Art meme #3 - Kevin for de_nugis

[amberdreams]

I was going to do something a bit more fancy and add the angel tablet somehow, but thought this ended up looking better nice and simple.
The palette de_nugis chose was number 16

I initially thought this would be very pale and not very Kevin but actually it was perfect on a black background.
And here is Kevin the Prophet, advanced placement.


I used this photo of Kevin as my reference, and painted it in PaintTool Sai because that allows that lovely soft blending.

Edited to say - any concrit gratefully received!

Beautiful and heart wrenching with that tear track. There's definitely some solid skin tones to work with in that palette.

There were indeed, and that pale blue turns out even paler than it looked on the sample so that made the tear!

Those little samples are deceptive :P
