Weekly Colored Pinup (Patreon)

I have no idea why this took so long. It could be partly because I decided in my ignorance to try and use this as a chance to study how colored light (aka fire light) effects colors. See that tunic? Looks green, right? It's actually in the orange color range. It took me several tries... Painting, and repainting, again and again. Finally, I found a photo of Norse men sitting around a fire in a long house (viking style houses), and I was able to get the colors right.

I'll admit I ramped the saturation up a bit, to make it look a bit more warm. Hope it isn't too warm looking!

I learned a lot from this, and it's something I intend to use a lot in future works. In the inevitable future, I will be working on comics, which will be based in medieval time periods, and thus, firelight is an important thing to be able to render.

Ok, well, I think I will start a bit early on this friday's piece, to refrain from being late again.

Thanks everyone, for your patient and support! I wouldn't have time for studies like this, if it wasn't for all your help!
