Illustration of Tyris Flare, another of my Golden Axe digital paintings.
This painting has probably taken around 50+ hours in total because it's so large. It started out as sketches using some pose reference books.
I completed the drawing in my usual way of blocking in shapes, add details, blend and add more details. I eventually add colour, tone, saturation and texture where it matters. I pay more attention to the face than anywhere else. Some areas need more details but I would be painting this forever.
I have other illustrations to finish for Golden Axe for the final composition.
