Gearing up for some licensed visual development on the novels by Brandon Sanderson (actually for the RPG based on the novels), so I'll probably spend a good chunk at the end of the year on this sort of content. I haven't officially started the job yet, so until I have this is all "fan art", but I do prefer to work towards a purpose.
Amusingly enough, I've been drawing a lot of comics lately (not Mistborn but Fates work), but I'm not allowed to post any of 'em. So weak.
Anyhow, this is painted in B&W because I expect that's what I'll be doing (actually I expect to do a lot more linework, but I'm trying to push myself up a notch with paints. It's a painting of one of the main characters, and yes the sword is in proportion (it's taken from someone lit. twice her size, and she's using magic to bump her strength and resilience up to manage it. Trust me, it works within the context of the books).
But I since I had the values worked out, I thought I'd try putting a little color in there:
Mostly done by laying a flat color layer on Multiply over the greys, and then coming back for another pass to do the rim light and the details. Hit me back with your thoughts, let me know where I need to improve.
