Bedtime (PSD) (Patreon)

An (old) illustration with it's PSD file. ...I have to admit I'm not sure if I didn't want to publish this one here or if I simply forgot :/

I drew this one in 2015 (at least that's what the file data claims). It was one of my first digital coloring attempts and back then I tried to do more painting and blending rather than cell shading. Overall l did have my troubles with developing some sort of a coloring style because I simply couldn't 'see' the finished picture in my head...unlike when I colored something with copic maker or watercolors :/

Aside of that I wasn't too familiar with Manga Stdio/Clip Studio paint and neither knew how to work fast and clean (as if I do clean colorations nowadays, lol) nor did I really understand the tools...well, I still don't fully understand them. But I'm getting used to it....slowly XD

What else...? Sedine's hair was still black/dark blue and...once I opened the photoshop file and tried to somewhat organize all those (unlabeled) layers, I couldn't help myself but started playing around with some settings. This is how that illustration looked originally:

Little pinker and shinier...

Anyway, deep inside I cringe over that old thing...but I'm also kinda happy looking back at it. I mean, back then these two characters were really nothing but stray ideas I wanted to keep (mostly) to myself. The way things worked out so far is really nice imo :)

Feel free to download either version of this Illustration and it's PSD file (it's pretty big tho <,<). Not sure if it's helpful, but maybe somewhat interesting :)

EDIT: I just stumbled over this. Super rough is super rough XD (I think I did a somewhat clean sketch, printed it out and put everything into perspective...I'm amazed I was able to look through that whole mess @___@)
