Oliver Caron Al-Asim: knight, tough-as-nails monster hunter, and human ray of sunshine. I think if there’s one character who deserves pastels and flowers, it’s him. Done with Posca markers and a growing, appalled awareness that I was basically drawing a Hawaiian shirt.
Usually I’m a little wary of colour, or low-rendering in any form. I edge away from lineart, and my default is usually:


“Posterised brights! Sure, this’ll be easy, what’s to fear?” Everything.



Pause here for “the moment I got it into daylight and on a scanner and realised the colours were basically flourescent, there was no contrast and I’d mucked up my values.”
[cough] We are experiencing some technical difficulties, talk amongst yourselves…


…Whew.
