Work in progress. Based on “Porcelain” from @PatrickStump’s EP, Truant Wave. Some ridiculous number of hours and counting. This is slowly reminding me why I rarely digitally paint lineless anymore: I have a tendency to overwork things and shove at tiny details I would normally just use a few lines to imply until I hate and nitpick every single pixel. It’s tedious and it goes against, well, everything I try not to be. This could turn into a huge rant about simplicity in illustration and properly balancing it with detail  and how I’m terrible at it but I’m too tired, I’ve been sitting in this chair too damned long, and I’m going to be doing the same thing tomorrow when I hopefully be able to look at it with some fresh eyes because I really don’t have that long to finish and I’m not really sure how to work the piece for Black Cards yet. Dearest internet, I am going to curl up in bed now. Good night.
