Mystic Rauru

What would the skeksis counterpart to Rauru be like??

Progress pics below!

I don't know if people still know what the dark crystal is, but I really wanted to redraw rauru from totk as a mystic. I feel like he fits the vibes so well.

Sketch:

I've been drawing a lot of full body pieces recently so this ones just of the head. This sketch is a bit more lose as I try to draw like they did. The main extra details is the swirly patterns in the skin and including fly aways in the hair.

Line art:

The line art needs to just be a cleaned sketch, so instead of precisely lining evey shape, I can just imply the shapes with each stroke. The hair is the main thing that isn't a solid shape apart from where I've thicked up the edges for readability.

Flats:

For the flats I've kept in this more yellow area. Anything blue is just grey and I'm relying on colour theory to make it appear blue.

Finished render:

So going into the finished render I originally wanted to replicate the watercolor and coloured pencil style the dark crystal's art style has... Unfortunately procreate's default watercolour bush is kind of awful. A lot of this was shaded using the airbrush and soft round brush. I was experimenting a lot for this piece, a lot of it was different to what I'd usually do.

So the colours are too gloomy for my liking. I was trying out a colours theory thing, and it worked, but for this specific piece it's way too gloomy. I've also noticed a weird thing with the eyes where if you look at the piece on a small screen they look too dark. You have to look at this piece at the size I drew it to properly see the eyes.

Basically.

I wanna redo this one at some point.

But that's how experiments go sometimes, I did learn things from it so it's not a total bust, I just wanted this piece to look very different to what I got here.

So be sure to follow so you don't miss when I attempt to shade this again.

Also have a look at my inprnt page if you want a print and my commissions are open if you'd like one.

Oki bye

Mystic and Skeksis - The Dark Crystal It's been a while again! These days, weeks even, are crazy. I don't want to spend too many words on what is going on in the world. I did that the last time already. What I want to say is how much I did not expect the quarantine days to affect my creative flow so badly. I was very motivated to finish this sketchbook before April 6th (which was the first 'final' date mentioned by our government, but things changed). Only 2 pages a day. That seemed pretty doable. Not. So... Instead of getting angry with myself for not painting as much as I planned to, I told myself it's good to step away for a bit Rushing often isn't good for you and since I have quite a lot of spare time... Why should I rush and force myself? Some time ago I watched the original The Dark Crystal movie and then moved on to the series on Netflix. I'm still not entirely sure what I think about it. I definitely enjoy it, but I am not too enthusiastic about it either. Well, I wasn't. The more I watch and read about it, the more I start loving it. So naturally I did some quick sketches in watercolour. I'm looking forward to watching more of this series! What are you doing during these weird isolated days? . . . #thedarkcrystal #thedarkcrystalageofresistance #mystics #skeksis #skeksil #chamberlain #thedarkcrystalart #fanart #watercolors #watercolourpainting #watercoloursketch #winsorandnewtonwatercolors #winsorandnewton #cotmancolours #sketchbookart #sketchoftheday #sketchbookpainting #paintingoftheday #instaartist #instaart #artistofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ZZIZxHpTL/?igshid=163j3wnijvq1a
