I was going through some old art and came across this and felt like it had really good bones. So I gave it another go and I really like how it turned out! 2 years and some patience paid off. (I'll put where I started under the cut for those curious.)

I love your artwork so much! Your colors are so vibrant and none of the white speckles in the paper ever shows, its so impressive and I really dig it! I was wondering if you use any sort of blending medium? Like baby oil or anything? Either way, I really enjoy looking at your artwork and I'm always excited to see whatever you'll make next

I use a colorless blender (prismacolor, which is wax-based so baby oil probably wouldnt work) but my scanner is also rly bad about picking up white specks in a way photographing the art with my phone isnt, so I usually have to do some digital editing to get rid of them as well.

I do this by duplicating the layer, setting the one on top to "darken," and using the mixer brush to blend out the white spots + just use the eyedropper tool to select the color of that area (needs to be a slightly lighter shade of it) and color over the white spots with the brush tool

i edited a small bit of the original scan to show what i mean

original:

with the edited layer:

heres how it looks set to normal instead of darken, I used both the mixing brush and regular brush just to demo it

your blood, what matter is it made of?

alt version + details and symbolism explanations under the cut

these were for uni homework, and this version is the one i ended up going with! the first one is digital, and the second one is traditional - i was up until an ungodly hour trying to finish painting the red background in time for the deadline. i prefer the first version, but i still think this one is rad tbh. i got 100/100 points on it! drawing astarion was the most time consuming part, but also the most rewarding TvT

the morning glories are there due to their association with rebirth and light after darkness! cazador's rules are made from splicing together words/passages from a kjv bible from the internet archive. the hands are actually from my first and also current playthrough!

Some other pieces:

These are all pieces I made for a class where the focus was on value, color, lighting, and composition. I also experimented with ways to enhance my paintings, which are done traditionally, with digital painting and edits. Part of the challenge was trying to make those enhancements blend with the style and texture of the watercolors. I definitely learned a lot with these assignments and know what areas I still improvement to make. Reaping Roots is still in the very early stages of creation :3
