Thanks Dregan! This is actually the second time I have seen the phrase "storybook" in reference to my art, I think that's an interesting and wonderful way to describe it (It's a traditional sketch base with digital color/shading/light effects)
Working on the bluish night-time colors on the "overlay" layer... and then I stick a new "hard light" layer on top and assault my eyes with the bright cyan XD It was a super fun lighting experiment!
Oh wow! Honestly I thought you'd done it all digital but used a kind of brush to imitate more traditional lines - your digital touch-up is so clean looking I wouldn't've thought the lines were originally sketched! Really good work, and was cool to hear about the process!
