The Bride's Tower
Added 2025-10-07 09:20:19 +0000 UTCHansry... Hans and Henry... Lord and his squire... A noble damsel in distress and his peasant knight in shining armor... Don't ask how the peasant could afford 10k+ worth of shining armor... shhh...
In case anyone is looking for real good medieval vibes, I recommend kingdom come deliverance games. You'll see more of these guys from me for sure π
I'm highkey obsessed with the new coloring technique I tried with this, usually I do all flat colors in bright color and opaque ink brush, but here I layed a blue baselayer and then crosshatched the color little by little on top of that with a transparent pencil brush. I've been little too scared to "muddy up" the colors before, but I feel it worked out great!
I also had to check myself for a bit there because everything feels so fast paced right now and I could feel myself slipping into anxiety over having to have everything done immediately, like I'm some factory conveyer belt. As in, I'd start sketching something and then panic when it wasn't going fast enough and I couldn't finish it right away the same day, at the push of a button. And that goes too close to the "art equals content"-line which I haaaateeeeeee.
So I had a lovely time taking a full week just lovingly wanking around this single piece, without worrying when I'm going to finish it. Good times. Highly recommend!
