burnt toest

Process for red rover/ firewall piece:




1. my approved concept sketch



2. since I really liked certain parts of the rough, I just traced those parts on new paper as I worked out a more finalized sketch.



3. finished figuring out the details like lighting and how to manage the space under the entwined arms.



4. after scanning that in, I made a colour rough in photoshop. turns out having this step done helped me later when I wanted to experiment with different sky colours, who would've thought!



5. Jody made the awesome suggestion of making the sky golden. I think it looks wayyyy better! To get that fire to really glow I kept it as white as possible till the very end when I dashed some yellow/orange on it.



6. See?



7. the very final! did some sanding touches to the sky and foreground, and brought in some slight "highlights" in the shadowy area on their backs.
