Art by Me [RLVRT]

Left is the initial sketch. Right is the illustration (so far) over the sketch.

No AI. All done in Photoshop on an Intuos Pro 15 Tablet.

I sometimes imagine what foes and ferocities this version of Diana will tackle and how she'll deal with them. I guess this is just my whimsical interpretation hehe

I think the rendering is coming off well. All done in Photoshop.

All done in Photoshop.

I took my old artwork and painted directly over the canvas. Four hours later, here's the comparison. All done in Photoshop.
Scroll for the solo-version of the 2026 painting!

First frame is part of Pre-Production.
The rest is sketch to finish.

Two separate commissions - all focused on our favourite Eastern-European-Influenced digitized cat burglar. Both done in Photoshop.

There comes a certain point when you have to stop underpainting.

Each part in this underpainting is still separated by material. One layer for the jacket yellows. Another for the dark rims. One more each for the hair, skin, and metallic parts. All of them underneath the linework.

You can still add more paint, but by this stage, everything is already base-defined. You zoom out and the full picture is there. You know where it’s going. The fidelity just isn’t fully there yet.

This is when I merge all the layers into one and begin painting directly over it. Another pass over the face. Correcting proportions. Carving features more clearly. Exploring fine hair lines. Pushing materials and forms further without falling into hyperrealism.

It takes a calm mind to know when the underpainting is done and when the final detailing begins. Especially after staring at the same image for hours or days.

And eventually, another voice comes:
“It is finished.”

Right now, maybe it is finished.
I don’t know yet.
I’m still listening.

Finished the first 5. Several more to complete the Tekken roster.
