2025 in Review
So above is original stuff - referenced, but not as heavily as the sprite redraws below.
These are sprite/card art redraws from F/GO and thus very heavily referenced. Grim uses Goredolf as a base, while Castoria and Aesc were used for the others. I'm more proud of the designs/clothing and especially the shading with these. It's been a while since I fully rendered anything, and my skill with it really upgraded. I blame XIV and the gpose engine for teaching me how to think about lights, shadows, and how to unify a piece using them.
I debated posting these because they are very, very heavily referenced, but I think there's enough unique to them to be worth posting - especially as a reminder that there's no shame in using something to learn from as long as you give credit where credit is due. You'd think I'd have learned that from my Homestuck days, but that's what you'd get for thinking.
