Painting of Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes from 'Loki'

about 1 year ago

Hello everyone, how are you all today? I hope everyone is having a great day today.
I made a new digital painting today.
As i have stated before that i am trying to make everything productive, even all the the movies and tv shows i watch. So, i watched the latest episode of 'loki' from season two. The tv series is from marvel.
So far 4 episodes have been released. My inspiration for this painting is taken from that episode. Honestly speaking this episode was a bit terrifying. Mostly because of the clock shaped ai named miss minutes. i included her in the drawing.

I mean from the beginning of this show, everyone can agree that miss minute is a bit creepy, speaking of an ai, her tone, her looks and everything is a bit weird and creepy. but in this season this character got so much more terrifying. In one of the previous episode she floated the idea that she wanted to be a real person. If you have seen any movies including robots who want to become like real people, you know its not good.

And do you see the look in her eyes in this drawing? That is the look she gives when renslayer is killing some of the other tva members by crushing them inside of time door type of box. I guess because the show was pg-13 or something like that which is why they didn't show the grusome stuff but if it was a show like 'the boys' or 'gen v' then we could have seen the killing seen on screen.

you would think renslayer is the monster here for killing all those people in this scene but the look on miss minutes face was much more terrifying. its like she is enjoying other peoples misery for the first time.

I will describe the entire drawing process below.

I start with a rough sketch of ravonna renslayer. you can't actually capture her likeness in the sketch, because the proportions didn't match perfectly but the dress and her entire look is the thing that hints at who this person is.

Then i used three separate layers to define three separate parts of this drawing. One for the face, One for the shirt, and the other is for the hair, which i haven't started yet.
At first i used a round basic brush to fill in those layers with colors, and then i used the selection tool which is like a lasso tool to make some crispy selection for the light and shadow parts.
I did them at the beginning because i was thinking of making this drawing a edgy piece of work. That has sharp edges everywhere. But later i went with my normal style.
At this point of the drawing i blending the rough edges of the colors, tried to define some shadow areas and some light areas on the shirt.
i decided to not go crazy with details on the clothing part. That makes no sense and also most of the time does not look very good.

At this point of the drawing i started to use my favorite textured brush with a really low opacity and draw very slowly. i sort of like drawing like this. because of low opacity i have use the pen a lot more and it feels good draw like that.
the colors looks a bit ragged and messy but i blend them later.
Here i make some more adjustments to the clothing part. First i create a lot of rough shapes. i guess i could use a bigger brush for this but using a smaller one creates a lot of different shapes which sort of stays even after blending them together.

And here i started to draw miss minutes. This was a fun little part of the drawing.
This did not took a lot of time to draw. it was quite simple, even the horrifying expression was done under a minute.
At the end of the drawing i added some final light adjustments. Miss minutes is literally made of light or appears as a light hologram that also emits a bit of orange light. so i used one overlay and one add layer of orange color there.
I also added the little lighted area on her foot as if she is standing on something, she does pretend to walk around in the show.
After that i took a lightpen brush to add some final details to ravonna renslayers's hair. I used one more light layer to show some light being shown on renslayer's face that is emitted from miss minutes.
And that is all of this drawing.
