another concept painting

I recently learned about rendering in black and white, then later adding color, so I did just that. I started with the black and white rendering.

Then I added a hue saturation layer, and gave the piece a sepia tone.

I need to do more value pieces like these, because value is a lot more important than color.

Paintings like these are merely considered refined sketches. I could go in and refine the piece, but we both know that's not gonna happen
