Description

So! You know how :iconkaioshinluvr: has been doing art trades? Well, she's also doing one with a fellow called :iconk-h116:. She told me about some of her options and this fellow called Hayson ([link]) came up.
Steampunky 1800's hunter person? Yes please! So I got in on this art trade thing too.

I hope you like him, k-h116!

@.@ This got way more complicated as time went on. I had a lot of big ideas, and then not so big ideas that were somehow more complicated than the big ideas and on and on and on. At one point I almost made this a 'screenshot' type picture with subtitles and everything. Eventually, this came out. I think it's pretty ok?
I was going to do some red highlights on his back but they didn't look that good. See earlier note about things being scrapped.
Also - used that Multiply trick Kaio was talking about. Hilariously, I used to do that but started shading on every layer for a more custom look. This way IS faster, and allows for faster edits to the whole thing, but I still had to do more work on the bandages to make the shading match. Sometimes a layer of gray just does not work. Also, sadly, it does not work for highlights. (^^; I tried that too.)
Also also: cheap background from google. WITH GRADIENTS! (I can't stop using them someone help me)

Would anyone else like to do a trade or something?

This fellow belongs to k-h116.

You can totally do highlights on 1 layer. Use a screen layer, and all you have to do is paint in highlights using the base color. Or if you're feeling lazy, use 1 color on a screen or linear dodge layer.

Also: the bandages make me wonder what he's been up to...

*stares at to-do list* ..... *stares at everyone else's comments* .... Aw what the hell, I'll jump on the bandwagon. Wanna do a quick sketchy trade?
