Hello, Folks. I've been feeling stuck lately and have been getting a case of that ol' imposter syndrome while painting "Descent II". And as always, I did a painting outside of my main preoccupation, which helps get out of the head and even problem solve. ![Asiatic II (3375x4500 80%).png.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deadsparrow/23xKmjs6oMB9RkkAD2HMFfXh2TFKenzWocUnVpF1YwyftoKshhZQTh6vm2N9TvwZs8CWG.jpg) I did a re-paint of an old drawing. I'm really surprised with how far I've come from doing amateurish and higher stylized art to what I spend my time doing these days. This was done in greyscale and then i used a color look-up adjustment lay and realized the rim-lighting using a combo of a gradient map adjustment lay clipped to a screen blend mode. I'm sorry I can't show a timelapse capture. That's on the agenda for as soon as I can upgrade my computer station.

At the time I painted this, I was very proud of it and still am. But looking at it now. There was so much that was wrong with it eg. the proportions on the face, especially the eyes. But I think I was so distracted by lighting (I'm still in love with lighting than the subject) that I didn't see it. I do love the colour choices I made. --------------------- Anyway, If you'd like to see or purchase my work and support me, you can visit my socials and NFT shop linked below.
