It is so fun to imagine how Raziel would dress if he were thrown into our world where it would be essential for him to disguise himself. So many good laughs!! Art by the talented Sh0ckwaveprime.
repaint (2025, gouache) of an olddd art card (probably ~2014??)-- progress pic + original card under the cut!
I honestly don't recall if I ever posted the original ACEO (if I did it was probably only on @legacyofdefiance); it was an experiment in doing 'limited palette' art (like those palette memes) traditionally by using only a very small selection of copics, buuuuut I don't think the technique was all that successful & I never really liked most of the final products xD;;;; (the thicker nibs + lineless look just made the style feel like a downgrade when viewed alongside the inked or painted cards that had much more detail/interest in the same amount of real estate... and for some reason I never seemed to fully utilise the availabe space either? whatever reasons Past Me had for that are lost to time.... maybe i just didn't have the skill yet to dive straight into inking without a pencil sketch??? who knowssss)
...anyway, this Ariel in particular always felt especially bland to me, a plain headshot with nothing interesting going on & just a lot of random strokes that don't really have any direction to them & were just kind of There to fill up the space in place of any real detail.... so when I decided to do a paintover I brought her hands into frame as well!
