Continuing the Elements Band, here’s the Saxophonist. 

Previously in this series:
Guitarist (Fire Bard)
Horn Player (Cloud Song)
Drummer (Earth Tones)

Two to go! (the Water Harpist and the Rhythm Witch).

Er yes, I do have more elements than Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Ooops?

I think the thing is that messing with Gaussian Blur and Level and Channels—maybe there’s both more and less information than needed? Because sometimes there are fine details and sometimes not? This one’s blur might’ve been too big (see the ghosting in the preview?) but I rather liked the effect when I went to color it anyway. 

I’m catching up! Huzzah! 

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
