Fairy Tail: Brandish Μμ Plus!

Added 2024-07-13 01:31:21 +0000 UTC

With that I'm caught up on honorable mentions! At least until the current poll finishes. XD Special thanks to the patron who suggested the Mermaid design for the alt; feel free to take all the credit in the comments! XD

I haven't gotten far enough into Fairy Tail to meet Brandish so I can't really say whether I've captured her personality or not, but I think I did a good job of mimicking her design from the images on the wiki.

Also, I tried some new techniques I learned on youtube:

-Cel Shading Techniques (Marc Brunet)

-Coloring with Gradient Maps (also Marc Brunet)

I find using the Gradient maps to color really interesting.

Instead of using them the specific way that he does in the video, I've been doing a quicker, dirtier version of my usual method and then using the Gradient maps to finetune all the hues and values. They give you a ton of control over some really subtle aspects of the final product, but at the cost of having to fiddle around a lot to get things right. I'll have to get back to you on whether the advantages they provide are worth the extra time or not.

PATRONS:

Voting for the poll end sunday so make sure you get them in! I'll try to remind you tomorrow night, but if I forget, this will have to do!
