Silksong Hornet Portrait

I like the game and the character design leaves a lot room for creative expression, which I appreciate a lot!
So this one is a lot inspired by Dan Dos Santos and Tom Bagshaw. I experimented with simpler shapes again, like the square shapes that are just textured with a pattern, might use that more as I did on the Makima and Power portraits as well as some older paintings from over 10 years ago 
It is always nice to discover some style elements that allow for a good composition, in this case to drive the viewers gaze around the circular arrangement from the butterflies and the little squares. 

In terms of composition I also like to double shapes, so the hairstyle is by intention the same shape like the black part under the red cape.
