Illustration Work-in-Progress | February 27, 2025

Crop from a digital painting where one character is holding the other by the chin. Flame-like wisps emerge from his open palm, snaking under the other's jaw and throat.

Wanted to post some progress on this illustration I’ve been fiddling around with! Corveil and Arquel again here.

The loose idea behind this one is, “Not your voice, not your vision.” This is also another of the ideas that I sketched a while back, and didn’t add to in a while – though not as long ago as the previous “Don’t Listen” illustration. This idea looks like it was first sketched last year, in May 2024. I think this was another one that wasn’t turning out as I liked at the time, and I set it aside to prioritize other things.

While sometimes that results in a pile of ideas which risk remaining untouched and unresolved, for this and “Don’t Listen,” these paintings surprisingly benefited from being set aside.

Full composition where we can see both characters in a forest-like environment. There are winding trees and what appears to be a fallen stump. Both characters stand in shallow water, painted a crystalline blue.
The full composition (in-progress).

Here’s how the full composition looks – haven’t added clothing yet. Or more hands, haha. There will be both! I promise.

Same crop as at the top of the post, only cropped more narrowly.
Another crop!

And one more detail crop that’s more narrow.

Added a few more thoughts.
