This is my depiction of Daenerys Targaryen accepting the surrender of the slave families of Meereen after she conquers the city from Game of Thrones.
Below you can see a bit of the process that went into completing the painting. You can see from the process shots that I started with the background and then began what I call a "first pass" on each figure. I started on the top row in the back and slowly worked my way down the steps. After getting several of the figures done I decided to go back and over each figure working on the lighting and color, pushing the temperature and values as my "second pass" I also went ahead and painted the floor and steps.
By this stage all of the lighting and major color decisions were made and all I had to do was paint the remaining figures and make sure they matched the lighting that I had already established.
The final step is going around the image and cleaning up/adding that final level of polish all around the image
