Skull & Nightmare - Simba - 10-30-2016
First off; sorry for the horrible quality of the photos, I'll do a better job on that next time!
Those are my earliest sketches right after the researching phase. I was kind of sad that I didn't keep the cute'n'creepy bearded dude, but somehow he didn't quite feel right for the contest, also I couldn't tell wether he should be a creature or a humanoid, so I went for a clearer design.
The color thumbnail is the only step in the painting I kept; somehow I'm bad at keeping the stages, the urge to merge the layers is too big!! Also, next time
A few hours into the painting, I didn't like the color scheme anymore, especially because I've used exactly that one in my previous finished painting and I wanted to push myself to go out of my comfort zone (and I wanted to go for a more subtle color scheme).
If you've read thus far, thanks for reading!
