Neon City

[Image ID] Digital painting of a female character, who has green hair, wearing a green top, grey shorts and green boots. She is standing on a balcony overlooking a view of tower blocks at night. [description end]

I regularly do sketches from the outfits I put together on Stardoll, but on this occasion I liked it so much I decided to do a proper painting.

Originally I intended this painting to be done in my usual painting style without black lines, and if you watch the speedpaint you’ll see that I did a large part of it that way before deciding that it had lost something from the sketch stage and deciding to use the lines after all.

In the end I am glad I chose to revert to lineart even though it goes against my usual nature in digital work. I feel that the lines worked well for the blocky shapes of the city below, and helped bring out the different parts of her outfit even though there is little contrast in tones.

The background here is based on one in the game, which you can see pictured below including my character in the in-game version of the outfit.

I did take a few creative liberties when it came to the drawing version, such as reducing the large sequined bunny ears to a more subtle black hairbow, but even so I tried to retain the feel of the original outfit.

I have also created a speedpaint timelapse for this painting which can be watched below or on my YouTube channel:

There are unfortunately a couple of places where the speedpaint ‘jumps ahead’ as I seemingly forgot to press record, but mostly it doesn’t affect the overall experience.
