One of the fun things about digital art is to be able to significantly alter an original piece with ease.

The first artwork below is an image from a graphic novel I considered writing about a young girl traveling by ship a few centuries ago to the new Americas.  The plan was to do a sepia-toned short story about her travels on board and navigating life alone in the new world.

A month or so later, I started doodling some pieces for a fantasy

A month or so later, I started doodling some pieces for a fantasy. The girl above became a rather facetious character— the persona of the element water with a penchant for stirring trouble. Here's her remake below. She stands deep in a dark forest watching her target of malicious intent.

Same girl, just a new background. I messed with coloring and luminosity to create this drenched creature.

For the fun of it: She's drawing out this next person to lure her to a portal.

On her walk home from a friend's home one evening, this character took cover in the edge of the wood from a low and angry storm cloud

On her walk home from a friend's home one evening, this character took cover in the edge of the wood from a low and angry storm cloud. At this moment, before she's lured deeper, she wonders at her bad luck streak (which turned really bad when I axed their story).

This particular tale fell flat, but it gave rise to some key parts in what would become Brittle a year or so later.

I may do a shadow/shine chapter next! Showing some images before the addition of shadows, light, and shine, and then after. Such examples are always a fun reference tool for those interested in beginning graphic art.

Thanks for checking this out!
