I kind of had no idea what I was doing here- This was actually the first time I watched tutorials on something graphic-related, smudge-edit-related to be specific. I've always admired editors who specialize in smudge edits! The overall attention to detail amazes me.
This was sort of just me experimenting, trying out new things with highlights, shadows, colors, all that fun stuff. I didn't really add that many details, specifically in illustration. I'll be sure to experiment more with illustrations in the near future! Overall, I'm proud of this! Especially the eyes and hair.
Side note: my laptop crashed at least fifteen times while making this edit :''D
I don't really like how this turned out at all. I wanted this to look full of life, fire, and motion, but I was having lots of trouble creating that look. However, with the look it ended up with, it's not entirely terrible. It just doesn't satisfy my original vision. On a more positive note, I do think the horns and wings fit in well, and I'm proud of my play on words with the title! (And I placed second!)
For the Kpop fans here: I'm not sure if it's been completely obvious, but Lee Know from Stray Kids is my ultimate bias! Stray Kids as a whole is one of my favorite groups. Their group chemistry is what won me over! They're also one of the most well-rounded and talented groups in the industry at the moment, in my opinion. I'd love to rant more about them some other day.
