New Artist reference part two!

Notes transcript under the cut

Notes transcript:

The Artist (inverted form)

Upper Left:

much more active in this form

fur is long & wispy/fiery

colors shift & blend together

tail is always uncurled

glows brightly! #ffdf7e to #95f0ea

Upper Right:

no eyes in this form

can draw on air, unlike normal Artist

ink is almost firelike

Bottom Row:

Transition:

1. bright streaks appear (can also happen when Artist is angry)

2. outer layer starts to burn away

3. paws, tailtip darken as more & more starstuff is exposed

Turning back: black layer covers up starstuff. glow dims, fire weakens

being inverted is exhausting!
