"I keep searching the name of the wind"

Alba, 27. Freelance Concept artist and Illustrator. Here I will post my art, sketches and other stuff (like animations or stupid drawings just for fun). I love videogames with a passion so you have been warned. You are always welcome here. Lots of feelings for too many characters and anti heroes. I am open to commissions. ________ ARTSTATION: https://www.artstation.com/albapalacio TWITTER: https://twitter.com/albapalacio27

I used to write a lot since I was a teen and while I haven´t finished anything I started, I thought this cover would fit in one of those books and I missed working with lines.

Open for commissions and freelance work

I love sylvari designs and the anatomy of this race. And there is something in them that reminds me of royalty, or something really elegant.

Your art is so siiiiick! Have you ever streamed or planned to stream? I would love to see your process for your digital paintings especially your knights! I always have trouble working on armor with the shine, but you do it very well and the way you add the color shines is so cool and i've never seen it done before! Do you have a gumroad or patreon?? I saw your old post on your process, but was wondering if it's been updated. Thanks for sharing! :D

Hello there anon!

Thank you so much!! I am happy to hear you like the light and the shines of what is my favourite type of style.

Yeah, this summer I was preparing myself for streaming and upgrading my internet just for this, turns out, my mac is really old and when I tried recording myself painting and stuff it was too much. So, for now I can´t.

I have in plans making a gumroad soon (step by step and explaining some process of my chaotic colouring and offering all the brushes I have from all this years for example) and I have asked a bit my artist friends on how to do it right, and if there is enough people interested and my schedule permits it I would love to open patreon for art tips and share process.

So I can´t say yet when because life but it is something I have started.

Again, thanks for loving armors and colors x3.

If I can give some advice, there is a lot of trial and error on this pieces, I keep a lot of layers and I play with opacity and layer effects when I have the light and the color more or less situated so later my focus is on bringing the important volumes and lights in the places I want before going to the last step that is detail.

For me it´s really helpful starting with few colors (but important ones and sometimes strong ones so I can see if it´s the right feel I seek) when I have the form and figures. I start a lot of the cases with paint stains and not lines. Other times I have the silhouette or the figure and the colors come later in overlay and then I work from that. For the hard lights in the paintings I have different brushes that I like to experiment with if I seek a texture or detail.

Hi! Just wanted to say I'm so in love with your designs and concepts for armor/knights and just in general all of your art!!! Love seeing your work and it inspires me to explore more in character designs especially in fantasy type of things!! :3

Hi! Thanks so much for your words!!

It means a lot and this makes my day! I love to have a chance to draw armors and characters because I can practice stuff while having fun /and suffering later when I go to detail because I´m like that/  and if people enjoy it the better! Want to see someday what you create!
