Description
I'm so glad I finally have time to post this! A commission for Changer, of two of his characters from his comic, Semper Fi. The fine tall lady on the left is Sara, and the wonderful tall gentleman on the right is Vartan. If you want to know more about their background story and the world they live in, Semper Fi is a REALLY good comic, and I recommend it to all anthro fans.DA group - semperficomics.deviantart.com/

I lack WIP shots of this one because I flattened the file in the middle of painting it. XD It didn't impeded my ability to finish the piece, just getting the shots of all the layers at work can't be done now! Still, I'm pleased with the outcome. Now, go check out that comic!

I love the poses and facial expressions here, they really bring out the strong look of the characters! The backlighting really adds to the dramatic atmosphere too. Very cool.

Ahhh, your work is always so clean and awesome, Esk. I just love the lighting toooo. Quick question: how do you do that... backlighing(?) thing. You know, where the shadows are darkest around the edges and lighter in the middle? That's something I've never been able to pull off for some reason. Is it just a matter of erasing the multiply layer in the middle of the shadow, and leaving it alone around the edges?
I really have to learn how to work with a few layers like you do. Working completely in black and white takes too damn long and leads to wonky colors. ;~;

That's pretty much what I do, yep! But instead of erasing it, I paint into it with a lighter color, appropriate to the lighting situation. Like here, lots of red in the environment so the reflected light is a cool red that's slightly lighter than the color I chose for the shadows.
