Luminous
Finally finished this one and I'm ore than happy with a result :)
I think Madoka is one of those series that I always wanted to wall, but I wasn't sure if I'll be able to pull out something good enough. With this wallpaper I wanted create a composition of few images with limited color palette, that would use more spicy colors than I usually use. In the end I used them in greater amount than I planned, but I think it came out well. There are some style inconsistencies that I'm not totally happy about, but I think they are bearable. Since original images were drawn in various styles I had to put some extra work to keep at least some basic consistency and so I focus on keeping eyes style same as in original series and hair lighting same as on image by Cocoon that I used.
Here's a progress GIF that you can check out :)
