I’m a digital artist with a great love for tablet technology that allows me to make stuff like this!
made this in Clip Studio Paint, using my huion kamvas pro 20 tablet that I’ve been using for a few years now.
This particular piece was illustrated for a tabletop card game that I was commissioned to work on.
in total this took me over a month to paint because I was doing a lot of figuring-out of shapes and lighting.
I actually admire artists who can make whole paintings on a single layer - i think over the course of making this, I used at least 10 separate layers, but when I was satisfied with certain parts, I kept merging layers down, till I ended up with about three layers.
