dark and stormy

Yesterday my fiance and I were stuck in his apartment because of the storm. After been waken up by the call from my mom around 6 am (she was freaking out hearing the storm is hitting New England) we spend whole day pretty much watching Naoki Urasawa's Monster all day. Oh, we watched Tangled too. It was cute. Then I decided to take over Noah's (my fiance) Photoshop for a while, customizing all brush presets and shortcuts etc and painted the one above. I wonder how many painters did live stream on that day just because they had nothing else to do...

It's been a while since I started working on this one... I decided to come back to this and work a bit more this weekend. Note to myself; start with flat tip brush, always, always...or I'll lose sharp lighting pass. I'm struggling to find good face simplification method without falling into Disney or anime look...
