Tenpe and Rin

Made a pic of G’Tenpe Tia and Rin’a Fortemps, which are my friend and his waifu (on Ragnarok).

I downloaded a Foliage brush set (by Chromatic Skies) from deviant art, and used an in-app Cherry Petals brush. Then I made Sakura blossoms brush especially for this pic. I also used a lot of downloaded brushes, like a Cloud brush, from official Clip Studio Paint website.

A zoomed-in and cropped pic without Tenpe’s glasses, just to show off the wrinkles detail. :P

It’s been a helluva week for me working on this piece of art. It was incredibly entertaining and challenging. One minute I’m enjoying brushing the colors like mad, the next minute I’m cursing Tenpe’s wrinkles and his shoulder pieces LOL. I took the liberty in making up the details of left shoulder piece on my own because in-game screenshots and Tenpe’s stance angle in this pic didn’t quite help. And the sword was a tough nut. They came out better than I had imagined, though.

Thank you two for being the inspiration and motivation. I’ve had some break-through in coloring techniques while working on this picture. Most of all, I had a load of fun doing it.

After dinner, I realized that even with the saturation adjustment, my sakura blossoms still look very much like blotches of neon colors. So I made a new brush and redid the sakura trees to correct that.

Here’s the newest revision, and hopefully the last!
