Super fun process painting this piece. I wanted to try rending flash lighting here, definitely not something I do very often but I actually really enjoy how this turned out. With flash lighting it seems like subjects tend to get flattened out a bit, and shadows tend to emerge on the outer edges of subjects. You can see this example on the pipes in the background for example.
I also ended up changing the characters expression pretty last minute, so I didn't get it on video, but the purpose of that was to kind of change the vibe of the piece into something that's a bit more lively and lighthearted! :) I attached the before and after below! Along with the reference as well
