Cordéllia, Angel of War, 2019

Each year towards the end of December, I will challenge myself to paint a portrait to some capacity of the protagonist of my first novel. The general goal is to be able to compare the newest one with that of the year before to show myself how much I have learned over another year. This painting was done towards the end of 2019, which I also submitted for the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future contest where I placed as a finalist in the spring of 2020. The challenge for this painting was to limit myself to a more monochromatic, blue palette and still be able to push lights and darks as well as atmospheric perspective.
