Peia Page Preview (Patreon)

This page is a bit of an experiment, finally taking a moment to utilize a more "painterly" approach to finishing pages. It's pretty fast and the results have a great look to them, but we will definitely lose those really nice sharp lines and colors the pages have been enjoying lately. If possible, it'd be cool to find a better happy medium that doesn't sacrifice sharpness for glow and speed.

you can sorta get a sense for the stages that the art goes through here. Instead of doing pencil layers and layers you never see anymore, every layer is utilized and is probably going to be visible in the final art. The top left is more or less "done" and still has a bit of the roughness that I can't really fix if the goal is to save time. The bottom right is the roughest panel, you can just barely get a sense of where all the limbs are, all the important details are lain out. 

You can see how we go from the sketchiest layer, to just having more clean paintings done on top of that. Then there's a slight grey layer multiplied over everything. Having grey instead of areas of white, makes the next "Overlay" layer a lot easier to work with.
