[ Eremites x Aether ] Infiltrator HD (+ process + PSD) (Patreon)

I've repainted this illustration three times because I couldn't fix lights, colors and the overall atmosphere which was driving me insane 'cause I loved my initial idea. After the first two attempts, I decided to scrap the whole thing and restart from the lineart 😤

My mistakes were:
- Putting the strongest lights on the arm instead on on Aether's face, which I wanted to be the main focus;
- Not only the lights, but the extra details on the arm really drove the attention there instead on Aether's pretty cock-sucking face.
- Bad balance of saturation between bright and shadowy areas: light brings saturation, while colors in the shadows are more desaturated.
- Bad choice of background. It was too bright compared to the focus!

Knowing all this, restarting from scratch hasn't been that bad! I believe it took me 4-5h hours to repaint it!
