blueblack v6

Many months ago I pulled a reference shot from ~Blue-Stock and then let it sit on my HDD for months. Then I did some pencil work and sat on that for a few months. Then I got to this stage, which might be WIP or somewhere near release candidate quality. I don't know yet, as I did this under extreme sleep dep and pretty much purely by will. Oddly enough it took so long that =BlueBlack closed the ~Blue-Stock account.

This is the second of 3 iterations. After I submited the first I had meant to develop it further and did so almost immediately, but it simply took a long pause and a return to get the next steps really cemented.

pencils, gouache, acrylic ink, watercolor on bristol + digital
