I wanted to title it "You Shall Not Pass," but the damn title character limit didn't let me.
Julia/Seedkeeper/Kirin had commissioned me to do this a little while ago. Since I don't have any more summer classes to deal with, I was able to finish this rather quickly, regardless of the amount of time I put into it overall.
Anyway...I had so much fun doing this commission. Granted, A WHOLE LOT of the details were driving me to pull hair out of my head (well, not really....but god....I would look back and forth from my lineart to the reference I had and just face-fault almost everytime LOL). I wanted to do more with the magic...but then I felt that I might have gone overboard (if I haven't already). So I used a few lighting brushes and swirl brushes to get the general splashy magic effect. I also learned something with this commission. "Screen" is good for general shading highlight...but on metal and for sharp highlights, use "Linear Dodge." You may not agree with me...but this mini-discovery was a nice one for me.
Sketched on paper. Outlined and colored in Photoshop CS.
Time to outline: 8 hours
Time to color: ~12 hours
Total time: ~20+ hours

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example.
