Taking a break from hammering on sequential art for something completely different.
Fabric shape and drapery isn’t among my current strong points—nor is digital painting frankly—so I figured I should really sit down and let my brain puzzle over it with a masters study. It feels like doing math. Hopefully less so, the more I keep doing it.
Picking the colors to match was a good exercise in color relativity. I liked how the original artist used pure black to outline and define the subject in the very darkest parts of the painting. It’s an interesting technique.
Studied (very inaccurately) from Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi (1620)
Be forewarned: mild horror images (such as would be associated with the Creepy Book, Thay's Necromancy: skulls, creepy teeth, that kind of thing), Cazador mention, mild spoilers for the Act 1 Thay's Necromancy Questline

I wondered what kind of images passed through his mind when opening that creepy-ass book with all the spirits trying to drive you mad and telling you to kill the only decent people in your life.
