#look sometimes a birb just feels like thirsting over certain people's necks ok #:^) #I was looking through my refs and an artist I liked did a portrait in a style like this so I wanted to try that out... #but ok also I sometimes wonder what Pitcairn's hair looks like under that hat #given the results of the value-related debacle that was round 1 #this time around I tried to keep it down to just the 3 basic values #but I'm still going for that painty look so yes ahem I used blending strategically #I never usually do lighting at this angle either so it's def a learning experience about which parts actually get lit up by the highlight #(spoiler: it's the nose #I always forget about the nose asdlkfjalsdfa) #also lowkey modern au bcs as much as I love all the frilly jazz of everyone's default clothes this is also good #assassin's creed iii #john pitcairn (ac3)
