I can’t believe I managed in time wish I had had more time, but it is what it is.
Inspired by the butterfly spirit collectibles and the opalescent crystal (my fave)
Edit: Laudine allowed me to fix the stray line :')
lmao I didn't have enough time to color and do everything I wanted to do so I got creative and solo outlined the goddess Serena and her magical fairy guardian
I figured it's a pretty interesting/unique take on coloring! I hope it's okay lol rip
Me: I don't have time to print out this weeks line art.
Also Me, For Some Reason: I do have time to color it digitally despite never having done digital art before (unless you count using Paint when I was a toddler), despite not even knowing how to do really traditional art, and despite not even having a tablet.
I didn't manage to shade every in time (how do I color shiny stuff like the crystals and the jewelry so that the texture looks good???), but I had so much fun! I've always been interested in trying digital art but kind of waffled since I didn't want to buy a tablet just to not use it, but I really liked doing this. It's less stressful than traditional art because I'm not afraid of wasting materials/screwing things up beyond repair.
I learned a lot along the way (I only figured out the opacity slider and its uses, like, 3/4th of the way into everything; here I was just crying over the color selector), and I only hecked up my layers, like, twice! Is my mouse broken now? Probably! Once I get a tablet, I'll be so powerful; you have no idea.
Even with all the tools at my disposal, I couldn't do this beautiful lineart justice, but I did my best so I have no regrets~ I'm just glad I got it done and submitted in the nick of time! Thank you for all the lovely lineart and for allowing us the opportunity to color them! @Mick@dizzy bone@Laudine
