The Covenant

Happy Caturday! :D

Hope you've all been well ^_

I made this painting for the NFT Boxes, theme was Schemes, curated by XCOPY

This artwork is about initiation to the Covenant.

"Discover your purpose and quench the overwhelming void by joining The Covenant."

It has been a while since last blog post, I've been having a sort of writing block, writing in general has been really difficult, even for the painting descriptions. This post is more pictures than text, but I'll try to get into writing more along the way. Got a lot more new paintings I'd love to share here ^_ I took last week off to relax and it has been motivating, I finally found energy to back into blogging.

Digitally I first block in the colors and then render details over time. I love how some artist use lineart for beautiful work, but the hard part about that method is blending lineart into the piece.

I wanted to achieve the extra dramatic effect with rim lighting from monitors in a dark room. Everything is really rough, and I barely use undo, instead I paint over, achieving a more textured effect. I mainly use eraser to achieve clean edges.

Detailing always takes longest, but it can be really relaxing with music. I tried several detail versions for the big window in the background but scrapped them as they were too distracting.

Close up of the covenant members.

Also you can decypher symbols, I created them for a previous project.

Thank you for checking out!
