Continuing my gimmick of redrawing the crossed paths art from Octopath Traveler 2, I moved on to perhaps my favorite duo of the eight-traveler cast - Osvald the scholar and Partitio the merchant. These two have totally different circumstances and reasons for traveling, yet they were paired together by the game anyway, and I do love the little dynamic they have in the game. Painting them properly was quite fun, especially with the color palette I chose. It was very warm, even when accounting for the complimentary blues, so conveying the night sky without making an outright sunset was a fun challenge (the night sky being a necessary element due to their story involving creating a telescope and stargazing).
