HP Tarot card progress - The Emperor
MAXIMUM SMUGNESS FULL SPEED AHEAD.
Pretty sloppy but I feel this is enough to be going on with. The Empress is (sort of) sunrise; The Emperor is (sort of) sunset. There's no significance behind that beyond that the lighting fit the color palettes I wanted.
Edit: Oh yeah, gotta ask all y'alls. Does he look sufficiently "James", and not just "older Harry"? (I'd like to hope the smugness helps there.)
I'm finding that my art efficiency is improving tremendously since I started setting aside a temp folder to collect "style guides", or art/pictures that inspire the feel I want for the current piece. Since I consider my painting process to be something like "correcting a series of mistakes until all the most offensive ones are gone," this really helps cut down on the time I spend fumbling around trying to find the "look" I want.
