Description
Sometimes you wield an incredible amount of power in the form of a conjured black hole. Other times, you just show off a little with it.

A painting for Mechanodragon of FA! Myst here was another fun one to paint up. It also lined up coincidentally with Goolashe recently watching a lot of videos about space and black holes on the side, so space was already on the mind. 'Course I'm gonna paint up a great character who can also wield the power of a black hole. Uh, duh. I'm predictable that way~

Being serious though, this was also my first real attempt at trying to streamline some of my process, in having a background split for a while from the character, and how I lay color over my grayscale on the figure. I'm not... a hundred percent sure it worked.I mean, it felt a bit cleaner than my usual one layer approach, but I think it also made things a little messier in some areas that took extra time for me to clean up and make right. Perhaps I just need more practice with it? It's hard to say. I'm so used to my one layer method that by the halfway point on this piece, I was already back to it, so I can't tell if I didn't keep things split for long enough, or waited too long before merging things.

Regardless, I'm still pretty happy with the results here. I think Myst came out looking pretty great, if I can say so myself. Hopefully ya'll feel the same. c: Thank you, Myst, for trusting me with your guy, as well as for your patience! Enjoy, ya'll.
