Luta's Tsar Ivan ATC

2:2 trade with in which I did two of her OCs in my style, and she chose from my suggested themes. But we didn't tell each other what we'd chosen to keep the surprise reveal.

For the second card, I chose her OC Ivan who is the tsar of the Rystoos. So I thought it'd be fitting to do a royal portrait of some sort where he's wearing the traditional Rystoo costume. The card looks much sparklier in person as I used pearlescents for the background and the border.

I'm afraid I was having trouble rendering in my personal style, as I'm still trying to figure it out myself, and both cards came out looking like little kids. This card looks a little better in person. I hope I didn't disappoint.

Here's 's half of the trade. She did a papercut of my blue octo and a very charming green owl!
