ditto - I honestly joined Dave's Patreon to get the high res for this so I can print it for my office. Is there any way we can get Dave's attention?

Douglas Nagle

Yeah I would love to have this to print as well.

Jeremy Umlah

Noticed this is sold out now, is there anywhere we can find the high res to print our own?

Hi Dave! New patron (and first time Patron user) after I saw your FF6 piece. Incredibly impressive stuff and I really appreciate the level of detail you provide for your process. I have one question. On one of the Simon rendering slides you mention setting your watercolor brush to 30-60%. Is that opacity? And when you mention using the same brush earlier for the line work, what was the percentage it was set at? Thank you so much!

I don't think so. I believe it is a private commission!

Rodolfo Canato

This art is AMAZING... is this available for download?

Alfred Manzano

Thanks Dave!

David Rapoza

Thanks! And yes, Christopher is right, I use it to individually adjust colors in the characters, it's really great for that.

Alfred Manzano

Thanks Christopher! I just tried this filter out and Holy Shit..... life changer haha

Christopher

It allows you to edit individual colours, so you can change the reds in your picture to be blue as an example... kinda like when you change the hue slider and your picture goes all whacky colours, but for single colours at a time, and with precision. So Dave might use it only to tweak the colour of the red armour for Simon. At least, if I remember correctly!

Alfred Manzano

congrats on the baby man! Thanks for sharing all this. I was surprised that you begin rendering over your line layer, I always rendered below my lines then use another later after to brush out my lines, I'm definitely gonna try your approach. also question, if anyone can answer. what is "Selective color" adjustment???

Adrian Trueman
