I go with more traditional paint this time, instead of what I intention here.
As usual I start with the sketch but this time I want it looks more details, planning to paint it roughly underneath. Boi how wrong am I lol

Then I rough painting the whole pic so I can see the overall color.
I want it to feel a bit deep and dark, planning to have some dark blue forest behind him.

The first version is good but I don't like how it looks like under water. Too watery.
So I paint another one. Using The Sword in the Stone color palette as a references for cool, deep jungle feel.

Too cool XD I need something in between. I then added some warm lighting and tree shadow on him.

Perfect! Time to clean the painting up!

VoilĂ ! Now we're ready for the next final step. Composition time! I'm gonna put everything in timeline and render, and maybe fix here and there.
Stay tune!
