The Hades Gang [WIP] pt. 2. (Patreon)

So here's some progress I made on the vote winner today. I know this doesn't seem like much, but believe me, it's actually a lot :)

When this picture won the vote, I was thinking if I should just make it in my own style, like all of my works, or if I should try to imitate the game's art style. At the end, I decided to try my luck with the game's style, because it looks so unique. But this will be a HUGE picture, and I was kinda afraid that if I mess up the style, I'll realize it too late, and it's over for the whole picture... So I decided to swap up the usual progress quite a bit.

I usually complete the lineart, then the flats, then the shading, then the rest. But now I decided to completely finish Mira's portrait, and see how it would look. And I'm really happy I did that :) While it took some time, I found a ballpen style brush that looks very similar to the game's style, but after that it went surprisingly well! I looked and studied some portraits and concepts from the game, and I saw that they use three types of shadows, and that was very interesting! I had no problems with the colors at all, they kinda used very bright and saturated colors just like me.

But after all of this, I have to say I'm very happy with the outcome, and now I can continue and complete the whole picture with a lot of confidence! :D I was really excited about this winner, but now that I tried myself and know that I can kinda imitate the game's style, I'm quite pumped! :D

So please look forward for the next progress next week! ;)
