I recently got around to finishing this painting that I started a while back, of Katilyn, my Paladin. I decided to try doing some things a bit differently than I normally do with this painting. I wanted to try using a more painterly style with more visible brush strokes than I have in my previous paintings, and this was also my first attempt at starting the painting in grayscale and adding the colors in at the end. Both of those techniques are things I think I still need more practice at, but overall I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. The colors do look a bit muted, but I think it works for this particular piece. I think I want to try doing something with bolder colors next, though.
The painting was done entirely in Photoshop. I primarily used the Acrylics 175 brush from Kyle's Megapack, and a basic soft round brush for the glow effects.
