Ugh. This is a perfect example of a good idea being poorly executed. This painting is from a few years back, I just found it buried in my basement. It's one of my earliest attempts at figuring out how to do these paintings.
The use of space and technique is embarrassing, but I still like the core idea.
I really want to go back and try to salvage this project at some point. I think I could eventually turn it into something presentable. I'll probably set it as a side project, because I have too many new projects to think about that are way higher on my priority list. I might even be better off taking the core idea and starting from scratch. Something to muse on, I suppose.
I do remember that the text is in the actual game font, and that it was a total bitch to paint, mainly due to my method at the time. The frame border is also the actual window border in-game, and the corner spheres are the four elemental orbs. Thankfully I've gotten way better at these projects at literally every step of the process.
Gah, it's so hideous!!!
