Night festival for Vasco and De Sardet – Greedfall fanart

GreedFall videogame fanart – Captain Vasco of the Nauts and Lady Phoebe De Sardet are in Hikmet, enjoying a night festival. Vendors, street artists, and much more. Commission for Merruschka.

Some WIPs.

My technique changed a bit, and I’m getting faster. Basically,
1) finding 50-100 different reference pictures and studying them, keeping many of them on my second screen
2) rough sketch and rough shadow/light map
3) fine detailing
4) With Lazo tool, creating levels – not one level per item, but one level per… strata, Idk how to say, so to keep the number of levels low and not mess up
5) alpha lock on levels and coloring
6) merging many layers, keeping just foreground/middle/back.
7) filters to harmonize everything
8) addition of rim lights, use of “screen” and “burn” levels to adjust lights and such to make the image pop
9) details and such.
