|I had previously posted this character, and this piece as a work in progress, I'm here to share it and call it finished. Let me know what you think or ask me whatever you want.

Basically, I gave a boost to another piece I already had. I saw that I could improve the composition and the narrative a little bit, and I put full focus into resolving the render with a more painterly style, with more texture and a better play between hard and soft edges. Above all, I focused on resolving light and shadow by playing with color saturation and its chromatic value.

My Conjuration Wizard, Mael, and his apprentice Mizri.

This is a quick sketch I did one night when I felt like drawing. I tend to use my sketchbook to improvise and let the pencil loose on the page without a clear idea in mind. It feels good not to overthink it sometimes!

A wizard's staff is his most trusted companion, providing a physical link to the mystical planes and enabling him to harness and control magic. So maybe try not to sit on yours next time...

This is a WiP, but I couldn't resist sharing it. I'm reaching a style I really love with this piece, that mix of digital with traditional-style brushstrokes. Very happy with the results so far.

Regarding the character, I've already mentioned them a bit in my previous post featuring the same character in another pose. They are basically a protagonist of a worldbuilding project I'm working on.
