Painting WIP of “Jinu” I may or may not finish. Friends convinced me to watch Kpop Demon Hunters over the weekend, and I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Beautiful artistry and quite a wholesome flick. Jinu was my favorite character, and so I shouldn’t have been surprised by what became of him by the end of the movie, haha.

Between Trahearne and Jinu, I seem to be partial to amber eyes, haha! Corveil as well, to some extent, though I imagine his eyes being tinted a bit more toward a darker orange than Trahearne’s or Jinu’s (and, I have been recently contemplating changing them).

Initial thumbnail composition sketches.

I began by sending Bou & Dali several sketch compositions, based upon their initial description & character references sent to me 

Sketch variations/revisions after receiving client feedback.

The sketch before starting the painting process next.

I cleaned-up the sketch a bit more, before sending it to the client for approval before beginning the “painting” stage of the commission process.

Here’s an in-progress image from during the painting process.
