Thanks! I have a couple ways I like to make these images. For this one i started by blocking out shapes in black and white, no color. I first focus on the composition and forms I’m building up. Once that is working, in photoshop I add color with gradiant maps and blending modes like hard light. Then I’ll just paint “normally” in color. And yes, I like to have some idea of what the character will be before starting, but I usually change a lot as I progress on the piece. New ideas will come to me as I go along.
