Arcana Portrait series
I started playing The Arcana: A mystic romance and I just fell in love with it as a whole, the art, the writing, the characters. I decided to do a few portraits since my style was pretty similar to the game and I wanted to practice it so I picked out a few frames from the game and did portraits of them.
All the portraits I've done so far.
Julian was the first one I've done, trying to fit into the style. There are some things I'd change, but I liked adding a little bit of personal touch on it.
The hair was the biggest challenge, but I've done so many braids it wasn't really that bad, and pretty enjoyable in the long run.
This piece is where I started getting really comfortable with the style, and I love the radiance I managed to achieve with this one.
The details were a love/hate relationship, but I really did enjoy seeing this piece come together the way it did.
