My character is supposed to be an evil, plotting sort so I wanted the image to be very offsetting. To achieve this, I started an underpainting with a warm color and then decided to do his robes in a cool color to further upset the balance of how our minds perceive color. I knew his throne needed to have a spiky sort of ugliness and decided on an organic feel for maximum ugly. As I painted in the guy I made sure to let the underpainting show through. I did this in MyPaint and used different sizes of a flat brush for all my strokes. For the chair, I used this tree branch brush that's really realistic and a lot of fun to use.
Very cool, good use of colors.
