Happy New Year 2024.
With this illustration, I would like to wish you a calm and peaceful New Year.
@wolfger@tech.lgbt@davidrevoy Decided that doing last year's as a dragon was a mistake? LOL
@wolfger Haha, true. I decided I could probably start with a bit more optimism this year. My first sketch with ballpoint pen had crows, candle, crystal ball and a old grimoire. But I felt sad only looking at it (photo under), so I probably reacted into the opposite direction 
@davidrevoy oooh i love this though @wolfger
@clacke@libranet.de@davidrevoy [framapiaf.org] I was just going to ask!
Your process in the video looked surprisingly linear, so I figured you had some prototype, either in Krita or on paper, that you were working off.
@clacke@libranet.deStill cool to see it wasn't entirely figured out, as you started with the small waterfall, changed to P&C and then finally went for the empty library.
I love how much you're sharing of your process and material, always fascinating to see even if I don't paint myself and won't make concrete use of it.
@clacke Thanks! Yes, 
I like to prototype on my sketchbook; it's a good way to put an idea on paper and see if it is a brainfart or something a bit deeper.
It also helps me to keep focus when I start Krita: I work better with a target. If I don't, I can paint-over and change ideas forever during the first steps 
Thanks for noticing all the little changes on the process!
