Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for another month of supporting my art and falling through this world with me! ๐ฟ
I actually dropped the idea of the ship in this one - it came down to what I feared in the sketch - it took away too much from the main focal point in this painting. As this painting certainly isn't about a conflict or competing, I wanted it to have one single focus.
Besides this, in mid painting, I actually merged all my layers together and worked on one single layer, which scared me a lot in the beginning, but somehow leads to thinking more steps ahead and needing better color control. It's strange that this limitation brings freedom and advantages - much like pixel art itself.
Anyways, it started snowing here, and that cozy feeling is starting to set in again ^^
Looking forward to painting more this weekend - I hope you have a great Christmas time.
Take care,
Simon
