cacodemum: Superbolide Next entry in my Bird Omens series, we’ve got our resident witch and witchfinder — Anathema and Newton. I knew out the gate I’d want to make Anathema a crow when I started this series, friendly familiars to witches and all, but it also meant I could get this wonderful dichotomy going with Newt being an albino raven. Figured the one poor soul who wants to be a computer programmer but always blows computers up would be a pretty special bird! Given they’re both non-celestials we’ve got no halos, so I opted to do a starry sky with some nebulae using a technique of spraying ink and layering pigment with copic markers over the top. Even broke out the coloured inks for Newt to soften off his lines given his colouration. Anathema’s feathers were built up like Beelzebub — no black used on her at all, only in the background circle, because colour theory is hella cool. Lots of new tech in this given I’m still re-learning after a few years and very fun to do. The rest of the archangel cohort is up next! Others in the series: Aziraphale | Beelzebub & Gabriel | Crowley -- source link
