Been working in this in my free time :0 My character Amaranth sleeping in the ruins of what once was part of a house, or a forgoten tower.
I wanted to try to tell some kind of story with the landscape, I almost never draw Amaranth with structures in the background, so I wanted to try drawing a small castle this time.
This was originally going to be a realistic portrait of Amaranth but I really like how it looks like this, and I feel like if I keep adding detail to it I'm going to ruin it :b
This portrait was quite experimental, in itself it is more than anything a sketch and I painted and fix some parts as I start working on the shading, to make it look cleaner.
For a long time I been wanted to change, a bit, the design of Amaranth, as well are-design his reference sheet. His original sheet was very dark, and I really don't like how I arranged the information, not to mention that design was a mess and his mane was so dark that you couldn't see any detail. I didn't change his original design much, because in the end it's a design I am very fond of, but if I simplified it a bit and changed the green tones for more orange tones, seens it was the least I liked about his original design.
