Artist's commentary
Merry Christmas! Fresh from /tg/’s Magical Girl Noir Quest meta-verse, here’s the Blessed Lady, Pinky, and Malal, just for you!
This picture is a little interesting because I used the all-shadows-on-one-layer technique again, but with a little less blending, a little less of that organic look and a little more cleanliness. Also, I drew on Dan Kim’s inking technique and, instead of using my eraser, I painted white onto my shadow layer when I wanted to trim back my shadows. Because the layer was set on Multiply, this had the same effect as erasing, while also allowing for the blending and texture of a brush! A very interesting way to render, for sure.
