Ended up messing around with a different process with this one.
1. V Rough sketch.
2. Clean lines.
3. Value painting.
4. Gradient maps applied to create general palette.
5. Colorize with soft light/color layers.
6. Paintover to paint out lines and refine rendering.

Thanks man, high praise from the bass master 🫡

If you liked this, I'd HUGELY appreciate if you check out the youtube channel or otherwise share it with folks, there's some other memes you may enjoy FF14 gang.

When making this I based it off of a selection of my favorite parts of the animated opening, as well as from the Netflix one.

I remember watching Outlaw Star on toonami when I was like 8 years old.

One of my first exposures to anime. Truly this show was ahead of the catgirl curve

I forgot I had crossposting extension installed when I wrote this reply on twitter, but I stand by it

Yeah I am bad at crossposting Dx

full disclosure the idea for this one is pretty wholesale taken from a meme Snuffy made a while ago which I always wanted to find an excuse to replicate. Give the original some love pls.
