Orangesong

Started this after taking a month or so off of making any art short of sketches. I realized after working with texture/line that I actually missed painting and missed having the control I can have. After trying to render this without lines I missed them, too, so this is my current "style", or, as I see it, painting/texture/line compromise that feels right.

I've been thinking a lot about the color orange lately and I want to try doing an orange-themed show at school if possible with friends. (Though I feel that this could now very easily be a color series.) So nothing heavy conceptually, although it was inspired by the chapter on Orange in Victoria Finlay's "Color: A Natural History of the Palette".

I would really like to see an actual ginger monk, haha.

Texture credits because I'm still too lazy to make most myself; next step I suppose:
