This was a commission that I finished recently. This is not one of my characters, I just drew this according to a description that was provided. I tried to give the throne and background an Egyptian feel because of the setting of the story itself. I am also satisfied with the shading of the character here. The shading is unconventional to my previous style. I tried a different approach and I think it came out quite realistic. The background was shaded more with the original crosshatching/hatching technique.
While working on the background, I tried my best to make it as symmetrical as possible as Egyptian architecture is known to be very akin to symmetry. Overall this was a very valuable experience for me, working with the background and the shading technique used on the character helped me advance further and learn techniques which I hope to use for my future projects.
