Step by step
This was the sketch approved by Pibara, using Jan Malmsjö as main reference as the reference models post made by him at my request:
@pibara/ragnarok-conspiracy-casting-reference-models-for-marylucy-to-work-with

Started to paint his face to do the hardest (in my opinion) first, because colour old man skin take a lot of time if you use a realistic style. The process was too long but worth the hard work :3.

Then I put bases colours on their clothes to divide canvas.

Before start to detail clothes, I wanted to colour the background to "relax" a bit before I work hard on their suits.

I corrected position of his hand and added bases colours. Bjarne's suit is almost ready in this step.

And ready!
I detailed their stylish clothes and then add final lights details that I always do. Also correct the tablet for realism and the other things on the table too ^^.

This experience has been very fruitful to my artistic development and I hope I've shaped that Pibara wrote. It was make an old character with many details on his skin, it was a great challenge.
