i'd forgotten i already posted this sketch here. oh i really want to keep working on it... it's kinda cool innit...
though same as the other wip (which i recently found out i need to rework, not substantially, but also not UNsubstantially. i simply misrembered some events), i don't know how much time or motivation i'll have in the near future. i'm currently in the long and pretty annoying process of moving. we're painting the walls tomorrow & i really should sleep soon instead of writing this...! Anywho.
I could basically start just working on a better sketch (that I can then line over) IF it wasn't for the fact that I remembered that Integrity is gold. I always forget about it. I mean I'm fairly sure I won't now, given recent PALISADE events, but I sure didn't think about it in November or whenever I had this idea! And it's like, not important, kind of a really fun part of doing art for a non-visual medium is you can fuck around with it a bit, and whatever the fuck it's a Divine it could just look different sometimes. BUT. It did bother me enough that I (shoddily) colored over the sketch, just to see:
The issue is I like the blue/silver better on the suit/armor (I think the white lines stand out better!), and the golden version better with the eye... I also thought about coloring the lines for Integrity gold, but I don't really like how it looks in the blood?
(The color of Brnine's skin is also duller in the second one and I actually have no idea why I did that...?! I think it looks better the other way.)
There's also this as an idea which I did really messily, and I'm not sure about. I like it but also I don't. Is the contrast to Brnine just being lines (I don't really plan on changing this in the final version tbh. Unless it I draw it & it looks bad) and then also the contrast to the blood (which I want to paint. -ish) interesting or does it just clash?
If you've read this far, do you have any particular feelings on the different versions? I'm kind of leaning towards the last one, even though it gives me the most problems. Still. I'd like to at least pick so I can get on with working on this when I DO have the time.
