Grayscale to color is so finicky it’s ridiculous, I’ve gotten it to work occasionally but oh my God.
The world building behind these pieces is so interesting!
Did you ever explain why they all have white hair?

[@kaibaa]

Thank you!! And yeah every time I try it doesn't go how I want but I reckon I'll eventually get it. It doesn't matter too much in the end because I prefer painting in colour straight away, but I like to practise things I'm not as comfortable with, especially as I think greyscale is useful for getting to know values :)
And they all have white hair and light eyes as part of Oles' blessing. I wanted something in their character designs that made them similar to each other and marked them apart from other characters who have normal hair - it's the same reason why the Vessel also has white hair too!
