Description

After Ember in Orange without any blue (Day of Embers), I guess I now have a Skystar in blue without any of her yellow. The hues are entirely in the cyan/blue/violet range. No yellows.

I did have to adjust the colours drastically in the end. During painting I had a range from green to violet, but with a filter I reduced the greens into blue. (See WIP for change)

Inititally this was actually just a random Anthro pony OC, then I thought I'd finally make my first Hippoygriff OC, but then not-Skystar turned into Skystar... same story as with the Ember piece and dragon OCs haha.

Both Anthro I guess.

It's been fun exploring these complexities in colour theory and how we perceive it all. Playing around with it, getting a better understanding of it in practice. I've had some theory on it, but I never quite sat down to paint stuff like this specifically.

Of course, I experiment with all the other things as well, such as anatomy, feathers, composition, poses, etc. And this one I did move a lot slower with than Ember's, but it's also slightly more clean while still... dirty brushstrokes.

Maybe if I wasn't so focused on deciding on the colours

Oh, and I guess this is the first Skystar painting... not first sketch, tho.

Approx Time: 8-9 hours?
