Kam and the Dark Dwarven smiths (Patreon)

I've been working on three differing images this last week. This is one of them. A Pokebitch pic is the second. A picture of Cadence and Bel is another. All of them had experimental backgrounds (though I'm probably going to abandon the Cadence and Bel one). I don't know how to make scenery. I don't understand how people do it so comfortably and quickly. This pick and the Pokebitch pic are going to look very different. I think the Pokebitch one will be worse, but we'll see what you all think. This picture uses my normal style of drawing something, shading values, then adding colors with gradients. The Pokebitch one is more of a 'painting.'
