Description and brighter still

i promised some 'darker' experimental stuff, and here's a tentative step towards it ~
when i sketch traditionally i find my art is a lot richer and moodier than what most of my gallery consists of here,
so i'm trying to play around with that digitally, and eventually find a style and techniques that feel more 'me'

i drew my lovely boy Tíchún who i've neglected a bit, so i felt he deserved some love :' )
he's an odd mix of cervine/equine and has kirin-like features, so he's fun to just draw without references as i did here hah,

hope you guys like this piece !
apart from messing around with textures etc, the actual painting took me just over an hour, which is crazy fast for me o v o
(tho having spent a day organising my ps brushes definitely helped lmao ahhh isn't it the best feel when you go from like 300 brushes to 50?)

I was excited to see what you would post next after saying you'd try something 'darker'!

The colours here are so beautiful and rich, the contrast just works so well and i'm in love with that dark red background with the faint purpley and almost green hues, it really gives it a dark earthy almost fantastical feel. Amazing as always! <3

I really like it, how Tíchún with his bright color pops out of the darker background.

Well done
