Skin colors are working now!

Leana is finally working out! This is the smoothest I've ever done a skin color...super thanks to Myriena on deviantart for the palette used! Now, Valeon's should come together just as quickly and I'll bustle around to get their clothing properly painted.

And can you believe it? Her nose has finally attached to her face! It doesn't look like she's wearing one of those nose-disguises anymore!

Finally, clouds!

I've posted the image in the art page, you should be able to see it in the first of the list.

But these clouds mark a point in this picture: the time that the background folder can be locked. Can finally stop messing around with the background because it's finished.
...and curse the hour that something needs tinkered with in that folder. Seriously. These poor characters have been sitting and waiting for light/dark colors for ages.

Hopefully the next couple of posts will show a more complete thing. It's down to the final run!

Valeon finally has hair!

Clothes Design: CherrysDesigns
Pose Reference: Syccas-Stock
Watertop: Solira-Stock

Finally decided that his hair looks messy any time I paint it, so that's what we have here. But this marks the end of the flats! Next move is to get the textures and light/shadow on them and, from what I can tell at this point, painting the shadows/highlights will let me get rid of those darn lines.

The first 'lineless' that I've done in quite awhile...and it's only taken a "few" years to remember how to do it! 

Super thanks to everyone who's helped me get to this point on this piece, you know who you are!
