I wanted to draw something very challenging to balance out the easier things I’ve been drawing. I decided to draw Velkhana from Monster Hunter Stories 2. Velkhana is my favorite of the Elder Dragons, I’m usually fond of the more graceful, elegant, and original monsters. Though, goofy ones are also my fav, too.
I played around so much in CSP. I used SeaSaltShrimp’s custom scale brushes, and TamberElla’s custom foliage brushes. I had to draw Velkhana’s scales individually to be as consistent as possible with her design. The most frustrating part was shading everything. I also ran into a bump that made my computer reset, forcing me to re-line the whole thing ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
Even though this really tested my patience, I still enjoyed breaking my limits. I think it turned out well once it was completed. I didn’t want to add all the stat bars that are in the game, I just kept it simple.
