What started as a simple fun sketch in the beginning ends up into a complete illustrations
. I simply wanted to try out different way to do a painting, I used to paint in black and white straight into the canvas, using shapes and values and figuring out the details on the go. Overtime, I find that my method has its own flaws. Firstly, the colors are really hard to pin down, unless I have an exact image in my mind or a very good color reference, otherwise I will have to start form laying muddy looking colors layer by layer and do some trial and error too. Secondly, figuring out details on the go and painting it straight with shapes and volumes is hard, some times its just easier to draw the outlines first, just like when we are using only pencils.
So this time, I actually start by drawing the lines first rather than blocking shapes, laying colors underneath the lines to test the colors without worrying about painting over the details. And paint straight using colors rather than with black and white. I could say I was pleased with the results. Painting details was definitely much easier if I drew the outlines first. I am not sure about the colors, with black and white I could concentrate on getting nice smooth values, it was a little harder with colors, but it definitely results in richer colors. (There are 4 demons on the background, the other 3 are miscellaneous but you might find violator familiar..
)
Overall I am pleased with the results, I'll just have to find a balance between this new approach and my old habits, or... I could just work harder

I really like how your pic breaks from tradition; (angels portayed in white) This one is dressed in
dark clothes but defintely good! I also love the details of his sword and armour.
Normally I prefer to see the main character's face, but the fact that you made him maked makes
me more curious about him.
GOD bless!
