It's rare that I remember to keep my progress steps, sooo...! I worked on one layer throughout as I tend to do with portraits (too risky to attempt with illustrations, for obvious reasons). For things like necklace and the markings, I would make an extra layer, but then merge it quickly after.

it was amazing!! 🫶 and while I’ve been hating on the temporary grandstands being a hassle and an eyesore in summer months, once you’re in the venue and facing the castle it admittedly feels kinda cool, especially at sunset (but now I can go back to hating)

My 2016 art actually feels like it belongs ten years ago, which is not to say it was bad, just very different! I was super into drag back then and I didn’t reach my final form until about a year or two later when I discovered the horror/monster genre of queer art, but that’s a tale for next year 🦇
