Personal dark fantasy piece built on a 2.5D layout blocked out in grease draw vibe,to lock the shot and read the space before painting.
Developed with a loose, concept-art-driven workflow in * heavyPaint CC, the goal was to catch the idea fast, before the initial spark faded. Painterly brushwork carries the read while deliberate lighting and depth pull the viewer into the scene — energetic and expressive rather than over-rendered.
