2019 FINISHED DISNEY STYLE NYX PAINTING
March 2, 2019 | Posted in art | By Pepe
Here is the finished Disney animation style on my character Nyx with the background all finished up. She is the main character of Twisted Fate featured in my indie comic magazine Unique Realm Illustrated. Looking forward to having this made as a new shirt design.
Here is my process for creating the background for this illustration. After scanning the traditional Nyx painting, I then imported it in Photoshop. The background design was created using both Illustrator and Photoshop. The main moon background was digitally paint and placed into the Mucha border frame. Border elements were created in Illustrator and imported into Photoshop. Each design element was placed on different layers until the look that I was going for came together.
