANK* that steadily gets loudly as he comes barrelling towards you out of the shadows
