Whenever there is leftover paint from a previous work on my palette, I try to do small Palette Clean-Up Paintings:)
It's a fun challenge to try and use up the colors left and I waste less paint that way - give it a try!
HOY BOY I FINISHED IT!!!
This one took ages but it feels so worth it!
Velvette dressed up her boys ofc ofc, they had to represent their girl!
Really though, I had too much fun with this one. I've been putting off background and fabric rendering practice forever, and this seemed like the perfect excuse for both! Fun fact, I actually almost went to university for fashion/costume design, so it was extra fun to try and come up with outfits that felt true-to-character for each of them, while making it feel like something Vel would make, and keeping the mid/late 2010's in mind.
I experimented a lot with this piece, and tried to make things look 'realisitcally textured' (Vox's screen being smooth, the sweatervest fuzzy, and Val's fluff furry, etc.). Just playing around a lot and seeing how I like to render things out! The style of this one ended up somewhere halfway between my kind of 'default' style and Hazbin's, and I really, really like the combination tbh.
Now a timelapse for you all! The is the one min version, but I'm thinking of posting my longer speedpaints on my YT, so if I do, i'll link it here later :3
Overall, besides Valentino's anatomy perspective confusing the fuck out of me, this was a super fun challenge for me and I'm really proud of how it came out!
