A few weeks ago, I watched Arcane and was blown away by this show. I just love it on every level: the artistry of the visual style, the quality of the animation, the characters, and the story - I was truly captivated and realized that I haven’t been this excited about animation in years! <...

It’s been a while since I sat down and made a more detailed painting! I’ve been so into purple/sepia tones lately, and I couldn’t help but channel that aesthetic into this painting idea.
Hope you like this one ~ have an amazing weekend, everyone!
