meat: The castle sketches are from various places form all over the world (photos), though sometimes I'm like "wait, didn't I visit you at some time at the past?", which is quite funny. Though I'm probably confusing them, since the photos repeat themselves all the time as well.
Spot on with the paint not sticking anymore at some point, got me :) Don't remember if I did an underpainting at least, but probably not many layers. The point of the background was using a color that makes the skin tones look good; although it really is too intense. All those darks in the skin weren't strictly intended either. Still figuring this out! :D Figures and fruit still feel easier than landscapes, though ...
The caped character is Mrs. Older Sister on her journey to find the magic artifact she needs to save her 'lil sister. Or something along these lines. I didn't have/take the time to develop a good character concept in the beginning, so she kind of just happened... Looking at spider palace now I see the lack of blue as well. Need to find a good balance!
Thank you very much for the jellyfish crit <3 I see what you mean. Still need to be more considerate with my values! Thanks again :)
Embarassingly small update.
