I started re-reading Red Wall and, of course, was inspired to paint Matthias and Constance ready to battle Cluny the Scourge.

Here is the time lapse.
You can see that I switched from one style of painting to more of a watercolor style. I’m trying to settle on a painterly style that looks more stylized and traditional. This is my first try.
I painted this in Krita, my favorite Open Source painting software.
