Chadwick Boseman Tribute

 

I know that I'm late in doing this and everyone has already done theirs but this one was the hardest that I've had to do or asked to do.  When I heard the news of Chadwick Boseman's passing, it hit me pretty hard because it just came out of nowhere for a lot of us.  But just like the tribute that I had asked BlushMallet to do for Carrie Fisher, I asked JulyViolet to do a tribute for Chadwick.  Once it was done it was pretty damn hard to color because not only of the emotional impact but also because it was the most realistic piece that I had done.  And so because of my slight perfectionism, I kept second guessing myself at every turn.  Between the way that the shadows looked and the skin tones, I wanted everything to be just right.  To give the best tribute that could be done.  Once it was done I couldn't help but feel emotional about the whole thing. 

It is my only hope that JulyViolet and I gave the greatest level of respect that this individual had commanded. 

Rest in Power, Chadwick.
