This is the fifth and final part of my Time Lapse series which show how I created the painting “Uphill Battle”.

In part 1 I show the “brainstorming” or sketching phase which slowly turns into detail rendering in part 2. In part 3 I go back to the brainstorming or experimentation phase as I wasn’t happy with how the knight/paladin character turned out. In part 4 I finish the detail rendering on the other character which in the end turned out to be a rogue instead of a paladin as I had intended.

In the final episode I add the colors and lighting and make some final adjustments.
