Hi-ya, guys! What's up?
How did your week go? Get ready 'cause you're in for a treat!
Last week, I got into the zone & thanks to ErdaEnos, the polishing of the Throne Room Backgrounds are done! She helped me a lot by lending me her eyes & opinions about making things more realistic (especially about the gold!). Well, a picture speaks more than 1000 words, so here's a preview of Before and After!
The gold is much more realistic now and the overall brightness is less taxing on the eye. I also changed the chandelier to a proper candle chandelier since the last one look more like a lamp/lantern and doesn't fit the world's timeline. Doesn't it look nice? Oh, wait until you see it lit!
It feels like I've jumped to the next level or something 😂 it's quite a big improvement, right? Or is it just me?
In any case, I'm really happy with the polishing process this time! The Hallway background is also 80%-ish done, I still need to draw some rough portraits to display on the wall and maybe tweak the light/shadow a bit more.
Last but not least, I've documented the process of implementing light/shadow for the Hallway background as a bonus for my $5+ patrons on Patreon! You can go and see it if you're curious about my step-by-step process~
Phew, I'm sure that's quite a lot to take in, but that's it for today's update!
As always, thanks for sparing some of your time to read this update and I'll see you again next week!
Stay safe, eat your meals, and don't forget to take plenty of rest!
xoxo,
SweetChiel
