Hey everyone, it's time for the last update in April!

There's really no way for me to do a recap this month because this was all about the process, not the individual pieces, so let's just see how this thing turned out!

The only thing that needed a little extra work was the light on the figure, I added some on the back and the side of the face closest to the viewer. It looks pretty good!

Thanks for sticking with me this month, I know it was quite the winding path I took to this point, but I'm grateful that was able to stay the course.

Make sure to check back tomorrow to see what the theme will be for next month!

Hey everyone, it's update time!

I know I mentioned yesterday that I'd be starting color tomorrow, but I just couldn't wait! Have a look.

I've got to tweak it just a bit more, and then it'll be finished, check back tomorrow to see how it turns out!

Hey everyone, it's update time.

This one's gonna be short and sweet. Here's the progress since last night.

It looks like just a teeny bit of face work, but it actually took a bit of time to figure out. I still think the expression needs to be polished just a little further. That's what I'll do tomorrow, then the 30th will be color.

Stop by tomorrow to see the latest!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

So this one might look really subtle, but it actually took a lot of time, check it out.

I cleaned up all of the edges of the figure, and painted the background a bit more. I also softened those edges too, and painted over the wing in the background to help it appear to recede into the picture.

I've only got a couple days to get the design fleshed out completely, I think I'll be saving color for the last day.

That's all for tonight, stop by tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's update time again!

I worked on the face and thing wings a bit more this morning, have a look at how they turned out.

I tried to give the face a bit more dimension, since it's been looking a little flat. I also added detail to the wings to make it look like they're actually covered in feathers, I'll probably work in a little more detail on those in the next update too.

Only four days left to finish, I'm feeling good about keeping everything on schedule, and I know I'm gonna like the way this turns out.

Check back tomorrow for something new.

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Still working on the same piece, surprising, right? It seems like I've actually come up with something I truly like! Check it out.

Tonight I spent some more time fleshing out the musculature of the character's back, detailing the wings, and I even messed with the background a bit. I'm struggling a little bit with the face, I don't really know where I'm going with it right now. I think it's going to be lit from both sides, since there is quite a bit of brightness on the back, maybe I should use some light that contrasts in color for dramatic effect. All that stuff's still a couple days off, so once I get this to a more finished state I'm sure I'll have a decision on that.

Alright, that's all for now. Check back tomorrow for another update!

Hey everyone, it's update time!

Tonight's update will be a whole lot shorter than last night. Here's how the piece is progressing.

I added a little more detail to the wings and back, and fleshed out the face a bit more. I think I want to keep this image looking kind of sketchy, so I've got to find the right balance between rendering and stylizing.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for something new!
