"Ok..."

"Wait- w h a t?"

I'm studying right now- and how in the hell can concepts go from something so easy to something EXTREMELY SPECIALIZED AND COMPLICATED??? AUGHHGG

I also am trying to establish a connection between my hyperfixation and the major i'm studying for so I can doodle em' together with a reasonable excuse BAHAHAHSHD

The Archangel and His Machine, V1

yes its based on 'Ivan the Terrible and His Son'

some in-progress screenshots/behind-the-scenes under the cut~

Sketching, lineart (which was abandoned eventually, as you can see lmfao) and basic color/lighting blocking:

I created mockup poses using DAZ3D, as well as using Dotflare's 'HD Gabriel' model and Xetirano's 'V1 model' as visual references for drawing some of the details correctly.

I modelled the background by hand in Blender and aligned it with my previously-created DAZ3D poses to get the perspective correct and kinda just...slapped some colors and perspective blur on it and called it a day.

This is about 12 days' worth of work, ish. I can't remember if I worked on it every day or not.
