    Wip December 2023 Challenge: Midwinter's Eve in Coalfell

    It's been a few months since I could join a contest, but finally found some time so I'm joining for this month. I decided to practice my hand drawn style (which is a continuing work in progress). Here's my lineart so far...

    I was able to get a lot more done, including the shading and most of the color. I still have more detailing to do and then labeling. I drew the line art in Clip Studio Paint, but the rest I have been painting in Rebelle 7, which is quick becoming a favorite for me.

    Looking good!

    I really need to give Rebelle 7 a try once I get my new PC up and running

    Thanks Ifrix! You were actually the one who inspired me to try Rebelle back when you posted about a sale for Rebelle 5 awhile back, so thanks for that.

    This one is close to done. Not sure I'm a fan of the lettering. I may end up taking the map into Gimp for labeling.

    In the sleepy town of Coalfell nothing ever happens. Until on Midwinters Eve when a strange portal appeared in the middle of the river....

    I think I am calling this one done, unless I get another burst of inspiration or see something else to improve.

    Thank you both! It was a fun experiment into a very different style than my usual.
