stages of progress, haven't worked on it in 2 years and now I have a different direction I want to go with it 😅

Full image of my banner - the mage/sorcerer is an original character that I made for another project, sunset photo was a quick snap I took during a client session

2021 I think? This was an experiment / test of my skills - usually I start with a photograph and create my artwork from there. This time I wanted to see how close I could come to photorealism "from scratch" digitally, without a source image. Not quite my goal, but I'm really proud of the eyes :)

Gonna use this space to share some artwork :)
This is the full version of my pfp (I used to do image competitions, so some of the images I share will have "guide images" showing how I created it)
