For Peacock Tutorial Badge by Sunsphynx on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Seems badge tutorial submissions are all I ever upload these days...

First of all, I hate this new studio setup -- it just ate my long description, typed on mobile, letter by letter, when I accidentally refreshed...

Anyway, try again.....

My submission for the peacock badge, done on Ibispaint X and with finger. Since it seems we don't have to follow the tutorial exactly, I took artistic liberty and based it off a sketch I hade done earlier.

Probably could have spent more time on it, with more lighting/shading layers, but didn't want to make it worse either.

Took 1 1/2 or so hours.

I actually did an aceo of a peacock a while ago, but couldn't fit the smug expression and wanted realism, so here's a chance to finally have a picture of him with the expression I wanted, more or less.
