Hey everyruby,
Here we go! I'm kicking off a much needed speedpaint update I'll be doing this February! I noticed I've been getting incredibly far behind on my speedpaints (I've currently almost fully illustrated chapter 5 and I've only barely finished uploading the speedpaints from chapter 4) so I thought it would be a good idea to post biweekly speedpaints during this month to have a chance at catching up a bit in time for the release of chapter 6, the final chapter of the first arc!
In any case, this artwork was one long overdue. Back when I illustrated the first chapter and came to its cover artwork, I had wanted to bring this concept to life but felt like I lacked the skill to properly pull it off. That and the fact that I had yet to complete the fairies' designs for their feyen forms left me to make the previous cover artwork instead. I always felt like it stood out as a sore thumb compared to the cover artworks I made after that, being the only one without a proper background and, especially for being the first cover that most readers will likely come across, not really selling the vibe of the story.
So for this version, I called back upon that initial idea and explored the duality between past and present times in a different way, by splitting the different outfits from each other by means of an underwater / above water seperation.
The hardest part of the illustration was definitely the water- and it took me three attempts and a lot of tweaking to render it properly, but I absolutely love how it turned out and can now safely say that I can proudly introduce people to the story with this one.
Keep living the Magic
