Commission for Seedkeeper/Kirin from bRO Loki.

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.
