Description

suddenly I'm in a homestuck mood, I was already sketching Redglare when I was rendering Condesce.

more painting/lighting/semirealism practice here.
I really had a tough time rendering hands! but I'm happy with the results.

I love the mood you set with the lighting which definitely pulls her out and how you used the shadows and light source to your advantage; It makes the piece holistic. The hands are stunning and show gesture really well, but maybe more weight and detail could have been added to her staff so it doesn't fall too far back into the image, but more into her palm (Like foreground, midground, background kind of deal if you were aiming to push the staff outwards more). It's a very strong pose and the painterly effect you've given to it by showing the brush strokes definitely adds drama if you think the lighting didn't. Your piece has great composition, and is well balanced without being too symmetrical with help from the contrast in your lights and your darks. The simplicity yet boldness of the background doesn't pull away from your main subject either. Overall, it's really stunning and eye-catching. Great work!
