Hey everyruby,
Oh, the composition for this illustration was a nightmare XD I did not know what I was doing for the first half of it, until I suddenly had the idea to create a very harsh backlighting effect- and suddenly, it all came together.
The best part of this drawing, to me, was the interaction between Ezra and Rama. Chapter 5, overall, was a blast for me in terms of character interactions, with this one being no exception! I love the look on Rama’s face, the sass in Ezra’s pose, and just the feeling of playful tension between them all together.
In terms of environment, though, this illustration didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted it to. It was tough for me to balance the harsher lighting conditions in such a way that I could still put focus on the two characters in the centre, so I opted for a less refined background that I honestly feel like I could have done a better job at. I certainly feel like I captured the vibe of the Academy better in the other illustrations for the chapter, but something I do really like about this one is the pattern on the glass I (admittedly accidentally XD) created ^^ Combined with the little rainbows I added to showcase a bit of refracted lighting, it’s my favourite depiction of Arthyrell’s windows so far!
Also- I just love how gritty Ezra’s bindings look ^^
Keep living the Magic
